The European Commission recently released original data for its 27-country <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/news/dataset-eurobarometer-survey-public-attitudes-towards-robots">Eurobarometer survey on public attitudes towards robots</a>.

Key questions asked in this survey are whether people think robots steal jobs, what people's general view on
robots is and whether people have used a robot already. The survey was conducted in all 27 member states of the
 EU with 26,751 respondents taking part overall.
 It's a neat example of how Protobi can make it easy to explore the results of a complex full-length survey.
<h2 id="one-surprising-finding">One surprising finding</h2>
70.4% of Europeans "Totally agree" or "Tend to agree" that "Robots steal people's jobs."
At the same time, 78.9% percent
of Europeans "Totally agree" or "Tend to agree" that "Robots are a good thing because they help people" than the average respondent.

In fact, even among those respondents who agree "Robots steal people's jobs", still 75.2% agree "Robots are a good thing ..."
a small difference not statistically different:

<h2 id="structured-data-in-surveys">Structured data in surveys</h2>
This dataset has a lot of structure to it, typical of survey data. Questions are organized into related groups with
common instructions and scales (e.g. "Have you ever used a robot in the following settings?"). And they are further
organized at a higher level into survey sections.
So it makes a great case study for a <a href="http://protobi.com/tutorial/structuring-data"> tutorial showing how Protobi can
show this structure </a> to display the data concisely.
