A Robotic Hand at Supermarkets – level 1

24-02-2017 07:00

There is a vision for shopping in the future: a robotic hand. The hand picks fruit in an online supermarket.

A technology team in the UK makes the robotic hand. The team makes it from rubber. The hand does not break fruit.

People pick fruit in the online supermarket. They sometimes break it. The robot is perfect. It never breaks the fruit. The team wants to make a robotic hand that picks all of the goods in the online supermarket.

The hand is only one part of robotic activity in supermarkets. The company already has a supermarket with robots near London.

Difficult words: vision (a new idea), robotic (related to robots), rubber (a soft material).
