• Abstract: Human mobility patterns refer to the regularities and trends in the way people move, travel, or navigate through different geographical locations over time. Detecting human mobility patterns is essential for a variety of applications, including smart cities, transportation management, and disaster response. The accuracy of current mobility prediction models is less than 25%. The low accuracy is mainly due to the fluid nature of human movement. Typically, humans do not adhere to rigid patterns in their daily activities, making it difficult to identify hidden regularities in their data. To address this issue, we proposed a web platform to visualize human mobility patterns by abstracting the locations into a set of places to detect more realistic patterns. However, the platform was initially designed to detect individual mobility patterns, making it unsuitable for representing the crowd in a smart city scale. Therefore, we extend the platform to visualize the mobility of multiple users from a city-scale perspective. Our platform allows users to visualize a graph of visited places based on their historical records using a modified PrefixSpan approach. Additionally, the platform synchronizes, aggregates, and displays crowd mobility patterns across various time intervals within a smart city. We showcase our platform using a real dataset.

  We find that despite the absence of commuting costs, an individuals inclination to explore new locations diminishes over time. We also find a lack of correlation between land prices and visitation, a deviation from the patterns characterizing the physical world. Our ability to predict the characteristics of the emerging meta mobility network implies that the laws governing human mobility are rooted in fundamental patterns of human dynamics.

  Long-term urban mobility predictions play a crucial role in the effective management of urban facilities and services. Traditionally, urban mobility data has been structured as videos, treating longitude and latitude as fundamental pixels. In our research, we introduce a fresh perspective on urban mobility prediction. Instead of oversimplifying urban mobility data as traditional video data, we regard it as a complex time series.

  This work aims to exploit the use of sparse visual observations to achieve perceptual locomotion over a range of commonly seen bumps, ramps, and stairs in human-centred environments. We first formulate the selection of minimal visual input that can represent the uneven surfaces of interest, and propose a learning framework that integrates such exteroceptive and proprioceptive data. We validate the learned policy in tasks that require omnidirectional walking over flat ground and forward locomotion over terrains with obstacles, showing a high success rate.

  The ability to autonomously explore and navigate a physical space is a fundamental requirement for virtually any mobile autonomous agent.

We show that learned affordance maps can be used to augment traditional approaches for both exploration and navigation, providing significant improvements in performance.
