This companion ICICIS 2023 paper explores how Differentiable Neural Computer (DNC) memory modules extend CNN and CNN-LSTM predictors for lithium-ion battery remaining useful life estimation.

E-readers are a popular way to read books, but some people may find the computer-generated voices used to read the books to be unnatural or robotic. Using trained neural networks to generate more human-sounding voices could certainly improve the reading experience for many people.

The ROBOCART project developed a fully-automatic simulated supermarket cart, named ROBOCART (tracker), to provide customers with a hands-free shopping experience. The system features human-tracking, trajectory prediction, automatic path-planning, and automatic charging capabilities. The project utilized an A* algorithm to plan the cart’s path and compared it with the most optimal path, explaining their design choices. The Kalman-Filter was also integrated into the system to make the customer-following task smarter and demonstrated how it saves up to 13% of the time in certain scenarios.
