$SLDP Samsung SDI explained that while automakers' electrification plans seem to be facing delays, the robotics market is experiencing rapid growth due to the application of physical AI technology. This has led to increased demand for solid-state batteries in robots, which require high-density energy storage in limited spaces.
He added that Samsung SDI aims to cater to new high-energy-density business opportunities, such as urban air mobility (UAM) for transporting people or cargo using small electric aircraft in cities, and high-altitude platform stations that provide communication and observation during extended flights.
Regarding solid-state batteries for electric vehicles, Park noted that the company has made tangible progress, including signing an MOU with BMW last October to develop test vehicles. He emphasized that all solid-state batteries will be prepared for commercialization according to the planned schedule.
