You will have time within sessions but also be required to work outside class, so manage your time effectively. It is up to you how you share and manage the work, however there is an expectation that workload will be distributed equally amongst the team.Ā Ā 

Note that you will receive a group mark for this assessment and are expected to manage teamwork and team dynamics as part of this assessment. If you have any issues regarding your team ways of working, please ensure you have captured sufficient evidence of teamwork and attempts to contact team members and undertake the work as part of your progress, then raise any issues with your teacher by end of Week 2 / beginning of Week 3.Ā Ā 

Instructions
  1. Choose a case where relevant information can easily be gathered.
  2. Organise your team and tasks effectively to ensure workload is distributed evenly.

  3. Identify and discuss a range of issues, including (but not limited to) those related to risk management & Occupational Health & Safety. Where required, undertake additional research to support you as needed.

  4. Ensure you include all the relevant information, as highlighted above in what should be included in the report. Refer to the rubric for further information on how you will be assessed and the expected level/quality of your response.

  5. Format the report professionally with clear headings. We recommended you review other reports (e.g. case studies, company reports, white papers, journal articles) where possible and look to undertake a similar format if/where possible.

  6. Necessary explanations for reference purposes and or reference detail can be provided in either Attachments or Footnotes where the word count will not apply, however brevity is important.

  7. Harvard referencing will be required ā€“ a minimum of 8 references should be included. Aim to include a number of high quality academic sources where possible.

Robot- delivered Jajangmyeon Noodles
Soon in Seoulā€™s near future, citizens will be able to order jajangmyeon Chinese-Korean
noodles, buy medicine and shop for magazines at home and have them delivered by a
robot in half an hour.
Kim Bong-jin, the founder of South Koreaā€™s biggest food-delivery app, is betting that
autonomous gadgets the size of a small cooler will help his Baedal Minjok delivery
service keep a grip on a market filled with new entrants. The goal is to cut costs, reduce
delivery-related accidents and cope with a labour shortage in one of the worldā€™s fastestaging nations. Kim is confident that his Dilly robots will start deliveries within three
years.
Woowa Brothers Corp, the company behind Baedal Minjok, raised US$320mil from
Hillhouse Capital, Sequoia Capital and GIC in the US to help develop a prototype thatā€™s
set to roll out soon. The goal is to tap into a global service robotics market projected to
almost triple to US$29.8bil by 2023, according to Markets and Markets Research
Private Ltd.
Valued at 3 trillion won (US$2.7bil), Kimā€™s start-up company currently handles about 28
million orders a month. Getting deliveries to people in the nation of 51 million is not an
easy task.
First, Kimā€™s Dilly robots have to be able to navigate in urban landscapes dominated by
tall residential buildings. He has found a solution by partnering with a local manufacturer
that would let elevators talk with the delivery robots.
The goal is to win over potential customers like Lee Dong-woo, who orders food at
home at least once a week, getting everything from fried chicken and rice noodles to
raw beef delivered to the door.
ā€œI wouldnā€™t mind robots getting my orders at all,ā€ said the 39-year-old Seoul office
worker. ā€œIn fact, Iā€™d like it more because I wouldnā€™t have to deal with sometimes
unpleasant deliverymen.ā€

Kim has been recruiting an army of robotics engineers and working with Sunnyvale,
California-based Bear Robotics Inc, which has been developing devices that deliver
dishes to customersā€™ tables in restaurants. Kim thinks his Dilly robots will eventually be
able to handle simple errands, including tasks such as throwing out garbage or
delivering a home-made lunch.
ā€œThereā€™s a growing trend of using robots to do things that human beings do not want to
do,ā€ said Jing Bing Zhang, an analyst at IDC.
ā€œThere are still a lot of technical challenges that need to be overcome. Especially in
urban areas like Singapore, Shanghai and Seoul, thereā€™ll be some safety concerns,
whether they will be hit by other vehicles or will hit people.ā€
Kim is meeting some early resistance from people who dread the idea of robots roaming
inside their apartment complexes. Critics say the Dilly robots would scare children and
make their real estate less attractive.
ā€œSome residents may still prefer humans, because they arenā€™t used to dealing with
machines for payments and other services,ā€ said Jin Se-taek, who represents an
association of about 1,100 households at an apartment complex in Seongnam, south of
Seoul.
Even though his company is one of South Koreaā€™s six unicorns, according to CB
Insights, Kim doesnā€™t believe in making people work longer than they have to. Kim
restricts his workers from labouring more than 35 hours a week, five hours less than
most companies in South Korea. So far, heā€™s satisfied with the increase in productivity.
ā€œWe didnā€™t introduce this so we could slack off,ā€ Kim said. ā€œMy goal was to create a
workplace where we could concentrate better. We should never stop thinking about how
we can change the way we work so we change the way we live.ā€
