Samsung SDI will participate in “InterBattery 2026,” the nation’s largest battery exhibition, to be held at COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, from the 11th to the 13th, and will unveil solid-state battery samples for physical artificial intelligence (AI). On the 9th, Samsung SDI stated that it “plans to unveil for the first time a pouch-type solid-state battery currently under development exclusively for physical AI.”

Robots must be equipped with batteries that can operate for long periods in a much smaller space compared with electric vehicles. In addition, because power surges briefly every time they move, the batteries must also have strong output performance. Samsung SDI is developing solid-state batteries for robots that use solid electrolytes, providing enhanced safety and high energy density. Samsung SDI explained that “the goal is mass production in the second half of 2027.”

From the LS Group, seven affiliates, including LS MnM, LG Materials, and LG Alsco, will take part in InterBattery 2026. Under the theme “From the beginning to the end of the battery industry, LS is with you,” LS Group plans to showcase the group’s technological capabilities across the entire battery value chain, from battery materials to energy storage system (ESS) platforms.

According to the Korea Battery Industry Association, this year’s InterBattery will feature 667 companies from 14 countries operating a total of 2,382 booths. Of these, 182 companies are overseas firms from countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, China, and Japan. Seminars by related domestic and overseas organizations will also be held to support Korean companies in expanding international exchanges and entering global markets.
