In this review, we attempt to describe the evolution of integrated assessment modeling research since the pioneering work of William Nordhaus in 1994, highlighting a number of challenges and suggestions for moving the field forward. The field has evolved from global aggregate models focused on cost-benefit analysis to detailed process models used to generate emissions scenarios and to coupled model frameworks for impact analyses. The increased demand for higher sectoral, temporal, and spatial resolution to conduct impact analyses has led to a number of challenges both computationally and conceptually. Overcoming these challenges and moving the field forward will require not only greater efforts in model coupling software and translational tools, the incorporation of empirical findings into integrated assessment models, and intermethod comparisons but also the expansion and better coordination of multidisciplinary researchers in this field through better training of the next generation of integrated assessment scholars and expanding the community of practice.

Collaborative robots (COBOTs) are robots designed to safely work with people and have made significant strides in next generation applications, making them metrology ready. The ability to record and repeat movements, integrate sensors, reduce cost, improve quality, provide process sustainment, decrease attrition, improve throughput, and not require benefits packages, all in one system, can seem like a dream. COBOTs have developed to a level where they have become a viable solution with ROIs within months. The need for elaborate robot programming knowledge and specialized machining has been replaced with commercial off the shelf (COTS) resources that quickly provide solutions. How to manage a COBOT metrology laboratory, address personnel concerns, cost benefit analysis, and accreditation concerns, along with how to integrate COBOT capabilities are the basis of discussion for this paper.
