Nyobolt powers Symbotic warehouse robots with ultra-fast, high-capacity batteries

Nyobolt, a Cambridge-based battery technology company, has partnered with Symbotic to supply high-power, ultra-fast charging batteries for Symbotic's warehouse robots in the U.S. These batteries offer six times more energy capacity and are 40% lighter than the ultracapacitors currently used, enabling robots to operate longer and with greater efficiency. Nyobolt's technology also boasts a cycle life at least ten times longer than traditional lithium-ion batteries, significantly improving durability and reducing downtime in 24/7 warehouse operations. Symbotic's CTO, James Kuffner, highlighted that this advancement will push beyond current technology limits, making the robots smarter, more durable, and more productive. The collaboration is expected to enhance the flexibility, speed, and efficiency of warehouse automation systems and can be retrofitted into existing Symbotic systems. This deal marks a strategic shift for Nyobolt, moving from electric vehicle batteries toward supply chain robotics, potentially transforming its business trajectory.
