This project provides active fire incidents of every major city on an interactive map. The tracker is updated in almost real-time from all over the nation. This live tracker updates with the latest smoke runoff from each fire, keeping you well informed and out of danger, as well as keeps… read more
An Intersectional Take on the Future of Mobility
Urban life has been increasingly grounded in mobilities as technological advances induce faster, cheaper, and more seamless mobility options. However, people’s experiences of such advances are shaped by their race, gender, class, other socially constructed dimensions, and the intersections of these dimensions. Despite the growing popularity of intersectionality lens, quantitative… read more

The Impact of Commercial District’s Vitality on Cognitive Decline: What Computer Vision and Deep Learning Can Find
The decline in commercial districts in Seoul, South Korea, is worsening because of excessive competition among the self-employed, COVID-19, and a decrease in offline consumption. Assessment of this decline is the first step in presenting strategies for the revitalization of commercial districts. This study explored whether cognitive decline can be… read more

Design & Analytics System based on Urban Artificial Intelligence
Big data and computational algorithms have gradually become integrated with the built environment and within human’s daily lives, leading to a significant rise in Urban Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and applications. As such, the proposed Design & Analytics system will develop digital twins and virtual/augmented reality for multi-scaled simulations and… read more
Convergent, Responsible, and Ethical AI Training Experience (CREATE Roboticists)
CREATE Roboticists will train future roboticists who: (i) understand the ethical implications of service robots and can develop new theories, methods, and techniques to satisfy ethical requirements; (ii) design human-centered ethical service robots that respect human autonomy and ethical values; and (iii) develop robotics policy informed by cutting edge convergent… read more
Digital Twin of Urban Systems: Towards Intelligent, Climate-adaptive, and Equitable Cities
This talk focuses on data science-enabled scientific discoveries and Artificial Intelligence techniques for urban systems in adapting to the changing climate. Cities around the world are facing various physical, social, and economic challenges associated with many stressors such as climate disasters. What makes cities vulnerable is in large part due… read more
Smart Population Data for Digital Twins
People are the most important part of cities. However, digital twins tend to focus on buildings and infrastructure. Dr. Rosenheim will introduce a project that provides a solution that connects people to buildings for digital twins. The housing unit inventory method transforms aggregated population data into disaggregated housing unit data… read more
Short to Medium Range Autonomous Delivery Systems (SMADS)
An interdisciplinary team spanning across four UT labs is developing a building-to-building delivery system for the UT Austin campus using robots that will improve contactless deliveries and save people time. These robots will cross complex terrain, navigating around people, cars, and other obstacles typical to campus roadways. Team Members: Junfeng… read more
