A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Applying 4.0 Technologies to Public Spaces. Exploring New Functions and Interactions in Savona University Campus
Cities are complex systems linked to economic, ecological and demographic conditions and changes. The industrial revolutions, each with their own innovations, have clearly modified the city and its spaces. The aim of this paper is to understand how the ongoing digital and robotic revolution is capable of changing the smart city of today and tomorrow. The introduction of new technologies, from autonomous robots to IoT, required a transdisciplinary approach. This implies the need to adapt traditionally adopted planning tools. Through the analysis of five testbed districts and the experiences of Digital Twin (DT) applications in urban environments, new spatial relationships are identified.
These experiences, upstream of a Urban Digital Twin (UDT) application, highlight the potential that shared human-robot environments have for defining a digital infrastructure capable of monitoring, assessing and updating its boundary conditions in real-time based on continuous data sharing. Furthermore, they address the complexity of future urban planning by addressing participatory and collaborative processes so that human-robot coexistence is accepted and measured to the needs of citizens.
The case study of this paper is the university campus of Savona, which unites different realities within it: companies, research centres, sports facilities, residences and laboratories. In such a complicated urban ecosystem, the aim is to analyse how the introduction of a fleet of small robots for logistics modifies the internal zoning. The campus area is subdivided by means of a three-factor system (from-through-to) in order to identify critical points and opportunities that arise in the spatial sharing between men and robots.
