CTA Study Finds Enthusiasm High for Using Robotics Technology in ‘Everyday Life’

Nearly half of U.S. adults have some familiarity with robotics technology, and 84 percent are eager to use it in “everyday life,” a CTA study found. CTA canvassed 2,000 adults online in late April and found 90 percent expressing appreciation for the convenience of products such as robotic vacuum cleaners. There's “widespread enthusiasm” for educational robotics, it said. Though few consumers reported firsthand interaction with robotics in the retail or hospitality sectors, 83 percent of those surveyed said they “would be open to using the technology for services such as in-store assistance and room service.”
