SES AI eyes robotics boom with 'vibe research' tool for battery materials

The battery industry is bracing for a paradigm shift as the rise of physical artificial intelligence (AI) boosts demand beyond traditional applications such as electric vehicles (EVs) and energy storage systems (ESS) to include drones, humanoid robots and other robotic systems. The transition forces battery makers to invest more heavily in developing new materials and capabilities for delivering the power output, safety and durability required for next-generation robotics. SES AI, a Boston-based battery firm, believes “vibe research” will be at the center of this new paradigm. The AI-driven approach allows researchers to guide and orchestrate materials discovery through simple prompts, dramatically shortening battery development cycles “from years to weeks” while reducing research costs through the company’s Molecular Universe platform. During an interview with The Korea Times, SES AI founder and CEO Qichao Hu emphasized that the race to produce humanoid robot batteries will be about how quickly companies can discover and commercialize new materials, as humanoid robots are expWeiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
