- Hyundai Motor, Kia and Samsung SDI to companion on the event of robot-specific batteries for integration into service robots
- New batteries designed to beat area and capability limitations in robotics, promising efficiency enhancements together with enhanced power density, output and utilization time
- Partnership seeks to stabilize battery provide for robots and improve worth competitiveness by way of market growth
- Joint advertising initiatives deliberate, with know-how showcase at ‘InterBattery 2025’ to focus on development potential in world robotic battery market
Hyundai Motor Firm and Kia Company at this time introduced an settlement to companion with Samsung SDI to develop high-performance batteries particularly for robots, with the intention of accelerating power density, output and utilization time considerably.
The three corporations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for this joint growth at Hyundai Motor Group’s Uiwang Analysis Heart. The occasion was attended by Dong Jin Hyun, Vice President and Head of Robotics LAB at Hyundai Motor and Kia, and Hans Cho, Government Vice President and Head of Strategic Advertising and marketing Staff at Samsung SDI.
“We are going to proceed our endeavors to develop high-performance batteries for robots with Samsung SDI, which has battery manufacturing capabilities. In the long run, we intention to boost battery provide stability for robots and obtain worth competitiveness by way of market growth,” mentioned Dong Jin Hyun, Vice President and Head of Robotics LAB at Hyundai Motor and Kia. “By combining the superior know-how of the Robotics LAB with Samsung SDI’s battery know-how, we anticipate accelerating the event of aggressive robotic merchandise that meet numerous shopper wants.”
“We’re increasing our collaboration with Hyundai Motor and Kia within the robotic market,” mentioned Hans Cho, Government Vice President and Head of Strategic Advertising and marketing Staff at Samsung SDI. “Via this collaboration, we are going to introduce differentiated applied sciences and high-quality merchandise within the robotic battery market.”
The collaboration will mix Hyundai Motor, Kia and Samsung SDI’s sources and technical experience to develop batteries optimized for robots and combine them into numerous service robots.
Presently, most sectors within the robotics trade lack devoted batteries, so they’re compelled to make use of these designed for energy instruments or mild electrical automobiles (LEVs). Resulting from robots’ complicated and irregular nature, area for battery set up is proscribed, and utilizing smaller cells reduces output capability.
To beat this problem, the collaboration focuses on creating a high-performance robotic battery optimized for restricted areas whereas enhancing power density to extend output and utilization time.
Underneath the settlement, Hyundai Motor and Kia’s Robotics LAB will consider the appliance and efficiency enhancement of the newly developed battery for robots. They are going to use their amassed technical experience to evaluate most cost and discharge efficiency, utilization time, and qualification life.
Samsung SDI will develop high-capacity supplies to enhance power density and optimize design to boost battery effectivity. That is anticipated to increase battery utilization time and enhance worth competitiveness considerably. Each events plan to work intently to ascertain this joint growth as a mannequin for innovation in robot-specific batteries.
Hyundai Motor and Kia can even interact in joint advertising with Samsung SDI to increase the robotic market. They plan to showcase Hyundai Motor and Kia’s service robotic ‘DAL-e’ and Cell Robotic ‘MobED’, at Samsung SDI’s exhibit at ‘InterBattery 2025,’ March 5–7, in Seoul. They are going to reveal the robots to guests and trade stakeholders, showcasing the expansion potential of the robotic battery market.
Hyundai Motor and Kia’s Robotics LAB launched companies utilizing supply robots, automated electrical car charging robots, and superior facial recognition know-how on the ‘Factorial Seongsu’ constructing in Seoul final June. In November, they introduced commercialization plans for the wearable robotic ‘X-ble Shoulder’ after its unveiling, increasing their product line and main the institution of a ‘Robotics Whole Answer.’
