Wireless Charging Innovation Enabled by Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) Regulators

Vicor Corporation (Headquarters: Massachusetts, USA, CEO: Patrizio Vinciarelli, NASDAQ listed: VICR, hereafter: Vicor) charges batteries installed in robotic devices such as autonomous flying drones, mobile robotics, and fully autonomous underwater robots. We have announced that we have collaborated with WiBotic (Headquarters: Washington State, USA, CEO: Ben Waters, hereafter: WiBotic), which is developing the system.

As the construction of robot delivery and inspection systems progresses, the demand for efficient and flexible charging solutions is increasing, and the task of manning 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and physically connecting robots manually for charging. reduction is required. Enhancing autonomy is currently a challenge, and WiBotic's technology can eliminate human intervention.

By using VICOR's PRM products that use Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) technology, WiBotic is able to achieve highly efficient voltage conversion that has not been achieved with other power supplies. Minimizes charging power limitations due to As a result, compared to conventional charging circuits, we have achieved a smaller size and faster charging capability.
