Predicting the RUL of Li-Ion Batteries in UAVs Using Machine Learning Techniques

As lithium-ion batteries age, they get worse and worse, and eventually reach the end of their useful life. This is a big issue for companies who operate fleets of UAVs. if they replace the batteries in their drones too early, they're wasting money, if they replace them too late, missions and deliveries get compromised. So they need a way to predict exactly when a drone's battery is going to reach the end of its life. Luckily, a new paper uses AI to do exactly that...
