The aim is to construct a optimization charging for lead- acid batteries in the robotic vehicle by means of tracked solar panels. The proposed system is testing on the vanter robotic platform - the autonomous unmanned exploration vehicle is specialized in recognition. On the one hand, it presents the construction of a solar tracking mechanism aimed at increasing the rover’s power regardless of its mobility and another proposes an alternative design of power system performance based on a pack of two batteries. There are, one for charging a battery independently from the tracked solar panel and the other battery provides all the energy consumed by the robotic vehicle. By implementing this method, the efficient power management becomes possible. The switching time between the batteries can also be reduced by using matlab coding. The main attraction is to design the concept of the charging and discharging cycles of the batteries. The sensors attached to the battery system will monitor the battery’s external parameters and thus the life time of battery can be increased based on the sensors readings. The results are verifying using matlab/simulink environment.
