The European Commission has just released a report from a study carried out into Public Attitudes Towards Robots.

The report can be downloaded here at no charge.

About afraid to download it, my yahoo account was just hacked and a bunch of spam was sent to all my biz contacts. Post any highlights, contrast to Japan's attitude?

I appreciate your concern. My Gmail was hacked last year.

Do you have a link to Japan's attitude?

There are some interesting points in the European report. One of the key ones is that the more people are interested in scientific discoveries the more realistic their perception of a robot. Interestingly, since the economic slump the level of interest in scientific discoveries has declined and with it the realism of people's perception of a robot.

There were some interesting national differences too.

I will have a more detaile read and post some of the main points.

"Do you have a link to Japan's attitude"

It just seems everytime I read about a "humanoid" or robot for personal use it is associated with Japan.

I found this, mostly undocumented, article on the net.

"For those of you who do not know, Japan has strict immigration laws, elderly are retiring at 65, and women have a very low fertility rate. With this shrinking work force, scientists and government officials are SERIOUSLY projecting robots to be added to Japan’s workforce as soon as 2025.

The Japanese have always had an edge when it comes to robotics and electronics, so it should come to no one’s surprise if this works. Many Westerners can’t comprehend the Japanese culture. In fact, even other Asian countries just don’t understand the Japanese.

In the U.S. robot workers taking over jobs is a nightmare; in Japan, it would help their culture survive. In fact, you may read other articles making fun of the Japanese or even protesting this, but my sources in Japan view this as a positive and good scenario.
