On Thursday, the company announced a concept for a mobile charging robot that comes to electric cars and charges them on its own.
The robot would be able to communicate with the car, open the charging socket flap and plug in with no human interaction. It's fitted with cameras, laser scanners and ultrasonic sensor, which would allow it to move freely and go around obstacles.

When the charging is complete, the robot would collect the battery and take it back to a base charging station.

There's no launch date for the robot, which is currently at prototype stage.
