Robot density for South Africa is a modeled estimate β€” South Africa is not currently in the IFR World Robotics dataset. Supercomputer count: TOP500 list, June 2026, refreshed automatically β€” a count of 0 means no system on the current list. AV-fleet figures are modeled estimates pending a live feed.

South Africa Automation Analysis

South Africa is not currently covered by the IFR World Robotics dataset, which tracks roughly 21 national markets. The robot-density figure shown for South Africa is therefore a modeled estimate, not a measured statistic, and should be read as indicative only.

On high-performance computing, South Africa has 1 system on the current TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers.

Note: the autonomous-vehicle fleet figure shown above is a modeled estimate β€” no authority publishes verified per-country AV fleet counts β€” and is excluded from the Automation Score, which uses only measured robot density and live signal activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does South Africa rank in automation?

South Africa ranks #44 of 53 countries on the Roboradar24 Automation Score, which anchors to measured IFR robot density and adjusts it by recent automation-signal activity.

How many robots are in South Africa?

South Africa is not covered by the IFR World Robotics dataset, so the figure shown (12 per 10,000 workers) is a modeled estimate.

Is South Africa's data live?

The automation signals on this page are scraped hourly and are genuinely live. IFR does not measure South Africa, so its robot-density figure is a modeled estimate, not a measured statistic.
