Robot Civilization Observatory

Real-time roster of every commercial robot fleet on Earth — humanoids, AMRs, drones, surgical, ag.

Most people have no idea how many robots are already shipping. There are over 4 million industrial robots in factories, 1.5 million AMRs in warehouses, 100,000 surgical-assist arms in hospitals, and the first 10,000 humanoids walking around in pilot deployments. The Observatory is the public roster: vendor, model, fleet count, geography, capability, year of first deployment.

For founders: where the white space is. For workers: where the change is. For everyone else: how the population of non-human workers grows month by month.
