Aim: What step examining in the positive assessment of the presence of robots on-the-job depends from the earlier contact with them on the example of the declaration of manual workers of countries of the European Union. If such a connection exists, it could mean that along with the course of the occurrence opinions of robots employed to the subject are changing on more beneficial.
Materials and methods: The Problem was analysed with using data collected in „Examining the Attitude public with regard to robots” which served for creating the indicator of the positive attitude to robots on-the-job considering replies to four questions about robots, as well as how they influence the work. Next an attitude towards robots was compared with information about the contact with them on the job.
Results: Previous experiences with work are correlated with the positive attitude to them of manual workers of the European Union.
Conclusions: Achieved results are suggesting that turning towards robots can condition not only individual characteristics of manual workers, but also factors associated with a place of employment, so as the earlier contact with work or the commitment to the process of designing them.
