Zhiyuan's Peng Zhihui proposes Worken metric for robot workload

Peng Zhihui of Zhiyuan Robotics proposed using Worken (Work + Token) to measure a robot's actual workload, with the formula: number of active robots × autonomous working hours × output efficiency. It counts only time spent genuinely executing tasks and running autonomously, with output compared against a human baseline. The metric draws on cloud computing's usage-based metering approach and is intended to shift the industry's competition from shipment volumes, units off the line, and fleet size toward work actually completed.
