How many humanoid robots by 2030? 2040? 2050

Based on what I am seeing I'll guess worldwide
-2030 105 thousand
-2040 1.5 million
-2050 6.5 million
-2060 15.5 million

Do you think it'll be under or over these numbers?

I think it'll be a few hundred thousand by 2030, not just 100K.

These will scale exponentially in the 2030s, so I'd expect tens of millions by 2040. Perhaps as many as 100 million.

The S-curve of adoption will probably have started to level off by around 2050. However, I'd still expect around a billion by then, and probably something like 2 or 3 billion by 2060.

15 million by 2060 seems like a massive underestimate. China alone will be making insane numbers of them. Many other countries will need androids to sustain their economies and fix demographic imbalances, etc.
