contents This paper presents a wireless power transfer (WPT) for a mid-sized inspection mobile robot. The objective is to transmit 100 W of power over 1 meter of distance, achieved through lightweight Litz wire coils weighing 320 g held together with a coil structure of 3.54 kg. The Wireless Power Transfer System (WPTS) is mounted onto an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The study addresses an investigation of coil design, accounting for misalignment and tolerance issues in resonance-coupled coils. In experimental validation, the system effectively transmits 109.7 W of power over a 1-meter distance, with obstacles present. This achievement yields a system efficiency of 47.14%, a value that is remarkably close to the maximum power transfer point (50%) when the WPTS utilises the full voltage allowance of the capacitor. The paper shows the WPTS charging speed of 5 minutes for 12 V, 0.8 Ah lead acid batteries.
