As robots require higher mobility and computing power, demand is increasing for energy density, safety, and lightweighting in power batteries. High-energy-density solid-state batteries are considered a key solution for future robot energy management due to their suitability for miniaturization and weight reduction.
In this collaboration, Joyson Electronics will contribute its automotive-grade battery management system (BMS) technology and data service capabilities. The company already supplies BMS products in volume to global automakers including Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. Utilizing technological synergies, Joyson is transferring its automotive R&D and manufacturing expertise to the robotics sector, having previously launched a thoracic assembly solution that integrates robot controllers with energy management.
