Abstract
According to various embodiments, systems and methods for wirelessly transmitting energy to a moving wireless power receiver in a network of interlinked prescribed paths. A position of a wireless power receiver in a network of interlinked prescribed paths is tracked as the wireless power receiver traverses one or more prescribed paths in the network of interlinked prescribed paths. Energy is wirelessly transmitted from one or more wireless power transmitters to the wireless power receiver based on the position of the wireless power receiver in the network of interlinked prescribed paths. Specifically, the energy is wirelessly transmitted to the wireless power receiver based on the position of the wireless power receiver in the network of interlinked prescribed paths as the wireless power receiver traverses the one or more prescribed paths in the network of interlinked prescribed paths.
