Samsung SDI said Monday it will display a sample of its all-solid-state battery pouch under development for physical artificial intelligence (AI) applications during the three-day InterBattery 2026 trade show starting Wednesday in Seoul.
This will be the first public unveiling of the battery maker’s all-solid-state battery for humanoids and other types of robots.
“Our goal is to show how Samsung SDI’s battery technology can turn the full potential of the AI era into reality,” a Samsung SDI official said. “Building on decades of expertise, we will present premium battery solutions tailored to the evolving needs of AI-driven industries.”
The official added that Samsung SDI will host the largest booth among exhibitors, featuring a comprehensive portfolio of new technologies and products under the slogan “AI thinks, Battery enables.”
Aiming to begin mass production in the second half of next year, Samsung SDI has developed prismatic all-solid-state batteries for electric vehicles (EVs).
To expand the use of its all-solid-state battery technology into robotics, aviation platforms and wearable devices, however, the company decided to diversify its form factors.
Because robots have limited space for batteries, they need compact cells with high energy density and long operating duration. Since they generate sudden power spikes during movement, strong power-output performance is essential.
Samsung SDI said the form factor of the pouch battery style helps reduce the weight of all-solid-state batteries for physical AI while maintaining safety and stable power output.
“We will highlight our global leadership in all-solid-state battery technology through the first display of a pouch-type all-solid-state battery designed for emerging physical AI applications,” the official said.
