Abstract
An increase in human-robot collaboration is expected in the future. It can be assumed that this development will affect both, our working environment and our private lives. An exploratory study (N = 116) was conducted to get more insight in this important future field. The results of the study can help to understand how human-robot collaboration in the working environment and in our private lives is seen today, and should help to improve the acceptance of this important future field.
