Regenerative Braking Will Transfer From Cars to Robots | Michael Sinkula, Morelle

Battery chemistry, UL approval, and the constraint that will not go away. Book Ian for your event → iankhan.com | booking@iankhan.com SUMMARY Michael Sinkula co-founded Morelle. He explains why UL-standard components dominate battery pack design for approval reasons, why solid state will still depend on lithium, and how energy recovery techniques proven in electric vehicles are likely to move into robotics. KEY FINDINGS • UL-standard components dominating battery pack design for approval • The body of the device determining which components can be used • Solid state batteries still depending on lithium • Alternative and more sustainable chemistries viable for stationary storage • Movement consuming the majority of a robot's battery capacity • Regenerative braking recovering energy in electric vehicles • That technology likely transferring into robotics FEATURING Michael Sinkula, Co-Founder & CEO, Morelle FULL TRANSCRIPT iankhan.com/futurist/michael-sinkula-morelle-robot-batteries Recorded at the Humanoids Summit for The Futurist. ──────────────────── ABOUT IAN KHAN — ROBOTICS & AI KEYNOTE SPEAKER Most AI keynotes end with a better understanding. Mine end with a measured readiness score and a ninety-day plan. Your leadership team is assessed before the event, the room sees its own collective result live, and every attendee leaves with a ninety-day plan they helped build. Every year I interview more than 500 senior leaders on camera: scientists, operators, founders, regulators
