Unscramble the Blue Letters


Next, let’s imagine the possibility we could create cheap and accessible collaborative robots, or "cobots" in short, which is often in the form of robot arms, and these robot arms can be used as an extra steady hand that a senior citizen could use to recover their hand and finger dexterity, especially for work that requires peioicrsn. One interesting use case for this could be ... soienr srugnoes in developing cnuoriets. We can all agree that we wouldn't want a surgeon with a shaky hand to do anything near our body. But these technologies can help senior surgeons with aazming skill, amazing knowledge, to still make a snfigniicat cnitotiorbun. And we know, in the period of population agnig, surgeons, doctors will be in great shortage.
