In an implementation, a robotic system includes a robot, a power source exchange station, and a controller. A method of operation of the robotic system includes identifying by the controller a low-power condition of the robot, and, in response to the identifying of a low-power condition, causing by the controller the robot and the power source exchange station to exchange a first primary electrical power source from the robot for a second primary electrical power source from the power source exchange station. The first and the second primary electrical power source may be a first and a second primary battery, respectively. The robotic system may engage a secondary power source operable to maintain a power supply to the robot during the exchange. The secondary power source may be a secondary battery on-board the robot.
