Forecasting South Africa’s Coal-to-Clean Energy Transition: A Monte Carlo Simulation

Forecasting
South Africa remains one of the world’s most coal-dependent electricity systems, with coal accounting for 81.57% of generation in 2023. Despite policy interventions to diversify the energy mix, structural change is slow to emerge. This study provides the

Autonomous Navigation of Pollen‐Inspired Magnetic Microrobots for Biomedical Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sunflower pollen‐inspired magnetic microrobot enables controlled rolling navigation in vessel‐like environments. Its open geometry reduces hydrodynamic drag, while vision‐based closed‐loop control, shortest‐path planning, and reinforcement learning support target‐reaching and maze navigation with microrobot‐scale accuracy, highlighting a route toward

Model Predictive Control for Magnetically Actuated Cellbots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Magnetically actuated cellbots, formed by embedding microrobots in living cells, are steered along precise paths using a model predictive controller enhanced with a Gaussian process disturbance estimator. The data‐efficient method calibrates each cellbot individually, cutting modeling error by roughly 60% and enabling accurate navigation through cell ...

Robotic Assistants in the Operating Room: A Systematic Review of Vision‐Based Systems for Nonoperative Tasks

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review brings together 20 publications describing 11 robotic system families developed for instrument handling, sterile‐package opening, supply delivery, and operating room logistics. Perception is becoming more capable through deep learning and language‐guided control, but autonomy remains limited, evidence is largely laboratory‐based, and no ...

Trade Uncertainty, Economic Policy Uncertainty and Shipping Costs

German Economic Review
Abstract We examine how trade and policy uncertainty affect shipping freight rates, using a Bayesian Vector Autoregression (BVAR) model. Trade uncertainty has a strong effect on shipping costs, even though the effects become insignificant within a year.

Monetary Policy Under Uncertainty and Learning: An Overview [PDF]

Central banks must make policy decisions in the face of uncertainty based on imperfect and evolving knowledge about the economy. While few general results have emerged from the research on monetary policy in the face of uncertainty and learning, a key ...
