Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, at least one processing device disposed within the housing and comprising a processor coupled to a memory, one or more sensors communicatively coupled to the processing device, one or more batteries configured to provide electrical power to the processing device, and one or more battery position actuators configured to modify a positioning of the one or more batteries relative to the housing. The processing device is configured to perform steps of obtaining information from the one or more sensors characterizing an operating state of the apparatus, monitoring the obtained information to detect one or more designated conditions affecting a health of the one or more batteries, and, responsive to detecting at least one of the one or more designated conditions, triggering the one or more battery position actuators to modify the positioning of the one or more batteries relative to the housing.
