The mobile robotic charging station, developed by Rosatom, is currently undergoing pilot testing in Moscow. The project is being conducted in collaboration with the city's Department of Transport at a parking lot near Triumfalnaya Square in the Tverskoy District.
The robot is equipped with a 74.6 kWh energy storage unit and supports DC charging at up to 60 kW. According to the developers, the system can charge an average electric vehicle from 10% to 90% in approximately 30 minutes. The robot returns to its charging module or moves to the next vehicle if its remaining energy is at least 20 kWh.
Currently, the robot is operated remotely by a service engineer, but developers plan to transition it to fully autonomous operation. Users will be able to summon the station via the Metro Moskvy mobile application.
For navigation, the robot utilizes digital maps, computer vision, a stereo camera, a lidar, and an inertial system. The developers have implemented a proprietary Rosatom technology for stable communication, eliminating reliance on GPS.
Urban testing is scheduled to continue until the end of 2026. In 2027, the company aims to finalize the device's development, complete the certification process, and prepare the unit for mass production.
