  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.
