As fleets of mobile robots grow, their energy demands are outpacing conventional battery technology. Nyobolt this week said it has raised $60 million in funding to accelerate its development pipeline. With a valuation of over $1 billion, the company said it is bringing bring its power performance systems to the autonomous machines that need them most.
The funding follows a period of rapid commercial momentum. Nyobolt reported that its revenues grew fivefold year-on-year, reflecting an accelerating surge in demand across physical AI applications and AI data center infrastructure.
“Nyobolt is enabling the always-on, always-moving infrastructure that physical AI demands,” said Sai Shivareddy, co-founder and CEO. “The enterprises deploying autonomous systems at scale can’t afford downtime, swap time, or power flickers. Our technology delivers a powerful trifecta: improved performance, exceptional durability, and a more sustainable operation, enabling a new generation of machines to run harder and smarter.”
The Cambridge, U.K.-based company said it has designed its fast-charging battery technology to support autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) as they move from factory floors and warehouses to hospitals and city streets, where downtime is not an option and performance cannot be compromised.
Symbotic, a leader in AI-enabled robotics technology for the supply chain, led the Cambridge, U.K.-based company‘s investment round. It included participation from IQ Capital, Latitude (Phoenix Court), Scania Invest, and CBMM.

Nyobolt touts performance boost
Nyobolt asserted that its commercial traction spans some of the most advanced robotics deployments in the world.
For Symbotic’s SymBot AMRs, Nyobolt said its battery delivers six times more energy capacity than the ultracapacitors previously used and is 40% lighter. It achieves at least 10 times the cycle life of traditional lithium-ion technology, enabling continuous, high-intensity 24/7 operations across Symbotic’s warehouse deployments.
“We’re proud to partner with Nyobolt and invest in the next phase of their growth,” stated Bill Boyd, chief strategy officer at Symbotic. “Nyobolt’s proven technology is a key enabler of enhanced uptime and efficiency for our customers, and we’re excited about the overall market potential of a new instant power infrastructure across multiple applications.”
Batteries designed to support physical AI
The rise of physical AI, robots, AMRs, industrial automation platforms, and AI-enabled machinery is creating an urgent energy challenge, noted Nyobolt.
Unlike data center workloads, physical AI systems operate in dynamic, unpredictable environments, placing extreme and variable demands on their power sources. Traditional battery technology was not designed for this type of environment, the company said.
Nyobolt claimed that its proprietary tech stack addresses the core limitations holding back today’s autonomous systems. They enable the always-on performance that the next generation of physical AI applications requires, it said.
In addition, Nyobolt is expanding its footprint into India, signing a memorandum of understanding with the state of Rajasthan to deploy more than 100MW of off-grid AI data centers and power management infrastructure. The partnership marks the first of what Nyobolt said it expects to be a broader presence across multiple Indian states, with a particular focus on renewable energy integration and grid-independent energy storage.
Nyobolt is also expanding its commercial traction to other robotics companies and applications. This includes a leading developer to increase work-to-charge ratios for its humanoid robots.
