Abstract: Docking and recharging system for a autonomous mobile robot must guarantee the ability to perform its tasks continuously without human intervention. In this work we present a system for autonomous recharge of the batteries of Fire Bird V robot. To find the presence of an obstacle sharp sensors and IR Proximity sensors are used. To follow the path Fire Bird V robot use black line sensors. The robot uses black line follower path on a white surface. To monitor the battery voltage level, battery sensor which is already present in ATmega 2560 is used. It senses the line and monitor the robot to stay on path, while constantly correcting wrong moves. On the way to its destination if it finds any obstacle ,the sharp sensor or the IR proximity sensor will sense the obstacle and make the beep sound. When there is no obstacle the robot continues its journey. During its journey if its battery gets drained below the threshold value , then it has to go to the nearby power station and charge the battery with the help of wireless power transmission module the robot charges itself.
