Researchers from TU Darmstadt and ccollaborators present study

In the future, autonomous delivery drones could independently assess whether their remaining battery charge is sufficient for upcoming deliveries. A team of researchers from Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Sheffield, in collaboration with the French National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA) and industry partner Ingeniarius Ltd, has developed a new method for energy-aware deployment planning. The approach enables each drone to learn what orders it is capable of fulfilling even when not knowing its own battery health. It is shown to reduce delivery times and increase the number of processed orders compared to conventional approaches.
