We are developing a pervasive environment where devices and services proactively collaborate to seamlessly fulfill user intentions. To achieve this, we are designing Urban Space Robot, an autonomic computing platform for IoT-enabled smart cities. User needs in any given space constantly evolve based on past experiences, including social interactions. Moreover, individuals navigate numerous locations daily, and even a single environment can change significantly within a short time. To anticipate user needs in real-time, Urban Space Robot dynamically builds a knowledge base by integrating cyber-physical convergence data. Once a user’s intent is recognized, the platform orchestrates collaboration among distributed IoT agents to deliver context-aware services. As user requirements and urban conditions shift, Urban Space Robot continuously reconfigures IoT services to optimize Quality of Service (QoS). Through ongoing user-IoT interactions, IoT agents learn user preferences, enabling the autonomous evolution of urban intelligence. The study of urban dynamics has undergone a revolutionary transformation in recent years, driven by the proliferation of ubiquitous computing technologies and the resulting wealth of data they generate. In the era of smart cities and Internet of Things (IoT), urban environments are increasingly saturated with sensors, mobile devices, and interconnected systems. This ubiquitous technological infrastructure has created unprecedented opportunities for studying placeness, human behavior, and the built environment. The importance of this research is paramount, as it offers crucial insights into how people interact with and experience urban spaces, informing urban planning, policy-making, and the design of more livable, efficient, and sustainable cities.
