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 through a realistic handshake. A realistic handshake would likely make people more at ease when interacting with robots, which is a logical reason for wanting a realistic handshake. Option A is about the appearance of robots, not the handshake. Option B is about programming difficulty of different greetings, not relevant to the reason for a realistic handshake. Option C is about other uses of the robot, not related to the importance of a realistic handshake for human - robot interaction.

Answer:

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