Abstract
According to various embodiments, a moving wireless power receiver is configured to receive power wirelessly based on a prescribed path of the wireless power receiver. A prescribed path that a moving wireless power receiver traverses is identified. Further, at least one element of the wireless power receiver is controlled based on the prescribed path to change an amount of power received at the wireless power receiver from incident power transmitted by one or more wireless power transmitters. Specifically, the at least one element can be controlled to change the amount of power received at the wireless power receiver as either or both a posture and a position of the wireless power receiver change with respect to the one or more wireless power transmitters as the wireless power receiver traverses the prescribed path.
