The charging station requires a 220V power supply and its external power supply
wire is 1.5m in length. So it's better that there is a power port on the wall for the
charging station (the power board is not recommended since it may cause danger
due to massy wires).
The ground in front of the charging station should meet the following
requirements:
a. Open. There are no obstacles in front of the charging station (with the
charging station as the center and within a radius of 2 meters from the
center).
b. Level. There is no slope on the ground.
c. There is no soft carpet on the ground which leads Apollo sinking into it
more that 2cm.
Please always launch Apollo from the charging station to ensure that it can
recharge itself properly.
Note: if the charging station is moved to a different place when using Apollo, user
should reset the position accordingly when loading the map. Please refer to the
detailed interfaces description in our SDK document.

power supply with the power cable.
Automatic Charging
If using Apollo for the first time, please press the brake release button after the

the charging station breathes green, indicating Apollo is in charging status. Once
Apollo is fully charged, the indicator is turns into steady green.
The Apollo robot base supports automatic recharging function. When the upper
side system is developed and the automatic recharging interface is successfully

start charging automatically.
