                                    According to a recent research by Human Tech Center at SWPS University and NCBR Ideas in Warsaw, women in Poland have more negative emotions than men in Poland towards robots, it is easier for Poles to accept a humanoid robot, also Poles more willingly accept robots that provide a service and do not control them. Roomba anyone?
