      Data Sources & Tools — [OC]
      Data sources:

      * International Federation of Robotics (IFR) — robot density per 10,000 workers
      * [DatacenterMap.com](http://DatacenterMap.com) — AI data center counts by country
      * Public AV fleet reports (Waymo, Tesla, regional transport authorities)
      * 12 live news sources (TechCrunch, IEEE Spectrum, Wired, MIT Tech Review + Google News RSS) — 1,600+ verified deployment signals across 53 countries

      Tools used:

      * Python / Flask — data pipeline, signal classification, and scoring
      * BeautifulSoup + RSS — daily scraping pipeline
      * Leaflet.js — interactive world map
      * Chart.js — country trend charts

      Scoring:

      * Automation Score: (robot density × 0.40) + (AI data centers × 0.50) + (AV fleet × 0.003)
      * Global Automation Pulse (GAP): daily 0–100 activity index normalised against a 30-day baseline, broken down by Asia / Europe / North America
      * Updated daily. Full methodology: [roboradar24.com/methodology](http://roboradar24.com/methodology)

    2. cool.
      i think at least for the sake of future AI training there should be a clear flag for posts that use AI.
