電池已被廣泛應用於日常生活中的各層面之上，因此如何掌控電池實際的運轉狀態，實為一門相當重要且具實務的研究課題。本論文主要研製一個輔以電池殘量監控之充電站，透過精確的電池殘量估測方法，並搭配人機操作介面，來針對電池的各種參數做即時的監控。另外當電池因電量快耗盡，返回充電站附近時，能藉由充電站發射三種不同紅外線編碼訊號來導引機器人進入充電站，而充電站的設計主要是以旋轉機構平台來輔助車體接觸充電站來進行充電的動作，充電站上的充電電路模組則是以降壓式轉換器硬體架構和混合式充電方法來完成電池的充電動作。
實驗結果顯示在電池輸出容量方面，由本文所提出的電池殘量估測方法，可以準確的預估電池的殘電量，以及在自動充電定位方面也能夠順利藉由紅外線導引機器人返回充電站執行充電動作。

The batteries have been widely used in the daily lives. Therefore, the status of batteries is very important for users. A supplemented remaining battery level monitoring of the charging station is implemented and developed in the thesis. Using an accurate remaining battery level estimation method and man-machine interface, user can be real-time monitoring the battery. The robot needs to return to the nearby charging station while its power closes to exhaustion. The charging station emits three different infrared encoded signals to guide the robot into the station. The charging station is designed mainly as a rotating mechanism for assisting the vehicle platform to the contact the station for charging operation. The charging circuit module is based on a buck converter architectures and hybrid battery charging method to complete the charging operation.
A battery residual power estimation method is proposed. Experimental results are shown in terms of output capacity of the battery. This design of the entire system can accurately estimate the charge of the battery and show the position for charging a robot.
