Robot Density & Job Displacement Simulator

Robot density — installed industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers — is the actual metric the International Federation of Robotics uses to compare countries, from South Korea's 1,000 down to the USA's 274. This simulator turns that single number into a working factory floor: a saturating substitution model converts density into an automation share, then into an output multiplier, a share of jobs directly displaced, and a smaller share of new technician roles created to run the robots. Drag the density slider or pick a real country preset, tune how aggressively automation substitutes for labor versus complementing it, or press play to watch density climb along a logistic adoption curve from 2015 to 2035 while a 144-station instanced factory grid re-mixes itself between robot arms and human workers in real time.
