Can't park at an electric charging station? Volkswagen is working on an autonomous robot to juice your battery

Wouldn't it be convenient if robots could charge your electric vehicle so that you don't have to? Volkswagen recently showed the world its dreamed-up future where robots with digital faces roam around parking garages to charge EVs using traveling battery packs. The autonomous robot would find your car, attach a charger to it and then move on to other vehicles while your battery juices up. The seemingly random unveil was meant to provide "a glimpse into the future in which the search for charging stations" comes to an end, VW said. The German automaker envisions you summoning the robot via an app.
