Universe Energy - Disassemble EV Batteries with Robots
The world needs 2 billion batteries by 2050, but this comes at a huge cost to the planet, as we need to mine 30x more. We dismantle and sort used battery packs 7x faster and 50% cheaper than by hand using robotics, AI and sound for EV OEMs, battery makers and fleets. Once we dismantle 1000s of battery packs, we repurpose them into grid batteries that are 20% cheaper than making new ones. Our vision is to become the leading maker of zero-impact batteries by building 1 million batteries/year by 2035. This will power a truly clean energy revolution at scale and reduce 6 Giga tons of CO2 by 2050. We are Universe Energy, and we make batteries eternal.

STEP 1
The battery pack is recognized with computer vision from 100s of battery pack variations and its state is assessed. Machine perception recognizes battery types with software that proposes a dismantling sequence.
STEP 2
We dismantle batteries from big packs into small modules. We perform robotic battery dismantling with custom end-effectors from pack to module that is 4x faster and safer to operate and work in sync with human workers.
STEP 3
Modules are discharged from residual energy and they are removed from the battery pack. Residual energy from the battery modules and cells is discharged to the grid to reduce operation costs.
STEP 4
Battery cells are tested for their health, residual lifetime, and economic value and are assessed with non-intrusive methods to decide on remanufacturing and recycling.
STEP 5
Cells are sorted for remanufacturing, repurposing, or recycling. We package batteries in modular grid batteries that can be deployed for grid storage, microgrids, charging stations, and data centers.
