MIT Mobile Experience Laboratory

The MIT Mobile Experience Lab focuses on creative and radical designs to recapture connections between

people, information, and places, using cutting-edge information technology to improve people’s lives through meaningful experiences.

With a multidisciplinary team, we research and design new technologies and explore their impact on spaces, communities and societies.

Research focus: http://mobile.mit.edu/research

.01 | ConnectivityTechnologies and services to foster location-based connections and redefine the user experience.

.02 | MobilityRethinking mobility, transportation, communication, and information networks.

.03 | SustainabilityDesigning for sustainability in urban and rural environments, and promoting sustainable communities.

.01 | Skeleton & SkinPre-industrial cities consisted essentially of skeleton and skin.They provided shelter and protection, and through stacking floors vertically they enabled intensification of land use.

.02 | Artificial PhysiologiesCities of the industrial era acquired extensive and sophisticated artificial physiologies: water supply and drainage systems, energy supply systems, and mechanized transportation.

.03 | Nervous systemCities of the digital information era are developing integrated electronic nervous systems. Cities starts to operate as intelligent organisms that make coordinated responses to changing conditions and needs.

Demand

Big Problem: Buildings and Transportation

In the 21st century about 90% of population growth will be in urban areas; these will account for 60% of the population and 80% of the wealth. Hence, the pattern of future energy demand will increasingly be determined by urban networks.

Transportation and building operations typically account for at least 60% of urban energy use.

In congested urban areas, about 40% of total gasoline use is in cars looking for parking.-Imperial College Urban Energy Systems Project

Renewable Power, Energy Storage, and Smart Grids

With large-scale use, car stacks throw enormous battery capacity into the electrical grid.

Effective utilization of inexpensive, off-peak power and clean but intermittent power sources – solar, wind, wave, etc.

A smart, distributed power generation system composed of these sources (the entire city as a virtual power plant) minimizes transmission losses.
