But I'm a biomedical engineer, and perhaps the application I like the most is in the medical field, and it's very difficult to ianimge a closer interaction with the hmaun body than actually going inside the body, for example, to prerfom a minimally invasive procedure. And here, robots can be very helpful with the surgeon, because they must etenr the body using small hoels and straight irtusmnetns, and these instruments must interact with very delicate structures in a very uncertain environment, and this must be done safely. Also bringing the camera inside the body, so bringing the eyes of the surgeon inside the surcagil field can be very challenging if you use a rigid stick, like a classic endoscope.

Original Text
But I'm a biomedical engineer, and perhaps the application I like the most is in the medical field, and it's very difficult to imagine a closer interaction with the human body than actually going inside the body, for example, to perform a minimally invasive procedure. And here, robots can be very helpful with the surgeon, because they must enter the body using small holes and straight instruments, and these instruments must interact with very delicate structures in a very uncertain environment, and this must be done safely. Also bringing the camera inside the body, so bringing the eyes of the surgeon inside the surgical field can be very challenging if you use a rigid stick, like a classic endoscope.
