Role of Robots

Robots, trade and production networks: the role of robots in shaping trade competitiveness in East Asia


This study examines how the rise of industrial robots affects trade and production networks in East Asia. Declining robot costs have led to increased adoption across countries, particularly in those with high labor costs or where production is capital-intensive. This includes not only developed economies but also several emerging ones experiencing rising labor costs.

A Ricardian-based gravity model reveals convergence in absolute advantage: developing countries have upgraded their industrial technologies, thereby narrowing the technological gap with advanced economies. In contrast, under comparative advantage, developing countries are losing traditional labor cost advantages. The study suggests that robotization has become a strategic response to rising costs. Despite the growth of automation, there is limited evidence of reshoring.

Trade in both final goods and intermediate inputs has continued to expand. Among the contributing factors are the modest share of robot costs in total industrial production and the increasing adoption of robotics in developing countries. These findings suggest that East Asian production networks remain resilient and that automation is transforming, rather than dismantling, regional value chains.

Spectroscopy Measurement

Optimizing the effect of battery relaxation on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement for real-time SOC estimation using transfer learning Conventional Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) measurements require extended battery rest periods, restricting real-time use in battery management systems (BMS) and limiting generalization across chemistries. This work introduces transfer learning to significantly shorten rest time and improve model adaptability, enabling more practical and scalable EIS integration for real-world state of charge (SOC) estimations. EIS experiments were performed on 52 Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and 3.6 Ah Nickel Cobalt Manganese (NCM) cells at varying SOCs, with and without rest periods. The transfer learning-based Deep Neural Network (DNN-TL) model achieved high SOC estimation accuracy for LFP cells with mean squared error (MSE) of 0.0063 and mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0664, improving MSE by 77.58% and MAE by 50.92% compared to stan...

Global Lighthouse Network

Smart, sustainable manufacturing: 3 lessons from the Global Lighthouse Network Launched in 2018, when more than 70% of factories struggled to scale digital transformation beyond isolated pilots, the Global Lighthouse Network set out to identify the world’s most advanced production sites and create a shared learning journey to up-level the global manufacturing community. In the past seven years, the network has grown from 16 to 201 industrial sites in more than 30 countries and 35 sectors, including the latest cohort of 13 new sites. This growing community of organizations is setting new standards for operational excellence, leveraging advanced technologies to drive growth, productivity, resilience and environmental sustainability. But what exactly is a Global Lighthouse and what has the network achieved? What is the Global Lighthouse Network? The Global Lighthouse Network is a community of operational facilities and value chains that harness digital technologies at scale to ac...

Quantum Network Nodes

An operating system for executing applications on quantum network nodes The goal of future quantum networks is to enable new internet applications that are impossible to achieve using only classical communication . Up to now, demonstrations of quantum network applications  and functionalities   on quantum processors have been performed in ad hoc software that was specific to the experimental setup, programmed to perform one single task (the application experiment) directly into low-level control devices using expertise in experimental physics.  Here we report on the design and implementation of an architecture capable of executing quantum network applications on quantum processors in platform-independent high-level software. We demonstrate the capability of the architecture to execute applications in high-level software by implementing it as a quantum network operating system-QNodeOS-and executing test programs, including a delegated computation from a client to a server ...
