One of the areas in which technology is advancing rapidly is robotics. Building a humanoid robot controlled by artificial intelligence is the ultimate goal of a number of engineers. Many technology companies are spending fortunes to make this happen and capture a multi-trillion-dollar market to replace human workers with intelligent machines built in the human image. In this effort, one of the most difficult problems to solve has been building a robotic hand that rivals the dexterity and precision of the human hand.

The prophet Isaiah warned about the end of the age: “As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths” (Isaiah 3:12).
