I think they can reprogam this equipment and use it for national security purposes at the airport. Recently there was talk about people at airport security physically checking people, and touching in appropriately. Perhaps if a robot did the checking in a closed booth without a human directly looking at the physical aspect of the human, but only a monotor seeing possible contraband, it would make things more "proper", less a hassle.
Just a thought when I read this.

All the male robots immediately volunteered to do the exam for free.

I didn't bother reading the article or any of the responses, 33 at this moment, but I'm surprised so many FReepers are interested in hand robotry.

Just a thought when I read this. My thought when I read this: this technology would be readily transferrable to the Internet Pornography industry.

Life-saving breast examinations could soon be performed by a robotic hand that combines ultrasound with an artificial sense of touch. "Ooooh. Nice software!"

Is this necesary?
Millions in America have learned to do CPR and the Heinlich Maneuver, surely we can teach men and teenage boys to do breast exams.

There is certain to be a lawsuit against the Robot for excessive fondling,
and the lucky woman will end up owning this poor manipulated robot and abusing it
in the privacy in her own, Oh Dear, must I say where?

Ladies, don't forget your monthly breast exams. If you need help,
Cam has volunteered his services. (Funny TV ad)
