The team’s goal is to design a robot that can shake hands with a human, in order to improve human-robot interactions, and to make people feel more comfortable interacting with robots. But, the robot hand must also adjust its movements and pressure, to better imitate the feel of a human hand. What does this mean for the future of robotics?
","stem_html":"Which choice provides the most effective way to combine the underlined sentences into a single sentence?
","rationale_html":"The most effective way to combine the sentences is to use the conjunction "so" to show a cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
