The robot doesn’t have a name yet, so Volkswagen just refers to it as the « mobile charging robot, » which is practical enough, we suppose.
The robot doesn’t have a name yet, so Volkswagen just refers to it as the « mobile charging robot, » which is practical enough, we suppose. It’s a large, tower-shaped bot with two chibi-style eyes emblazoned on its front-facing screen. The robot is designed to be used in « restricted parking areas, » like underground car parks or above-ground parking garages. When deployed in such an area, the bot will travel to a vehicle, open up its « charging socket flap, » and then connect its charging plug.
