It relates to a robot management device and its control method that warns to prevent an accident with an object.

Due to global warming and the depletion of fossil fuels, the demand for more eco-friendly vehicles has recently increased, and accordingly, automobile manufacturers in each country are providing a quieter driving environment without emitting air pollutants such as CO ₂ while driving. and also develops and manufactures electric vehicles that are economically advantageous.

The electric vehicle refers to a vehicle using a battery and an electric motor.

At this time, the charging method between the electric vehicle (EV) and EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment: Electric Vehicle Charging Facility) can be largely divided into a charging method using AC (Alternating Current) and a charging method using DC (Directing Current).

For example, the charging method using AC is a method of charging using a generator or commercial AC power (eg, 220VAC), and the charging method using DC is a method of converting AC power using a DC/AC converter and charging.

To charge the electric vehicle, a charging cable (or plug) of the EVSE (ie, electric vehicle charging facility) is connected (or connected) to a charging port (or charging gun inlet) of the electric vehicle (electric vehicle) in the form of a charging gun.

However, since the EVSE (ie, an electric vehicle charging facility) uses high-voltage (or ultra-high-voltage) electricity due to its characteristics, there is always a risk of electric leakage. For example, if you need to hold (or touch) the charging connector part (or the charging gun part) without knowing that rain (or snow) is falling or water (eg snow, rain, dew, etc.) is sprinkled while charging the electric vehicle, the user for short circuit There is a problem of poor safety.
