Problem
The current rate of lithium-ion electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling is low, with less than 5% of batteries being recovered and repurposed. This inefficiency leads to the loss of critical metals and hinders the development of a circular economy for clean energy solutions. The manual disassembly of these batteries is also dangerous and challenging.
Solution
Rose City Robotics develops autonomous robotic systems that safely and efficiently disassemble lithium-ion EV batteries. By leveraging machine learning and sensor data, the company's technology enables adaptive motion planning for robots, increasing battery recovery rates to over 90%. This approach ensures that critical metals are recycled and repurposed for future clean energy solutions, promoting a circular economy and reducing reliance on raw material extraction. The company also offers general robotics systems integration and develops custom solutions to solve complex automation challenges.
