The ROCIN-ECO research project reached an important milestoneA consortium consisting of industry-leading brands IONITY, Audi, TÜV SÜD and the affiliated partners Porsche, BMW, Ford, Marquardt, ROCSYS, AVL, and HUBER+SUHNER forms the ROCIN-ECO research project. Our collective aim is to develop and demonstrate an interoperable, standardized, and automated charging solution using robotic technology. In July 2023, we reached an important milestone we would like to share with charging enthusiasts and the industry. Whether autonomously driving cars, automated valet parking, or last mile delivery vehicles – automated driving will also need intelligent, robotic charging solutions. In the meantime, we also see the benefits of robotic charging, for example in downtown garages characterized by limited space.
