Living Innovation Laboratory Model Design and Implementation
Living Innovation Laboratory (LIL) is an open and recyclable way for
multidisciplinary researchers to remote control resources and co-develop user
centered projects. In the past few years, there were several papers about LIL
published and trying to discuss and define the model and architecture of LIL.
People all acknowledge about the three characteristics of LIL: user centered,
co-creation, and context aware, which make it distinguished from test platform
and other innovation approaches. Its existing model consists of five phases:
initialization, preparation, formation, development, and evaluation.
Goal Net is a goal-oriented methodology to formularize a progress. In this
thesis, Goal Net is adopted to subtract a detailed and systemic methodology for
LIL. LIL Goal Net Model breaks the five phases of LIL into more detailed steps.
Big data, crowd sourcing, crowd funding and crowd testing take place in
suitable steps to realize UUI, MCC and PCA throughout the innovation process in
LIL 2.0. It would become a guideline for any company or organization to develop
a project in the form of an LIL 2.0 project.
To prove the feasibility of LIL Goal Net Model, it was applied to two real
cases. One project is a Kinect game and the other one is an Internet product.
They were both transformed to LIL 2.0 successfully, based on LIL goal net based
methodology. The two projects were evaluated by phenomenography, which was a
qualitative research method to study human experiences and their relations in
hope of finding the better way to improve human experiences. Through
phenomenographic study, the positive evaluation results showed that the new
generation of LIL had more advantages in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.Comment: This is a book draf
Human Motion Trajectory Prediction: A Survey
With growing numbers of intelligent autonomous systems in human environments,
the ability of such systems to perceive, understand and anticipate human
behavior becomes increasingly important. Specifically, predicting future
positions of dynamic agents and planning considering such predictions are key
tasks for self-driving vehicles, service robots and advanced surveillance
systems. This paper provides a survey of human motion trajectory prediction. We
review, analyze and structure a large selection of work from different
communities and propose a taxonomy that categorizes existing methods based on
the motion modeling approach and level of contextual information used. We
provide an overview of the existing datasets and performance metrics. We
discuss limitations of the state of the art and outline directions for further
research.Comment: Submitted to the International Journal of Robotics Research (IJRR),

Modeling rationality to control self-organization of crowds: An environmental approach
In this paper we propose a classification of crowd models in built
environments based on the assumed pedestrian ability to foresee the movements
of other walkers. At the same time, we introduce a new family of macroscopic
models, which make it possible to tune the degree of predictiveness (i.e.,
rationality) of the individuals. By means of these models we describe both the
natural behavior of pedestrians, i.e., their expected behavior according to
their real limited predictive ability, and a target behavior, i.e., a
particularly efficient behavior one would like them to assume (for, e.g.,
logistic or safety reasons). Then we tackle a challenging shape optimization
problem, which consists in controlling the environment in such a way that the
natural behavior is as close as possible to the target one, thereby inducing
pedestrians to behave more rationally than what they would naturally do. We
present numerical tests which elucidate the role of rational/predictive
abilities and show some promising results about the shape optimization problem
