SwappBot

説明

SwappBotはSwapp DesignのIndustrial-Robotです。 重量物ハンドリング、リフティング、ナビゲーション向けに設計されています。

SwappBot is an autonomous mobile robot from Swapp Design that exchanges the battery of a commercial electric vehicle while the driver stays in the cab. It is the moving part of Swapp's battery-swap station: instead of a pit or underground lifting equipment, the station has a flat floor and the robot does the alignment and lifting itself. A swap runs in three steps. The driver pulls up to the station at any angle without lining up; SwappBot slides under the vehicle, aligns itself to it however it is parked and swaps in a charged battery; the system then runs a full check and a signal turns green so the driver can leave. Swapp OS, the company's scheduling software, chooses which SwappBot to dispatch using grid, battery-health and arrival data, so several vehicles can be served at once. The company states a swap time of about one minute and a throughput of more than 10 vehicles per hour per station, and claims station capital cost about 25 times lower than global peers, batteries about three times smaller and operating cost per kilometre at least 25% lower. The latest public demonstration listed on the site took place at the company's Innovation Studio in Bengaluru in August 2026, with a light truck.
