Vehicle charging system

1. A charge system comprising:

a base;

a platform including a projecting plug;

at least three interlinked legs of fixed same length mechanically biased to maintain the projecting plug to be perpendicular to the base; and

first and second sets of articulating joints respectively connecting opposite ends of the legs with the platform and base such that, responsive to a force on the plug, the legs tilt while remaining parallel to each other and the platform remains parallel with the base.

2. The charge system of claim 1 , wherein the projecting plug is coupled with the platform via a twisting joint such that the projecting plug can rotate about a central axis of the plug.

3. The charge system of claim 2 , wherein the projecting plug includes a guide pin that is configured to cooperate with a receptacle that includes a tapered surface and slot, such that a rotation occurs between the plug and receptacle until the plug and receptacle are aligned, after which the receptacle is configured to accept the plug inserted to a depth as determined by a length of the slot.

4. The charge system of claim 2 , wherein the twisting joint is a wrist joint.

5. The charge system of claim 1 , wherein the at least three interlinked legs form a parallel manipulator.

6. The charge system of claim 5 , wherein the parallel manipulator is a parallelogram linkage that is configured to maintain the platform parallel with a base of the manipulator.

7. The charge system of claim 5 , wherein the parallel manipulator is a 3-dimensional parallelogram linkage.

8. The charge system of claim 1 , wherein the at least three interlinked legs form a Gough-Stewart platform.

9. The charge system of claim 1 further including an actuator coupled with the base.
