• Abstract: The evolution of existing transportation systems, mainly driven by urbanization and increased availability of mobility options, such as private, profit-maximizing ride-hailing companies, calls for tools to reason about their design and regulation. To study this complex socio-technical problem, one needs to account for the strategic interactions of the stakeholders involved in the mobility ecosystem. In this paper, we present a game-theoretic framework to model multi-modal mobility systems, focusing on municipalities, service providers, and travelers. Through a user-friendly, Graphical User Interface, one can visualize system dynamics and compute equilibria for various scenarios. The framework enables stakeholders to assess the impact of local decisions (e.g., fleet size for services or taxes for private companies) on the full mobility system. Furthermore, this project aims to foster STEM interest among high school students (e.g., in the context of prior activities in Switzerland, and planned activities with the MIT museum). This initiative combines theoretical advancements, practical applications, and educational outreach to improve mobility system design.

  Navigating urban environments poses unique challenges for robots, necessitating innovative solutions for locomotion and navigation. This work introduces a fully integrated system comprising adaptive locomotion control, mobility-aware local navigation planning, and large-scale path planning within the city. Using model-free reinforcement learning (RL) techniques and privileged learning, we develop a versatile locomotion controller. Our controllers are integrated into a large-scale urban navigation system and validated by autonomous, kilometer-scale navigation missions conducted in Zurich, Switzerland, and Seville, Spain.

  A key challenge in the operation of shared e-mobility systems is fleet rebalancing. We first investigate rich sets of data collected from a real-world shared e-mobility system for one year. With the learned knowledge we design a high-fidelity simulator, which is able to abstract key operation details of EV sharing. Then we model the rebalancing task for shared e-mobility systems under continuous expansion as a Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) problem.

  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.
