The point at which a Robot runs out of power is strictly deterministic. Yet they fly until they are low, then (situational) TURN AROUND towards the nearest Roboport. If it is already obvious they will run out of power before the target, make them fly to the intended charge point instead. https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... f=6&t=4995 would of course fix this, also.
Second suggestion also related to charging:
Upon entering a Roboport charging queue, check for nearby Roboports having no/shorter queues (the additional delay from flying there with or without power, and back, can be calculated) and send the Robot there if it is faster.
