Robotic snakes will fill the cars Tesla
Robots snakes become automated battery chargers for cars Tesla.
Elon Musk, the founder and President of well-known car company Tesla Motors, said that at present, specialists of the company develop an automated metal "snakes", which, appearing from the hole in the wall, finds the charging port on the car and connects the battery with the charger. This technology is being developed with a view to its versatility, it is fully compatible with all of the seniors now electric cars Tesla cars will be produced in the future, and maybe with some other car brands.
In addition, the universalism of the charging robotic snakes will be in the fact that this device can be installed on specialized charging stations, electrified Parking lots and in the garage of the owner of the electric car. It is the latter ability will be very useful for owners of electric Tesla. The presence of such devices in the garage will save people from having to search the charging connector and connect this connector to the port of the car. This, in turn, can guarantee car battery will always be charged, even despite the exercise of man on the eve of carelessness.
Currently, many researchers in robotics are developing their own versions of snake robots. These include the company OC Robotics, the prototype of the manipulator Series II — X125 shown in the first picture and in the video below. Significant progress also was achieved by researchers from the laboratory of Biorobotic Carnegie melon, but they have created robotic snakes have a different purpose, having nothing to do with cars or the automotive industry.
Still there is no information regarding whether used in the construction of the robot snake Tesla Motors ideas and practices of other companies or groups of researchers, most likely the company's engineers, Tesla will produce its own unique development. However, this development is another step on the long path of technological progress towards a world in which cars can and will do for themselves everything necessary without human intervention.
P. S. And remember, only by changing their consumption — together we change the world! ©
