Abstract: The concept of using a robot as a heavy vehicle electric transport highway with a pantograph mechanism involves a system where a robot equipped with a pantograph mechanism draws power from overhead power lines to propel heavy vehicles along a highway. This system has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease the reliance on fossil fuel-powered vehicles for transportation. However, several challenges, such as designing a durable and robust pantograph mechanism and developing the required infrastructure, need to be overcome for this concept to become a viable solution. In this concept, the robot would essentially act as a mobile charging station, using the pantograph mechanism to make contact with the overhead power lines and draw electricity to power the heavy vehicle. This type of system would be particularly useful for transporting goods over long distances, as it would eliminate the need for heavy vehicles to rely on internal combustion engines, which can be both inefficient and environmentally harmful. One of the advantages of using a robot as a heavy vehicle electric transport highway is that it could potentially be more cost-effective and environmentally sustainable than traditional modes of transportation. However, this system would require significant investment in infrastructure, including the installation of overhead power lines and the development of charging stations for the robots
