Czech Republic anticipates growing integration of robots in work and home

Public sentiment in the Czech Republic shows a growing acceptance of robotics in both professional and domestic settings. A majority of the population expects robots to enter Czech companies within the next decade, with 13% anticipating deployment within five years. While most people are open to robotic assistance with household chores—particularly cleaning—there is near-universal resistance to allowing robots to care for pets.

In the industrial sector, humanoid robots are transitioning from laboratories to practical applications. Current opportunities are most prominent in logistics, where they can perform tasks humans may avoid or where automation is more cost-effective. Humanoid models from companies like Unitree are already being utilized in service roles, such as hotel receptions, while quadrupeds from manufacturers like Agibot are being integrated into agro-industry tasks, such as cleaning poultry farms.

Market interest is currently driven by universities, research institutions, and companies looking to gain a competitive edge in automation. While the technology is advancing, many citizens remain uncertain about the exact timeline of integration due to a lack of direct personal experience with humanoid machines.
