Japanese automaker Toyota says it is building a research center in a city-like setting to test robotics, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous vehicle technologies.日本汽车制造商丰田汽车说，它正在在类似城市的环境中建立研究中心，以测试机器人技术，人工智能（AI）和自动驾驶汽车技术。Toyota recently announced it had completed the first part, or phase, of the center, called Woven City. It sits near the southern Japanese city of Susono. Company officials recently showed off the latest progress to reporters from the Associated Press.丰田最近宣布已完成该中心的第一部分或阶段，称为Woven City。 它坐落在日本南部城市Susono附近。 公司官员最近向美联社的记者展示了最新的进展。Daisuke Toyoda is an executive for Toyota who is helping lead the project. He told the AP that the center was not designed to be a “smart city.” However, it aims to carry out technology research and development and be “a test course for mobility.”Daisuke Toyoda是丰田公司的高管，他正在帮助领导该项目。 他告诉美联社，该中心并非被设计为“聪明的城市”。 但是，它旨在进行技术研发，并成为“移动性的测试课程”。The company said Woven City would serve as a “Living Laboratory.” It aims to test technology systems to support future changes in “the movement of people, goods, information and energy.”该公司表示，编织城将作为“活实验室”。 它旨在测试技术系统，以支持“人，商品，信息和能源的运动”的未来变化。Toyoda said the center is meant to be a place where researchers and technology company officials can come together and share ideas. It will also seek to establish a community with a shared desire “to co-create, develop and refine” new technology products and services.Toyoda说，该中心本来是研究人员和技术公司官员可以聚集在一起并分享想法的地方。 它还将寻求建立一个以“共同创建，开发和完善”新技术产品和服务的共同愿望的社区。Woven City was built on the grounds of a closed Toyota automobile factory. The automaker said the project's first phase covers about 47,000 square meters. When completed, it will spread out over 294,000 square meters.编织城是建于一家封闭的丰田汽车工厂的地面上的。 这位汽车制造商表示，该项目的第一阶段覆盖约47,000平方米。 完成后，它将扩散到294,000平方米以上。Building operations on Woven City began in 2021. All the buildings are connected by underground passageways. Among planned testing activities will include self-driving vehicles making waste pickups and completing deliveries around the area. Testing operations will center on how people living in cities can best interact with changing technologies.编织城的建筑行动始于2021年。所有建筑物均通过地下通道连接。 在计划的测试活动中，将包括自动驾驶车辆制造废物拾音器并完成该地区的交货。 测试操作将集中在城市中的人们如何最好地与不断变化的技术互动。Currently, no one lives in Woven City. When it opens, officials plan on having about 100 people living there. They will be called “weavers.” These are workers employed by Toyota and its partner companies making other products.目前，没有人居住在编织城。 开放时，官员们计划让大约100人居住在那里。 他们将被称为“织布工”。 这些是丰田及其合作伙伴公司雇用的工人。When AP reporters visited the area, Japanese coffee maker UCC was serving hot drinks from a self-driving bus. The bus was parked in an area surrounded by still-empty housing.当AP记者访问该地区时，日本咖啡机UCC正在自动驾驶巴士提供热饮。 公共汽车停在被仍然空地的住房包围的地区。Toyota has supported electric vehicle (EV) technology in the past. However, the company is currently involved in a push for hydrogen, the energy of choice in Woven City.丰田过去曾支持电动汽车（EV）技术。 但是，该公司目前参与推动氢，这是编织城的首选能量。Keisuke Konishi is an automobile expert at Japan's Quick Corporate Valuation Research Center. He told the AP Toyota has plans to expand into self-driving vehicle services to compete with Google's Waymo and other large companies.Keisuke Konishi是日本快速公司评估研究中心的汽车专家。 他告诉AP Toyota计划扩展到自动驾驶汽车服务，以与Google的Waymo和其他大型公司竞争。Konishi noted the company has the money for such development even if it means building up a completely new business. “Toyota has the money to do all that,” he said.Konishi指出，该公司有这种开发的钱，即使这意味着要建立全新的业务。 他说：“丰田有钱做所有这一切。”Toyota officials have said they do not expect Woven City to make money, at least not for the first few years.丰田官员表示，他们不希望编织城赚钱，至少在头几年没有。Several other futuristic developments have been planned in other areas of the world over the years. They have included efforts in Toronto, Canada; Saudi Arabia; Abu Dhabi; and San Francisco, California. But those projects are either still being developed or have been canceled.多年来，在世界其他领域还计划了其他一些未来派发展。 他们包括在加拿大多伦多的努力； 沙特阿拉伯; 阿布扎比； 和加利福尼亚州旧金山。 但是这些项目仍在开发或已取消。

In the latest episode of the "Redefining Society Podcast," we dive into the pulsating heart of urban innovation at the Smart City Expo World Congress 2023 in Barcelona. This episode features a conversation with Brandon Branham of Peachtree Corners and the Curiosity Lab, an epicenter of smart city development in Atlanta, Georgia.The dialogue orbits around the synergy of smart city initiatives and the organic evolution of societies. We unpack the layers of complexity that define smart cities—places where technology, policy, and human experience converge to forge dynamic, interconnected urban environments. As we look at smart city ecosystems, we scrutinize the remarkable advancements and the challenges that pace their deployment.We learn about Peachtree Corners' remarkable transformation from a cradle of technological firsts—like the invention of the modem and the color printer—to a living laboratory for smart city innovation. Here, the realms of connected vehicles and vulnerable road users intersect, as highlighted by the collaboration between Audi and a company called Spoke, aiming to make roads safer for everyone.The narrative extends to how smaller cities like Peachtree Corners can serve as microcosms for innovation, more agile and receptive to change than their larger counterparts. In contrast, historical cities like Florence, faced with the challenge of preserving their heritage, illustrate the complexity if the integration and balance of progress and tradition.Join us as we navigate through the mosaic of smart city dialogues, capturing a glimpse of what the future holds for our urban spaces, where technology doesn't just exist but coalesces with humanity to redefine society.____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube Channel

A recent agreement approved by the Peoria City Council may be the first of its kind in Illinois — putting Peoria on the map as a so-called “smart city.”

“The system is not set up to facilitate wellness and health. My goal is to help connect regular people with the current research and help make a difference in their lives and help reduce the global burden of Alzheimer's.”    Tamara Claunch (34:51-35:18) Tamara Claunch had a first hand experience with Alzheimer's that left her feeling hopeless. Her grandmother passed away in 2008 from Alzheimer's related complications and, after watching her get sicker and sicker over many years with no way to help, it left Tamara worrying about how she would end up (both her great-grandmother and grandmother had it).   Her concern drove her to start reading the latest international Alzheimer's research and was surprised to find out how many things you can do to reduce your risk of getting the disease. She started working for The Center For Applied Research and Dementia where she helped individuals with late-stage Alzheimer's use a therapeutic rehabilitative approach that enabled them to re-learn how to eat, communicate and perform other basic functions we don't usually see someone late-stage be able to do again.    Tamara went on to work with other organizations like Dementia Alliance International and Apollo Health, which further showed Tamara all that's available for us to do to prevent and protect ourselves against Alzheimer's. Now with her Brain Beautiful Method, taught through digital courses and one-on-one coaching sessions, Tamara teaches people how to transform their body into a Living Laboratory, cultivating a garden of brain-supportive habits unique to yourself. Her four micro-courses, Nourish, Move, Calm and Rest, focus on the core essentials of defending against Alzheimer's (proper nutrition, exercise and stress management).    “If I had a magic wand and could make everybody eat in a Brain Beautiful way, half of their plate would be green leafy vegetables, it would incorporate probiotics or prebiotics bacteria, and include non-starchy vegetables and eating a rainbow seasonal produce.” Tamara Claunch (26:14-26:54)   We all know proper nutrition and physical activity is essential for health, but how does it affect your risk for Alzheimer's? By following the Brain Beautiful Method and eating properly, getting the right kind and right amount of exercise, not smoking, not having unhealthy alcohol habits, and engaging in cognitive stimulation activities, you can cut your risk for getting Alzheimer's by 60%! When it comes to fitness, what's most important is getting your blood flowing because when blood pumps through your body, it's bringing vital nutrients to your brain. A minimum of 150 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity a week is standard, and exercise like high intensity interval training (HIIT) has proven to be highly effective. Even if you or someone you know doesn't have that ability for such vigorous exercise, Tamara suggests walking! Our bodies are designed for it and if you start tracking your steps, you can do just a little bit more each day.   “One of the most important functions of sleep is cleaning out the brain at night. When we go to sleep at night and we get into deep sleep, cerebrospinal fluid washes across the surface of the brain and carries away detritus which is essentially [the] brain's trash litter. Every thought you had, everything you read, every word you spoke [and so on] is a chemical reaction in the brain which is left behind like trash that needs to be washed.” Tamara Claunch (15:21-15:50)   Sleep is also vital to Alzheimer's prevention and something that (as Lori admitted on the podcast) most of us aren't getting enough of. But without getting enough sleep, which is about seven to eight hours per night, your brain can't clean itself and your body struggles to step out of stress and into the rest, relaxation and recovery it needs. If you're a chronic late-night phone scroller… stop! Blue light is emitted from our screens and is what stops the production of melatonin in the brain. When blue light enters the eyes, it stops the reaction of melatonin which is what helps us sleep and maintain healthy sleep-wake cycles. This is a tough habit to break for most of us, but Tamara recommends plugging your cell phone in to charge at night in the bathroom or kitchen… anywhere that's close enough to get to it in an emergency, but not easy to grab and scroll when you should be sleeping.   Lastly, stress is something that we can never get rid of, but can learn to manage more effectively. Our natural fight-or-flight stress response was create for our ancestors to (literally) stay alive, but since we don't have that life-threatening danger anymore, we need to learn how to turn this response off and get our body back into homeostasis, rather than hyperactivity (which raises our risk for Alzheimer's). One way to teach your body to switch out of its sympathetic nervous system and into the parasympathetic ‘rest and digest' function is to breathe properly! A quick way to do this is to practice slow and controlled diaphragmatic breathing by breathing in slowly for a count of four, holding your breath for a count of four, then exhaling for a count of four. Repeat this for five or six times and you'll feel a wave of calm take over previous anxiety or stress!   “We have to have a reason to get out of bed every day for the rest of our lives. It's so important for us to have roles and purpose and meaningful connections in our own home, within our communities and with the wider world. This may not be ‘essential' to life, but studies show that chronic loneliness can raise your risk of Alzheimer's tremendously.” Tamara Claunch (31:25-31:55)   Tamara's Brain Beautiful program helps you take an honest look at your nutrition, exercise, stress and sleep habits and make small, daily improvements that will make a huge difference. On top of it all, Tamara teaches how important it is for us to have a sense of purpose. Living a rich, dynamic, engaged, purposeful life is just as important as eating the right foods and getting enough exercise. Life doesn't end at retirement and as humans, we're hardwired for community and connection. A key risk factor of Alzheimer's is loneliness, so make sure you're investing in your mental health by adding more passion and purpose to your life!   Tamara has two more courses launching soon, one of which teaches you how to support your natural detoxification pathways in the body.

This podcast discusses how the activists responsible for the Anti-Fragile “living laboratory” (the Austin-based “Tannehill Marketville Collective”) were able to make significant progress through the holidays of Thanksgiving, Christmas/Chanukah, and New Years, and without funding, through the daily stresses of financial challenges, COVID illness, and attrition from within the team. It's now mid-February, and the small, unfunded activist committee responsible for delivering the Anti-Fragile “living laboratory” is on the cusp of announcing their vision and plan to the community (a formal “launch”), and through the holidays was able to define and deliver upon a professional and capable “go to market plan.” In this podcast episode, Ruth Glendinning and Kent Dahlgren discuss attributes of what Kent once called the “hive mind operating system” for activating a sustained collective effort, and with creative continuity, through periods of hardship and attrition, and without formal modes of compensation. The “hive mind operating system” (later known as “org,” for “organizational competency” as it was tuned through on-the-streets activism, and now known as the 214 Community Activation and Launch Methodology, or C.A.L.M.) is a step-by-step program for guiding activists from a state of outrage to sustained stewardship, through action. It's at this precise intersection that Ruth and Kent have merged their respective visions for, as Ruth calls it: “transacting transformation,” or as Kent elaborates (borrowing from the domain of interaction / user experience design): constructing a series of transactions / interactions to bring about transformational change, relying entirely upon soft capital (gift economy) for compensation. The following tactile deliverables were creatively defined and delivered by a small, unfunded group of committed volunteers. Through the holidays, through COVID, and through inevitable attrition: (Visual identity / Branding) A newly-created logo, icon, and style guide, ensuring consistent and professional brand presentation across all materials and online platforms. (Audience) Defined audience engagement categories of “sellers” and “members,” which mixes the benefits for "buyers" and "community" Defined “what's in it for me?” options for "members" (Materials) Draft informational email Informational video Definition for "engagement packages" (defined as Seed, Root, Grow, Sustain, and Flourish Logos for “Seed, Root, Grow, Sustain, and Flourish” are done and added to materials Brief presentation for those who want more info (vision and step-by-step plan) New handout flier design: messaging and logos (Operations) Corporate / Co-op structure Governance and operational decisions regarding financials

This episode we'll discover a side to Rocky Mountain National Park that most people don't even know exists. Beyond the beautiful trails and mountains, the park is a Living Laboratory of science. There are about a hundred individual scientific research projects going on in the park at any one time, some of the most cutting edge ecology, biology and conservation in the world is done right here. That work is helping to protect the Estes Park region today and into the future. Rocky Mountain National Park may feel isolated from the cities and industry of the plains, but it's not. It's part of a complex interconnected system in which every piece is dependent on one another. And to understand how that works, and why it's important, we're going to hike up to more than 10,000-ft to one of the most remote research stations in the country to find out about an experiment that has been going on in the park for the last 38 years. It's one of the longest running ecological research studies in the world and it's changing the way we understand the park, the plains and even our own relationship to the wild spaces we love. Welcome to Rocky Mountain National Park's Living Laboratory.

Vivian was part of a collaborative team that built a 7,000 square foot Living Laboratory at Carnegie Mellon to explore and research the next generation of lighting, facades, mechanical, networking and interior systems. ”It's a real wonder to know that we've been able to transform education and practice to a certain extent.” – Vivian Loftness   Book Recommendations: Vivian recommends to start with books on biophilic foundations, cities and patterns.  There is a series by author Stephen R. Kellert that she believes everyone should read.   Amazon Link to Stephen R. Kellert books   To hear more about Vivian's connection with sustainability, download and listen to the episode!

They all facilitate the use of campus resources to connect students, faculty and staff to hands-on, sustainable projects at their universities. They discuss the many common terms used for these programs including "campus as living lab", "campus as a learning lab", "applied learning." Each guest talks about the logistics of how their programs are structured, funded and evolving. They also share their insights on the major challenges and opportunities related to Campus as Lab projects in the broader picture of sustainable development and higher education.

For this segment of the Early Link Podcast, I brought my kids to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) to explore the exhibits and learn more about the science museum's involvement in early learning. We spent lots of time in the Science Playground learning about animals, playing in sand, splashing in water fountains and whirl pools, and building dams. We also visited Innovation Station and the Chemistry Lab, and after several hours felt like we had just scratched the surface of what the museum had to offer. During the visit, I spoke with Annie Douglass, the museum's early childhood education manager about how play can stimulate learning about the science process, the Living Laboratory program that teaches adults about cognitive science and early learning, and the role museums are playing in becoming access points for early education. Enjoy the sounds of OMSI with some very young special guests! Segment Highlights 0:02 OMSI is an amazing place! 0:41 Water play in the Science Playground 1:08 Early childhood education at OMSI 1:57 Living Laboratory helps adults learn about cognitive science 2:39 Museums increasingly serve as access points for early education 4:16 Adults are crucial to connect play and learning 4:58 An extra special closing song More information with photos: http://www.childinst.org/news/the-early-link-podcast/830-early-learning-at-omsi

In order to understand how children think and behave, psychologists need to study them. Most of the time, these experiments take place in university labs or sometime in schools, but one program is taking psychological science into museums around the country. In this episode, Peter Blake, EdD, talks about the Living Laboratory and how it’s breaking down barriers between scientists and the public.

Helen Tilley‘s new book Africa as a Living Laboratory: Empire, Development, and the Problem of Scientific Knowledge, 1870-1950 (University of Chicago Press, 2011) uncovers the surprising relationships that developed between science and empire as Britain attempted to fulfill its imperial projects in Africa. Focused primarily on Britain’s colonial dependencies, Tilley shows how the weakness of the empire and the complexity of Africa and of Africans transformed field studies into social and scientific laboratories conducting not merely scientific experiments but also experiments in epistemology, governance and disciplinary methods and aims. Tilley shows how what she calls “vernacular knowledge” circulated and affected metropolitan decision making, how understandings of ecology and complexity seemed to produce both epistemic and imperial humility and how some scientists were ambivalent about their participation research in states that were founded on white rule. Development, under all of its meanings, began long before decolonization, and Africa as a Living Laboratory shows us how imperial ambitions, expertise and experience transformed understandings of what was possible and how it would be best achieved.   Learn more about your ad choices.
