Amprius Technologies Partners with AIBOT for Next-Gen Electric Aviation

Amprius Technologies, a leader in advanced silicon anode lithium-ion batteries, has been chosen by AIBOT, a company specializing in both crewed and uncrewed Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, to serve as its primary battery supplier.

This collaboration highlights the dedication of both organizations to pioneering advancements and promoting sustainability within the electric aviation sector.

Amprius’ sicore™ battery cells, celebrated for their remarkable energy density, performance, and dependability, will be integral to powering AIBOT’s aiEVTOL ecosystem. This ecosystem includes a heavy-lift air cargo eVTOL drone and a six-passenger air taxi designed for single-pilot operation.

“AIBOT’s commitment to developing state-of-the-art autonomous electric aircraft solutions resonates with our mission to advance battery technology,” stated Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius. “we commend their phased approach to validating their autonomous aircraft, which will expedite their market entry. Our SiCore batteries deliver unparalleled performance in electric mobility, and we are optimistic that our technology will assist AIBOT in realizing their vision of a connected, autonomous, and ultra-safe aircraft ecosystem.”

utilizing artificial intelligence alongside innovative battery solutions, AIBOT’s comprehensive suite of AI-driven electric mobility options includes Urban Air Mobility, unmanned Aerial Systems, and Electric vehicles.

“Our goal with the aiEVTOL ecosystem is to establish a robust platform that not only supports our commercialization efforts but also enhances production capabilities, thereby invigorating the supply chain and making a significant impact on the industry,” remarked Max Ma, President of AIBOT.“This initiative transcends merely leveraging advanced technologies; it aims to foster an surroundings where innovation translates into real-world advancements in commercialization and supply chain evolution. This partnership marks a pivotal advancement in our dedication to delivering a revolutionary and enduring aiEVTOL ecosystem. Together,we are ushering in an era where AI-enhanced flight becomes a commonplace and enjoyable experience.”

The SiCore cells are anticipated to provide optimal power and reliability for critical operations. AIBOT’s aiEVTOL drone, engineered for remotely piloted heavy-lift air cargo missions, is projected to debut by the end of 2024.
