In fact, in one of the pioneering works on the topic developed by Georg Graetz and Guy Michaels in 2015 and analyzing data from 17 advanced countries from 1993 to 2007, find that, as seen in the following image, where more increased "robotic density" (ie, the number of robots per million hours worked) Increased both labour productivity and added value per worker. So did the total productivity of the factors (TFP), as well as the average salaries of the workers. This increasingly accused use of robots leads them to estimate that the robotization has contributed more than one tenth to the added growth during those 15 years, a negligible figure.
