Systems and methods for providing wireless power to a power-receiving device, and related power-receiving devices

A method, comprising:

• at a routing module, receiving input about one or more characteristics associated with a power-receiving device in need of power;
• with at least one processor of the routing module, determining a route along which the power-receiving device can receive power wirelessly responsive to the receiving the input;
• and
• with at least one power delivery subsystem operably coupled to the routing module, selectively directing one or more wireless power transmitters to,
• provide power to the power-receiving device responsive to a signal from the power delivery subsystem;
• and
• output the power with at least one of a timing or a direction effective to provide the power while the power-receiving device moves along the route.

A method, comprising:

• sending information about one or more characteristics associated with a power-receiving device in need of power;
• responsive to the sending the information, at the power-receiving device, receiving route information about a route along which the power-receiving device can receive the power wirelessly;
• and
• receiving wirelessly provided power from one or more wireless power transmitters while the power-receiving device is traveling along the route, the wirelessly provided power selectively provided based at least partially upon a request for power from the power-receiving device.

A method of distributing wireless power, comprising:

• wirelessly receiving data about a route along which a power-receiving device can travel to receive power wirelessly;
• wirelessly sending a request for delivery of the power to one or more locations along the route that the power-receiving device is to travel;
• and
• responsive to the sending the request, wirelessly receiving at least a portion of the power at the power-receiving device at the one or more locations along the route.
