Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing wireless power. The method includes determining a route in an area for a charger vehicle, where the charger vehicle includes a primary wireless power transceiver. The method further includes determining a schedule according to which the charger vehicle travels along the route. The method also includes determining a number of repeater vehicles to deploy in the area to extend a range of the primary transceiver of the charger vehicle. Further, the method includes deploying the determined number of repeater vehicles into the area. Furthermore, the method includes coupling each of the repeater vehicles to the charger vehicle via a respective first wireless resonant coupling link.
