Amprius Selected to Power AIBOT’s aiEVTOL Ecosystem
U.S‑based, Amprius Technologies, a leader in next-generation lithium-ion batteries, announced this week it has been selected by AIBOT, a developer of eVTOL aircraft solutions for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), to be its battery partner, reports a press release.
Amprius’ SiCore cells, which are known for their high energy density, power and reliability, will play an important role in powering AIBOT’s aiEVTOL ecosystem, which includes both its heavy-lift air cargo eVTOL drone and single-pilot, six-passenger eVTOL air taxi aircraft. The cells are expected to ensure maximum power and reliability for mission-critical operations.
AIBOT’s aiEVTOL drone, designed for remotely piloted heavy-lift air cargo missions, is expected to be introduced by the end of this year.
Dr. Kang Sun, CEO of Amprius, commented, “AIBOT’s focus on developing cutting-edge autonomous electric aircraft solutions aligns with our commitment to pushing the boundaries of battery technology. Our SiCore batteries offer unmatched performance in electric mobility, and we are confident that our technology can help AIBOT achieve their goal of creating a connected, autonomous, and ultra-safe aircraft ecosystem.”

By using the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cutting-edge battery technology, AIBOT’s suite of AI-driven electric mobility solutions encompasses Urban Air Mobility, Unmanned Aerial Systems and Electric Vehicles. With plans to unveil its first commercialised pre-production unmanned aircraft in 2024 and bring a single-pilot, six-passenger eVTOL manned aircraft to market in the following years, AIBOT is committed to shaping the future of electric aviation.
Max Ma, President of AIBOT, remarked, “This endeavour is not just about harnessing advanced technologies, it’s about creating an environment where innovation leads to tangible advancements in commercialisation and supply chain development.”
He continued, “This collaboration is a vital step forward in our commitment to delivering an aiEVTOL ecosystem that is revolutionary and sustainable. Together, we are paving the way for an era where AI-enhanced flying is not just a possibility, but a common enjoyable reality.”
Background
Amprius Technologies SiMaxxTM batteries deliver up to 450 Wh/kg and 1,150 Wh/L, with third-party validation of 500Wh/kg and 1,300 Wh/L. To serve customer demand, Amprius entered into a lease agreement for an approximately 774,000-square-foot facility in Brighton, Colorado, and expanded its product portfolio to include the SiCoreTM platform.
