Nyobolt has secured $60 million in Series C funding, reaching a $1 billion valuation as it looks to scale its ultra-fast power technology for robotics, automation and AI infrastructure. The Cambridge, England-based company said the round was led by Symbotic, with participation from IQ Capital, Latitude, Scania Invest and CBMM. The financing follows a period of sharp commercial growth, with Nyobolt reporting a fivefold year-on-year increase in revenue.
Funding Supports High-Demand Power Applications
The new capital will support Nyobolt’s development pipeline and help bring its power performance systems to markets where uninterrupted operation is becoming increasingly critical. Its technology is designed for applications that require rapid charging, high power output and long operating life, particularly in autonomous machines and AI data centers. These sectors are facing rising energy demands as robotics systems and AI workloads become more intensive, mobile and commercially widespread.
Addressing Energy Limits in Robotics
Nyobolt’s announcement comes as autonomous machines expand beyond controlled factory environments into warehouses, hospitals, logistics networks and urban settings. These machines often operate continuously and cannot afford long charging windows, frequent battery swaps or performance interruptions. Conventional battery systems can struggle to meet these requirements, creating a bottleneck for companies deploying automation at scale.
Partnership With Symbotic
Symbotic, a Nasdaq-listed robotics technology company focused on supply chain automation, is both the lead investor and a key commercial partner for Nyobolt. Nyobolt’s batteries are being used in Symbotic’s SymBot autonomous mobile robots, where the company says they provide six times more energy capacity than the ultracapacitors previously used. The batteries are also described as 40% lighter and capable of at least ten times the cycle life of traditional lithium-ion technology, supporting demanding 24/7 warehouse operations.
Growing Role in Physical AI
The rise of physical AI is increasing the need for energy systems that can support machines operating in unpredictable, real-world environments. Robots, autonomous mobile platforms and AI-enabled industrial equipment face variable power demands that differ significantly from the more controlled workloads found in cloud computing environments. Nyobolt says its technology combines proprietary anode materials, advanced cell design and integrated power electronics to deliver fast charging, high power density and extended durability.
Expansion Into Data Centers and India
Beyond robotics, Nyobolt is also targeting AI data centers, where high-performance GPU systems can create sudden and intense power loads. The company argues that legacy backup power and UPS infrastructure were not built for the transient demands created by large-scale AI workloads. As part of this broader push, Nyobolt has signed a memorandum of understanding with the state of Rajasthan in India to support more than 100MW of off-grid AI data centers and power management infrastructure.
Strategic Market Position
Nyobolt’s expansion reflects a wider shift in energy infrastructure as AI moves from software-driven environments into machines and industrial systems. The company is positioning itself as a supplier of “instant power” technology for customers that need higher uptime, faster charging and lower operating disruption. Its growing patent portfolio and global footprint may help it compete in markets where power reliability is becoming a core requirement rather than a secondary feature.
The Series C round gives Nyobolt additional resources to scale its technology at a time when robotics, automation and AI infrastructure are placing new pressure on traditional energy systems. Its relationship with Symbotic provides a high-profile commercial validation point, while its planned work in India signals ambitions beyond warehouse robotics. As autonomous machines and AI data centers become more power-intensive, Nyobolt is betting that fast, durable and high-performance energy systems will become essential infrastructure for the next phase of automation.
