Researchers have developed a new hybrid framework for predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of turbofan engines, incorporating realistic uncertainty characterization. This approach divides an engine's operational lifespan into "healthy" and "degraded" phases, using different models for each. An LSTM-based autoencoder classifies the engine state, while a Conditional Weibull Survival Analysis and a Probabilistic Neural Network handle RUL estimation and uncertainty capture, respectively. The system dynamically weights predictions based on continuous state probabilities, offering robust, risk-informed maintenance insights. AI
