A robot with rechargeable and interchangeable batteries. The robot includes a body coupled to a wheel assembly, the wheel assembly including a plurality of wheels and a drive mechanism arranged to move the body along a first set of parallel rails extending in a first direction and a second set of parallel rails extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The body has a chassis defining a first battery compartment and a second battery compartments with a first battery module disposed within the first battery compartment. When the chassis engages with a charging station, the chassis is arranged to release the first battery module from the first battery compartment and receive a second battery module within the second battery compartment. The robot is thus designed to simultaneously swap a depleted first battery module with a charged second battery module and quickly return to operation.
