About

Ui-Jeen Yu is a leading scholar at the intersection of technology adoption and the garment manufacturing industry, with a particular focus on Industry 4.0 innovations. Her research primarily examines the integration of collaborative robots (cobots) in textile and apparel production, especially within the context of developing economies. In her highly cited 2022 work, Yu applied the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology to analyze how Vietnamese garment factories can successfully implement cobot technology—a critical advancement for one of Asia’s top four garment-producing nations. This research provides actionable insights into improving both safety and productivity in uncaged human-robot collaboration environments. With her work garnering attention from both academic and industrial audiences, Yu’s contributions are shaping the future of smart manufacturing in the global apparel supply chain. Her studies offer vital guidance for policymakers, factory managers, and technology developers seeking to navigate the complex socio-technical challenges of automation in labor-intensive industries.
