AutoMat was represented at the International Conference on Recycling and Waste Management, held on September 18–19, 2025, in Los Angeles (USA), where Dr. Łukasz Hupka from Gdańsk University of Technology participated as an eminent speaker.

In his presentation, titled “Data-Driven Modeling and Validation of Residual Useful Life Prediction for Second-Life EV Batteries,” Dr. Hupka introduced one of AutoMat’s predictive models designed to estimate the Residual Useful Life (RUL) of used electric vehicle batteries intended for second-life applications. The model integrates AI-based analytics and data-driven approaches to anticipate battery degradation and maximize their reuse potential within a circular value chain.

In addition to his presentation, Dr. Hupka participated in a panel debate on Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability, where he discussed the role of advanced recycling technologies and digital modeling tools in supporting the transition toward a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy.

The participation of the AutoMat Project at this international event helped to strengthen the global visibility of the project’s innovative contributions to battery circularity, AI-assisted lifetime prediction, and sustainable energy storage solutions.
