Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides mechanisms for a hands-free, autonomous electrical connection of an electric charger to an electric vehicle (EV), and subsequent charging. The disclosed framework utilizes an automated connection device (ACD) as an intermediary between the charger and the EV. The ACD is configured for automatically determining a precise location of the charging inlet on the EV and then automatically establishing an electrical connection with the EV so that the EV can receive a charge. The ACD performs the disclosed precise positional and directional navigation to the EV inlet based on deep neural network analysis of captured imagery of the inlet. In some embodiments, the images can be modified so as to highlight and/or assist the ACD's navigation towards to the inlet in order to maximize invariance.

Abstract: A plug connection system that autonomously charges an electric vehicle (EV) is provided. The method includes: obtaining a trained machine learning (ML) model from a back-end server; capturing an image using an image capturing device of the charging system, wherein a portion of the image comprises the EV charging portal; inputting the image into the trained ML model to determine one or more regions of interest associated with the EV charging portal within the image; determining a location of the EV charging portal based on the one or more determined regions of interest and one or more image processing techniques; and providing information to maneuver the robotic arm of the charging system to a physical position based on the determined location of the EV charging portal.

Abstract: Electrically resistive devices, such as voltage dividers, and methods of making the same are disclosed. An illustrative voltage divider may include a substrate having an axis, an electrically resistive path applied to the substrate, and at least one terminal positioned around the substrate and in contact with the electrically resistive path. The electrically resistive path may include a primary resistor and a secondary resistor, with the primary resistor having a higher electrical resistance than the secondary resistor. An adjustable displacement of the at least one terminal along the axis of the substrate may allow adjustment of at least one electrical resistance associated with the at least one terminal. An adjustable tightness of the at least one terminal around the substrate may allow adjustment of the at least one electrical resistance associated with the at least one terminal.
