Question

in many cultures, a handshake can create trust between people. engineer joão avelino and his team are designing a robot to shake hands with a human in order to improve human - robot interactions. the robot hand adjusts its movements and pressure to better imitate the feel of a human hand. the researchers want the robots handshake to feel realistic because
which choice most logically completes the text?
choose 1 answer:
a people are less likely to interact with robots that dont look like humans.
b its easier to program a robot to perform handshakes than it is to program a robot to perform some other types of greetings.
c the robot in the researchers study may have uses other than interacting with humans.
d lifelike handshakes may make people more comfortable interacting with robots.

Explanation:

The text focuses on improving human - robot interactions by making a robot's handshake realistic. The logical connection is that lifelike handshakes would enhance people's comfort in interacting with robots. Option A is about the appearance of robots, not the handshake specifically. Option B is about the ease of programming handshakes compared to other greetings, which is not the main point. Option C is about other uses of the robot, not related to the importance of a realistic handshake for interaction.

Answer:

D. lifelike handshakes may make people more comfortable interacting with robots.
