Abstract: Aspects described herein include an apparatus for charging an autonomous ground vehicle (AGV). The apparatus includes a plurality of first electrical contacts coupled to a power supply and that project upwardly from a base, and a plurality of receiver sections dimensioned to retain portions of a plurality of axially-aligned wheels of the AGV. The first electrical contacts are arranged relative to the plurality of receiver sections such that when the axially-aligned wheels roll into the plurality of receiver sections, second electrical contacts of the AGV are contacted to the first electrical contacts. After a plurality of the second electrical contacts are contacted with power contacts of the first electrical contacts, at least one other of the second electrical contacts is contacted with a control contact of the first electrical contacts to enable power delivery to the AGV through the power contacts.
