Abstract
A device includes a first solar cell, a mirror configured to direct light towards a second solar cell of an additional device, and one or more motors configured to adjust an orientation of the mirror. The device actuates the mirror to a first orientation and receive, from the additional device, a first signal associated with a first intensity of the light received by the second solar cell at the first orientation of the mirror. Based at least in part on the first signal, the device actuates the mirror to a second orientation. The device further receives, from the second device, a second signal associated with a second intensity of the light received by the second solar cell at the second orientation of the mirror, and causes, based at least in part on the second signal, the one or more motors to actuate the mirror to a third orientation.
