10. A computer system for facilitating charging of an electronic device, the computer system comprising:
a memory; and
a processing circuit in communication with the memory, wherein the computer system is configured to perform a method, the method comprising:
identifying presence of multiple electronic devices within an environment, the multiple electronic devices including a self-propelled power relay device with wireless charging capability;
determining that an electronic device of the multiple electronic devices requires wireless charging;
determining that the self-propelled power relay device is not currently required to perform an activity; and
based on the determining that the electronic device requires wireless charging and based on the determining that the self-propelled relay device is not currently required to perform the activity, deploying the self-propelled power relay device to move to an area of the environment within a charging range of the electronic device to facilitate wireless charging of the electronic device via the self-propelled power relay device.
