Quantity
Glossary page
Quantities in computing refer to small or large numbers that are represented using a concise, whole-number notation with SI suffixes. This notation allows for easy representation of fractional numbers using milli units, while larger numbers can be represented using kilo, mega, or giga units. For example, 1.5 can be represented as 1500m, 1000 as 1k, and 1000000 as 1M. In addition, binary-notation suffixes can be used, such as 2Ki to represent 2048. The accepted decimal (power-of-10) units are m (milli), k (kilo, intentionally lowercase), M (mega), G (giga), T (tera), P (peta), and E (exa). The accepted binary (power-of-2) units are Ki (kibi), Mi (mebi), Gi (gibi), Ti (tebi), Pi (pebi), and Ei (exbi).

RoX in Japan @ RRI & KUPAC: AI + dataspaces
Japan has long been a global leader in robotics, combining cultural influence with industrial strength as both a major user and producer of robotic technologies. Building on this foundation, the RoX initiative introduces a new paradigm in robotics by integrating physical AI with secure, interoperable data ecosystems. Presented through webinars with leading Japanese institutions—Kyoto University’s KUPAC and the Robot Revolution & Industrial IoT Initiative (RRI)—RoX highlights how next-generation robotics depends not only on hardware but on access to high-quality operational data governed through trusted dataspaces. By enabling collaboration across organizations while protecting intellectual property, RoX supports modular development, lifecycle integration, and improved industrial performance. Early demonstrations show tangible benefits in efficiency, adaptability, and quality, positioning RoX as a key step toward scalable, AI-driven robotics within global data-sharing ecosystems.
