A robotic refuelling system and method for automatically operating a fuel station for refuelling vehicles includes a first detection unit for identifying the vehicle, a collaborative robot arm, and an adapter tool connected to the collaborative robot arm. The system is configured for detecting and identifying the vehicle, and controlling the collaborative robot arm and the adapter tool to engage at least one fuel dispenser unit of the fuel station and refuel the vehicle.

A system, methods, and apparatus for preventing receptacle overfilling are presented. The system can include a sensor member configured to couple with a receptacle and sense a material level within the receptacle, such as via a sight glass of the receptacle. The system can include a controller in operable communication with the sensor member and configured to instantiate the shutoff of material flow from a material dispensing system if a particular material level is detected by the sensor member. The system can include an intermediate member configured to relay communications between the sensor member and the controller. The intermediate member can be coupled to a fluid line and can further act as a holster for the sensor member, such as by facilitating the coupling of the sensor member to the intermediate member and/or the fluid line.

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for automatically enabling supply of energy to a machine using a movable member comprising a camera and an energy supply mechanism. Techniques include positioning the movable member to a first orientation angle to capture image data using the camera; accessing a trained machine learning model associated with the machine; identifying, based on the trained machine learning model and the captured image data, an energy input location of the machine; positioning the movable member to a second orientation angle different from the first orientation angle; moving the energy supply mechanism into a position according to the energy input location; and enabling supply of energy via the energy supply mechanism to the machine at the energy input location.
