Ask HN: Do you think humanoid robots will outnumber humans by 2035?

The projected world population by 2035 is around 8.9 billion. I don't know how many humanoid robots (capabilities undefined) we have today, but any we do have are not likely going to be in operation, but it has to be below 1 million, so let's just round down to 0 for simplicity's sake.

So someone's going to have to build just shy of 1 billion robots per year that can be robust enough to remain being operable 9 years later, starting now. What do you think?

Did you perhaps type a 0 when you meant to type a 2?

Absolutely not. Humanoids aren’t an ideal form for robotics in nearly every application. Not to mention the lack of progress in commercializing robots.

World population is estimated to be 8.9b in 2035. There won’t be 8.9m humanoid robots in active use at that point, I’d bet.

We don’t even have proper self-driving cars yet.

No
