N2 - The current world landscape in opinions and attitudes about robotics is highly variegated in different parts of the world. This landscape is a result of the sum of the effects of multiple factors, which date from millennia ago, as waves of philosophical thought, religion and historical events overlapped and allegedly influenced the concept of human and of the artificial. This paper provides a survey of such factors, and attempts to trace possible lines between causes and consequences. The analysis seems to indicate the presence of a West/East split which marks the main differences in intending the role of social agents, humanoids, transhumanism and labour automation.
