Quadrupedal robots such as ANYmal are capable of taking on challenging tasks, mapping their environment, and staying out of trouble. They will require a power source for longer missions though. Robotic Systems Lab has shared a video that explores an autonomous docking station for recharging these robots.

Life Extension: An Autonomous Docking Station for Recharging Quadrupedal Robots
As the researchers explain, the position of the docking station is mapped after deployment. The robot approaches the station using a free-gait maneuver. Guiding brackets are used to avoid misalignment errors.
