What US metro markets have the highest densities of industrial robots, as measured by robots per thousand manufacturing workers?

Midwestern and Southern towns dominate the list, almost certainly due to the heavy deployment of robots seen in the auto sector. Number 1 Toledo, for example, has a major Jeep plant in the city.
But other top 10ers, such as Grand Rapids, has a lot of manufacturing but not that much in automotive.
