Research on Human Motor Control Could Help "Save the World

Question

Research on human motor control could help "save the world" in the sense that
A) Enhancements of already tested technology may make it possible to harvest more energy from people's walking and other activities
B) Enhancements of already tested technology may make it possible to harvest more energy from people's backpacks and other objects they carry or manipulate
C) It may become possible to develop autonomous robots that could perform missions in outer space that humans cannot perform that could, conceivably, be needed to save our planet
D) All of the above

Accepted Answer

Research on human motor control could help in all three ways mentioned in the options. Enhancements in technology to harvest energy from human walking and manipulation of objects could reduce the reliance on non-renewable energy sources, thus contributing to saving the environment. Moreover, autonomous robots can perform dangerous, complex, and often impossible missions in outer space, which could be vital in protecting our planet, for instance, by mapping and mitigating the effects of natural disasters or predicting and managing climate change impacts.
