CPS / Digital Twin / Urban OS
Core CPS, digital twin, and urban OS technologies at the Mobile Computing Lab that capture cities, people flows, transportation, and buildings in cyberspace and connect the real and virtual worlds
Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and digital twins are foundational technologies that reproduce real-world cities, transportation, buildings, and environments in cyberspace. By fusing simulation with real data, they enable policy evaluation and future prediction that would be difficult to test in reality. Our lab works on digital twin construction at various scales: traffic and pedestrian flow simulation, urban modeling using 3D point clouds and NeRF/3D Gaussian Splatting, and energy management simulation in smart homes.
We also pursue AI-integrated system design, including automatic generation of simulation agents using large language models (LLMs) and large-scale scenario evaluation through parallel simulation on HPC (High-Performance Computing) infrastructure. These technologies contribute to building urban OS-like platforms that support urban planning, transportation policy, and disaster preparedness.
