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.
How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ?

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.

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.

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.

According to which definition of ‘robot’?

Players choice.

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.
