dear designboom reader,

today's robots improve or substitute human actions in a variety of industries. in healthcare, they could revolutionize cancer treatment by delivering chemo drugs directly to cancer cells, or provide contactless care and tele-health solutions to the elderly and those isolated with COVID-19.

in the creative industry, robots assist by heavy lifting and precise positioning pieces in ETH zurich's 22.5-meter-tall architectural sculpture, or are used to surprise visitors in retail design, such as in GENTLE MONSTER's haus shanghai. read our interview with the south korean eyewear brand to find out more about their two-meter-high head robot here.

thanks for reading!
