Situation

The aim of the project is to redefine battery performance management for drones by integrating real-time state of charge (SoC) monitoring. Predictive models improve accuracy, enabling longer flight times, fewer interruptions and optimised energy consumption in automated inventory management systems.

This project contributes to the following SDGs

  • 7: Affordable and clean energy
  • 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure
  • 17: Partnerships for the goals
