About
I am interested in joining a consortium preparing a proposal for HORIZON-CL5-2026-10-D2-03:
Integrated Production and Product Development for Next-Generation Lithium-based Batteries for Mobility (BAT4EU & Made in Europe Partnerships).
This call focuses on scaling-up next-generation lithium-based batteries (Gen3, semi-solid, all-solid-state) through automated production, system integration, and advanced cell/module/packs design. The aim is to strengthen the EU battery value chain by developing efficient, high-autonomy production processes that integrate robotics and automation.
With over 7 years of experience in robotic automation, testing, and sorting of EV batteries, I bring expertise in:
-
AI-driven robotics for cell handling, sorting, and automated disassembly of battery materials,
-
Flexible and adaptive robot systems designed for scalable, high-performance manufacturing lines,
-
Vision-guided manipulation and intelligent control systems for precise assembly and integration in unstructured environments,
-
Digital twins for real-time monitoring and optimization of production workflows and robotic systems in battery production.
By integrating intelligent robotic solutions for sorting and assembling next-generation battery components, I can directly contribute to developing a flexible, high-efficiency production system that aligns with the call’s focus on innovative manufacturing equipment and automation.
