Urban automation’s potential to create disruptive technologies that change cities’ future development is already in evidence, but there is much more to come. Urban automation refers to artificial intelligence, robotics, drones, and sensors are that being deployed in the built environment to support more efficient urban living and improved quality of life. While many benefits can be derived from urban automation, its various forms raise issues of access, privacy, safety, trust, control, and automated discrimination, that need to be addressed in its design and deployment. The panelists of this College of Design Research Forum will explore ethical principles and values from a range of perspectives that include, autonomous vehicles, building AI and sensors, urban supply chain logistics, and disability services.

Smart cities, buildings, homes, and infrastructure are all emerging as critical themes for the 21st-century built environment. These developments all have in common the integration of distributed sensors, coupled with real-time virtual simulation, and closed loop digital interventions into the built environment. College of Design faculty are working across widely varying scales from the city to the chip to conceive of and realize the next generation of digitally mediated built environments. This forum will present College research spanning from smart cities to smart buildings, virtual and augmented reality, and the internet of things. It will be followed by an open forum to explore opportunities for further collaboration by faculty and students in this wide area of emerging technology.
