Robot density: IFR World Robotics 2024 (via Our World in Data), refreshed automatically. Supercomputer count: TOP500 list, June 2026, refreshed automatically — a count of 0 means no system on the current list. AV-fleet figures are modeled estimates pending a live feed.
Taiwan's industrial robot density reached 302 robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers in 2024, up from 294 in 2023 — a 2.7% year-over-year increase. That places it #8 of 53 countries we track. Both figures come directly from IFR World Robotics via Our World in Data.
On high-performance computing, Taiwan has 11 systems on the current TOP500 list of the world's most powerful supercomputers.
Taiwan and Switzerland swapped places in IFR's 2024 robot-density figures. Taiwan rose from 294 to 302 industrial robots per 10,000 manufacturing workers; Switzerland fell from 302 to 294, the mirror image. That moves Taiwan to eighth of the 53 countries on this site, five robots behind the United States (307).
The rise itself was small. Taiwan's 2.7% is the lowest growth of the 18 IFR-measured countries whose density increased in 2024 (Switzerland's was the only decline). It is also the slowest of the five Asian economies IFR measures here: South Korea grew 20.6%, China 16.9%, Japan 6.4% and Singapore 6.2%. The Netherlands, up 11%, now sits nine robots behind Taiwan at 293. Taiwan's density is about a quarter of South Korea's 1,220 and two-thirds of Japan's 446.
The reports Roboradar24 filed for Taiwan centre on one policy. In April 2026, Taiwan announced a $629 million plan to fund local robotics startups, launched alongside a national robotics centre; four distinct stories cover it. Other items in the record include the Taiwan–Silicon Valley startup Anvil Robotics (April) and a robotics foundation model shown at NVIDIA GTC Taipei (June).
On supercomputing, Taiwan has 11 systems on the June 2026 TOP500 list, joint ninth with the United Kingdom. That is fewer than South Korea (19) but more than Singapore (7).

Note: the autonomous-vehicle fleet figure shown above is a modeled estimate — no authority publishes verified per-country AV fleet counts — and is excluded from the Automation Score, which uses only measured robot density and live signal activity.
Automation, robotics and AI developments detected in Taiwan by our Signal Engine, which scans industry press and news feeds hourly. Showing the 8 most recent of 18 tracked for Taiwan.
Taiwan ranks #8 of 53 countries on the Roboradar24 Automation Score, which anchors to measured IFR robot density and adjusts it by recent automation-signal activity.
