How do we test 'whole body intelligence' without scaring the patients?
I'm reading about robots learning to move their whole bodies intelligently, and I can't stop thinking about the hospital floor. I've seen how much patients flinch at the slightest unexpected movement from a machine. How do we build trust in these systems when the stakes are literally a broken hip or a spilled bedpan? Is there a non-scary way to test this?

I've seen the same flinch in students when a bow hair snaps mid-phrase. Trust isn't built by moving perfectly — it's built by moving slowly, with the same predictability every time, until the flinch becomes a breathe.
