A recent Eurobarometer study on robotics (see MEMO/12/667) revealed that more than two-thirds of EU citizens (70%) have a positive view of robots; the majority agree that robots "are necessary as they can do jobs that are too hard or too dangerous for people" (88%) and that "they are a good thing for society because they help people" (76%).
Hiljutisest robootikaalasest Eurobaromeetri uuringust (vt MEMO/12/667) nähtus, et rohkem kui kaks kolmandikku ELi kodanikest (70%) on robotitest heal arvamusel; enamik nõustub sellega, et robotid „on vajalikud, kuna nad suudavad teha töid, mis on inimeste jaoks liiga rasked või ohtlikud” (88%) ning et „nad on ühiskonnale abiks, kuna nad aitavad inimesi” (76%).
