AUXILIARY POWER FOR MICROROBOT FACTORY

A system for wirelessly powering a micro-robot platform is disclosed herein. The system is comprised of a micro-robot platform and one or more wireless charging zones, wherein the micro-robot platform is configured to levitate over the one or more wireless charging zones. The micro-robot platform is further comprised of a micro-robot, a plurality of printed circuit board (PCB) layers arranged in a “stack-up” structure, a magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) stack, a wireless power stack, and a microcontroller unit (MCU). The micro-robot platform may be charged wirelessly using inductive charging, wherein magnetically coupled inductive loop coils transfer power from the wireless charging zone to the micro-robot platform. The transferred power is then directed to the various PCB layers using a demultiplexer for power storage, MAGLEV, and peripheral processes according to the MCU's programming.
