    Abstract We argue theoretically and document empirically that aging leads to greater (industrial) automation, because it creates a shortage of middle-aged workers specializing in manual production tasks. We show that demographic change is associated with greater adoption of robots and other automation technologies across countries and with more robotics-related activities across U.S. commuting zones. We also document more automation innovation in countries undergoing faster aging. Our directed technological change model predicts that the response of automation technologies to aging should be more pronounced in industries that rely more on middle-aged workers and those that present greater opportunities for automation and that productivity should improve and the labor share should decline relatively in industries that are more amenable to automation. The evidence supports all four of these predictions.

  2. ; ; ; ; ; (, Semantic Relation Detection Between Construction Entities to Support Safe Human-Robot Collaboration in Construction)
    Construction robots have drawn increased attention as a potential means of improving construction safety and productivity. However, it is still challenging to ensure safe human-robot collaboration on dynamic and unstructured construction workspaces. On construction sites, multiple entities dynamically collaborate with each other and the situational context between them evolves continually. Construction robots must therefore be equipped to visually understand the scene’s contexts (i.e., semantic relations to surrounding entities), thereby safely collaborating with humans, as a human vision system does. Toward this end, this study builds a unique deep neural network architecture and develops a construction-specialized model by experimenting multiple fine-tuning scenarios. Also, this study evaluates its performance on real construction operations data in order to examine its potential toward real-world applications. The results showed the promising performance of the tuned model: the recall@5 on training and validation dataset reached 92% and 67%, respectively. The proposed method, which supports construction co-robots with the holistic scene understanding, is expected to contribute to promoting safer human-robot collaboration in construction.

    Extended exposure to reliable automation may lead to overreliance as evidenced by poor responses to auto-mation errors. Individual differences in trust may also influence responses. We investigated how these factors affect response to automation errors in a driving simulator study comprised of stop-controlled and uncon-trolled intersections. Drivers experienced reliable vehicle automation during six drives where they indicated if they felt the automation was going too slow or too fast by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal. Engage-ment via pedal presses did not affect the automation but offered an objective measure of trust in automation. In the final drive, an error occurred where the vehicle failed to stop at a stop-controlled intersection. Drivers’ response to the error was inferred from brake presses. Mixture models showed bimodal response times and revealed that drivers with high trust were less likely to respond to automation errors than drivers with low trust.
