IT Home reported on November 9 that South Korean media outlet The Elec recently reported that Samsung SDI will supply batteries for Atlas, a humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, a robotics subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group.
Although LG Energy Solution has also been selected as a supplier, limited production capacity means Samsung SDI is expected to handle almost all initial shipments and remain the sole supplier for some time.
Meanwhile, Atlas is planned to enter mass production in 2028 or later, and Hyundai Motor has assigned Atlas-related operations to its auto parts subsidiary Hyundai Mobis (IT Home note: Hyundai Mobis). The robot will use 70 cylindrical 2170 battery cells, each 21 millimeters in diameter and 70 millimeters tall. Each cell has a capacity of 5000mAh, giving the assembled battery pack a total capacity of about 1.3kWh.
