Enabling the Electric Future of Mobility: Robotic Automation for Electric Vehicle Battery Assembly

Consumer demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) is increasing due to improving performance and affordability. However, EV manufacturers are struggling to meet this rise in demand. A key bottleneck is supply from a nascent EV battery supply chain that is new and developing. In this paper, we propose robo...
