2 research idea notes tagged “automation”.

- [Warehouse robots and the workers beside them](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/warehouse-robots-and-workers.md) (2026-10-23, seed): Warehouse automation, operations and order picking appear on 63 recent papers in the operations research and AI journals, but only 10 of them carry a labour, worker, human, injury or wage keyword. Warehouses are where robots meet the most people. Do robots raise pace and injuries for the remaining workers, and do wages follow productivity? Tags: operations research, labor, automation.
- [Minimum wages and the machines that replace the minimum-wage job](https://scholar4ai.com/ideas/minimum-wages-and-automation.md) (2026-10-23, seed): The minimum wage appears on 34 recent papers in the economics and finance journals, but only 2 of 44 minimum-wage papers carry an automation, robot or technology keyword.
