The Core Idea We are building the "USB-C of Robotics"—the world’s first universal, autonomous battery-swapping infrastructure for last-mile delivery fleets. Our project solves the "Autonomy Lie": the fact that even the most advanced robots today still rely on human teams to manually plug them in or swap their batteries. By replacing slow charging and human labor with 60-second robotic swaps, we enable robot fleets to achieve 100% uptime and 24/7 operation without a single human touch. The ABX "Nesting" Station Our solution is a modular, sidewalk-friendly "Vending Machine" for batteries. It uses a three-part system to automate the energy cycle: The Universal Sleeve: A low-cost mechanical adapter that fits onto a robot's existing battery. This "sleeve" standardizes the grabbing point, making our stations compatible with different robot brands (Kiwibot, Starship, Unitree). The Autonomous Swap-Station: A rugged, IoT-connected pod that holds 6–10 batteries. When a robot docks, an internal mechanical actuator extracts the depleted battery and slides in a fresh, 100% charged one in under a minute. The Energy Orchestration Layer (Software): An API that connects to the robot’s ROS (Robot Operating System). It predicts when a robot will run low and "reservations" a battery at the nearest station along its route, completely eliminating deadhead miles.
