Powering Robots That Deliver

Vicor offers efficient power delivery for robots designed for home deliveries. Last-mile consumer delivery of groceries, takeout food, and online consumer items is the mission-critical task of these robots. While payloads vary in size and weight, these robots typically have longer run times than the moving class of robots and are typically powered by 48 V to 100 V batteries.

Power delivery network

The DCM converter series fits the needs for this class with operation from 43 V to 154 V input. The DCM3623 enables a regulated 24 V or 48 V distribution from the battery for servo drives, other payloads, and downstream converters. The DCM3623 provides 240 W of power at 90% efficiency from a 36 mm x 23 mm x 7.3 mm package. With a 24 V to 48 V rail established, ZVS buck or buck-boost regulators can typically be used to power lower-voltage rails.
