Laser power beaming wirelessly electrifies robot for 24 hours, setting world records
Source: reneweconomy.com.au · May 29, 2026
Summary
Aquila Earth achieved a world-first by wirelessly powering a moving warehouse robot for 24 hours using infrared laser beams, setting records for highest total laser power transferred and longest continuous duration. This demonstration validates power-beaming as a viable solution for continuous autonomous operations, potentially eliminating battery downtime in logistics and other industries.
