It encompasses a spectacular R&D prototype of a self-driving car, a survey of urban mobility worldwide as well as the mobility of data, and all the millions of people who are now migrating to cities. Alexander Mankowsky (DE) will talk about the automotive R&D going on at Mercedes-Benz, and then Martina Mara (AT) will go into the relationship between human beings and autonomous vehicles. Shunji Yamanaka (JP) and Takayuki Furuta (JP) of the Future Robotics Technology Center will present their latest robots. Hiroshi Ishii (JP/US) will elaborate on global data traffic, and then Ou Ning (CN) and Kilian Kleinschmidt (DE) will deal with the movements of huge numbers of refugees: Ning with the great many Chinese people leaving that country’s rural areas; Kleinschmidt with refugee housing that’s fit for human beings. • Info: A symposium in the context of the European Digital Art & Science Network.
