According to which definition of ‘robot’?
Player’s choice. That idea is eschewed for hopes of an finding a community first estimate. Then either parring or adding from there.
I’m not convinced that there might not be more robots now than humans.
If its dealers choice there are almost certainly more robots than humans. Every washing machine, dishwasher, automatic garage door opener, and grill with an automatic rotisserie could be considered a robot, as they automate labor.
The definition I go by:
A robot is any machine that can manipulate or interact with the physical world.
A stricter definition could include “senses” and “decisions”, but it doesn’t need to be AI. It doesn’t even need to be electronic at all.
There are definitely more robots than humans.
yeah i think so, too. i think that automation should count.
Well we know in the year 1240 the answer was 0 and in 1241 it was 0. So we know that the number of robots is increasing at a rate of zero per year. If we follow that trend to today, we get 0 (robots in 1240) + 786 (years since 1240) * 0 (robots per year) = 0 robots in 2026.
Didn’t you know that in 1333 two robots from Mars have visited Earth?
as a full autonomous, just one, zuckerborg.
at least one
i would prefer not to use auction style estimates
If you aren’t going to define what a robot is, at least for this thread, you will get nothing but estimates based on feels.
im not wrong
Eleventy billion
I’m going to count that as (11*t)*1,000,000,000 and use it as a statistical bumper in the final analisis
Whose definition of robot are you using? Mechanical servant? Android? Self-navigating electronics?
Is an artificial limb a robot?
50 thousand give or take 10 thousand.
For me active means in motion, floating on water, where that motion (net of tides and currents) was exclusively caused by human operated oars or paddles.
The Danish navy re-floating a load of viking longships to prepare for WWIII does not count; due to the wind assistance.
Umpteen.
Since everyone but me is an npc, i’d say about 8.3 billion minus 1
Automotive industry uses lots of robots. There’s little manual work in the production of cars nowadays. I would guesstimate there are hundreds of thousands of robots.
