日本語
本研究は、52カ国（2000～2019年）のパネルデータを用いて、産業用ロボットの導入がエネルギー脆弱性に与える影響を分析した。その結果、ロボット導入はエネルギー脆弱性を有意に低減し、そのメカニズムとして制度の柔軟性と技術進歩が重要な経路であることが示された。さらに、気候変動政策へのコミットメントが一定の閾値を超えると、ロボット導入の効果が増大する非線形効果が確認された。空間分析では、日本のようなロボット技術のイノベーション拠点に地理的に近い国で効果が強いことも明らかになった。
English
This study investigates the impact of industrial robot adoption on energy vulnerability using panel data from 52 countries (2000-2019). Results show that robot adoption significantly reduces energy vulnerability, with institutional flexibility and technological progress as key transmission channels. Threshold regression reveals that the effect intensifies once climate policy commitment surpasses critical thresholds. Spatial analysis indicates stronger vulnerability reduction in countries geographically proximate to Japan, reflecting technology spillovers.

In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on how industrial robotics can enhance energy security globally, with climate policy playing a crucial threshold role. The findings highlight the importance of technological spillovers from innovation hubs like Japan, and the need for differentiated strategies across countries. For global GX discourse, it links automation to climate resilience and energy transition.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Energy vulnerability threatens global stability amid supply disruptions, climate shocks, and geopolitical tensions. While industrial robotics shows promise for enhancing energy system resilience, empirical evidence remains scarce. This study investigates the robot-energy vulnerability nexus using panel data from 52 countries (2000–2019), examining direct effects, transmission mechanisms, threshold dynamics, and spatial heterogeneity. Results reveal five key findings. First, industrial robot adoption significantly reduces energy vulnerability. Second, mediation analysis demonstrates that institutional flexibility and technological progress serve as critical transmission channels, with technological progress accounting for the larger share. Third, threshold regression identifies nonlinear effects: robotics impact intensifies substantially once climate policy commitment—measured through adaptation and mitigation—surpasses critical thresholds. Fourth, spatial analysis confirms stronger vulnerability reduction in countries geographically proximate to Japan, reflecting technology spillovers from this innovation hub. Fifth, heterogeneity tests reveal those high-income, densely populated, and advanced digital infrastructure economies experience amplified benefits from robotics deployment. These findings offer actionable insights for policymakers designing differentiated strategies to leverage industrial robotics for enhanced energy security across diverse national contexts.
