What WiBotic does
WiBotic Inc. is a Seattle-based private company that designs and sells wireless power systems for autonomous robots, drones, marine vehicles, and select adjacent devices. Its core technology uses magnetic resonance at 6.78 MHz combined with proprietary adaptive antenna tuning to deliver full power across a 5cm air gap and up to 10cm of side-to-side offset, addressing the alignment-tolerance gap that conventional inductive charging leaves unsolved for mobile robots. The product portfolio spans transmitters (TR-1000, TR-302, TR-302 Edge), onboard chargers ranging from 150W to 1kW (OC-150 through OC-1000), antenna coils, and specialized platforms including the PowerPad Pro for autonomous UAV charging and data transfer. Software includes the Commander fleet energy management SaaS and a browser-based Control Panel, both exposed through OpenAPI 3 REST APIs, with ROS drivers and NVIDIA Jetson compatibility for integration into third-party robot stacks.
WiBotic generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of transmitters, onboard chargers, and antennas priced on a quote basis, supplemented by subscription/recurring software revenue from Commander SaaS and Control Panel access, professional services for custom integration, and partner-branded kits sold via OEM relationships. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales with a channel partner network (Gtt NetCorp for Mexico/Latin America, Nabtesco for Japan) and private-label OEM agreements with Clearpath Robotics (Jackal/Husky UGVs), Ubiquity Robotics (Magni), BlueHalo (defense UAVs), and Valmont Industries (utility UAV inspection). Customers span warehouse automation, manufacturing AMR fleets, commercial and defense UAV operators, healthcare (TagCarts), micromobility (re:Charge-e), energy/utilities (Hydro Ottawa), and space (NASA Tipping Point partnership with Astrobotic for lunar rovers). The company has secured industry-first FCC approval for high-power wireless charging, CE Marks, and Giteki certification for global deployment of its 1kW system, and has raised approximately $8.2 million across a 2017 seed round and a 2020 Series A.

WiBotic competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- EnerSys: Global leader in industrial batteries and charging solutions for forklifts, AGVs, and motive power applications. Comparable to WiBotic as a charging infrastructure provider to industrial fleets, but operates at much larger scale across multiple chemistries and contact-based technologies.
- Delta-Q Technologies: Manufacturer of industrial battery chargers for electric forklifts, floor care machines, aerial work platforms, and mobile robots. Overlaps with WiBotic in onboard and stationary industrial charging for AMRs/AGVs, though Delta-Q focuses on contact-based charging rather than wireless.
- DAIHEN Corporation: Japanese power electronics and industrial equipment manufacturer with wireless power transfer products for AGVs and material handling. Comparable in targeting AMR/AGV wireless charging through resonant technology and is a relevant regional player in the Japanese market where WiBotic partners with Nabtesco.
Direct peers
- InductEV (formerly Momentum Dynamics): Developer of high-power wireless charging systems for electric vehicles, with installations in commercial fleets and transit. Closest direct peer to WiBotic in applying resonant magnetic wireless power transfer at kilowatt scale to fleet vehicle/robot charging.
- WAVE (Wireless Advanced Vehicle Electrification): Provider of wireless inductive charging for medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles including transit buses and yard trucks. Directly comparable to WiBotic's wireless power transfer technology applied to fleet mobility use cases.
- HEVO Power: Wireless EV charging startup focused on autonomous charging for fleet vehicles, with resonance-based technology targeting similar applications to WiBotic. Direct peer in wireless fleet charging infrastructure.
Emerging players
- Powermat Technologies: Wireless charging solution provider with inductive and resonant technology for industrial, robotics, and consumer applications. Comparable technology base to WiBotic but historically focused on consumer electronics and retail, increasingly pivoting toward industrial/robotics.
- Mojo Mobility: Developer of resonant wireless power technology for high-power applications including industrial robots, EVs, and drones. Comparable to WiBotic in the underlying wireless power transfer methodology and target applications in robotics.
Others
- Clearpath Robotics: Manufacturer of unmanned ground vehicles (Jackal, Husky) that integrates WiBotic wireless charging as both an OEM customer and partner. Closely tied commercially but is a robotics OEM rather than a charging competitor, providing the distribution channel through which WiBotic reaches UGV end users.
- Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR): Leading AMR manufacturer serving warehouse and logistics automation, with installed fleets that are an addressable end market for WiBotic charging solutions. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct charging competitor, but its fleet growth drives demand for interoperable charging like WiBotic's.
