- Abstract summary: The aim of this research is to set up a system to monitor the flow of people inside public places and facilities of interest without collecting personal or sensitive data.
Our study, which began as an experiment in the Umbria region of Italy, aims to be one of several answers to automated planning of people's flows in order to make our land more liveable.

- Abstract: The unexpected historical period we are living has abruptly pushed us to
loosen any sort of interaction between individuals, gradually forcing us to
deal with new ways to allow compliance with safety distances; indeed the
present situation has demonstrated more than ever how critical it is to be able
to properly organize our travel plans, put people in safe conditions, and avoid
harmful circumstances. The aim of this research is to set up a system to
monitor the flow of people inside public places and facilities of interest
(museums, theatres, cinemas, etc.) without collecting personal or sensitive
data. Weak monitoring of people flows (i.e. monitoring without personal
identification of the monitored subjects) through Internet of Things tools
might be a viable solution to minimize lineups and overcrowding. Our study,
which began as an experiment in the Umbria region of Italy, aims to be one of
several answers to automated planning of people's flows in order to make our
land more liveable. We intend to show that the Internet of Things gives almost
unlimited tools and possibilities, from developing a basic information process
to implementing a true portal which enables business people to connect with
interested consumers.

This chapter describes a low-cost approach to monitoring overtourism based on mobile devices' wireless activity.
The crowding sensors count the number of surrounding mobile devices, by detecting trace elements of wireless technologies.
They run detection programs for several technologies, and fingerprinting analysis results are only stored locally in an anonymized database.

Finding obstacle-free paths in unknown environments is a big navigation issue for visually impaired people and autonomous robots.
New devices based on computer vision systems can help impaired people to overcome the difficulties of navigating in unknown environments in safe conditions.
In this work it is proposed a combination of sensors and algorithms that can lead to the building of a navigation system for visually impaired people.

Data with privacy concerns comes with stringent regulations that frequently prohibited data access and data sharing.
Overcoming these obstacles is key for technological progress in many real-world application scenarios that involve privacy sensitive data.
Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

Algorithm consists of a multi-step inverse model (predicting actions from distant observations) with an information bottleneck.
We demonstrate the discovery of controllable latent state in three domains: localizing a robot arm with distractions, exploring in a maze alongside other agents, and navigating in the Matterport house simulator.
