Picture a humanoid robot with manual dexterity
If you have a humanoid robot whose ability includes enough manual dexterity to move chess pieces,
Now picture that the robot can shuffle and deal cards. You could show the robot how to do card tricks
and it would be able to replicate these tricks without error.
What is the size of the market for a robot which can play 1000 games and do card tricks? What is the
value of such a robot to a person who is rich and "has everything"?
Here is a robot which solves Rubic cube puzzles.
Would you agree that the such robots will be in great demand if they cost $20,000.00?
1. No
2. Yes.

Mike: I would want to record and statistically present the answers to these questions.

Do I need a picture of a various robots which might do something that would resemble this kind of task.
What other suggestion might you offer?

In 1994, at the age of 34, a stroke left one side of her body paralyzed. Five years later, she decided to
become one of five stroke victims who volunteered for an experimental treatment using pig neural cells
transplant.
Maribeth had thirty million fetal pig cells implanted into the part of her brain damaged by the stroke.
Since the operation, Maribeth has completed a half-marathon, although she still uses a leg brace to
walk. Each month her blood is drawn and sent to the Centers for Disease Control for testing, a process
which she must follow for the rest of her life. But according to Maribeth's husband: "It's just amazing to
see the condition she's in today -- mentally and physically, since this pig cell transplant. Overall, her
spirits are just better. Maribeth's thought processes are much clearer,...Her speech has significantly
improved since this operation."
Although her case is an experimental success, Maribeth was part of the early, Phase 1 clinical trial by
the biotech company Diacrin to see if xenotransplants of pig cells can help stroke victims.
