Industrial robots reduce carbon emissions in manufacturing through global value chains.

ABSTRACT: As quintessential representatives of advanced production tools in new-quality productive forces, industrial robots not only empower the intelligent transformation of industries but also align with the development philosophy of green and low-carbon growth. This paper, from the perspective of the manufacturing industry's embeddedness in the global value chain, utilizes world input-output tables and data related to the application of industrial robots to conduct an empirical analysis of the impact and mechanisms by which industrial robot application affects carbon emissions in the global manufacturing sector. The results indicate that the application of industrial robots in manufacturing has a significant carbon emission reduction effect, which remains robust after causal identification using
