#292 Brett Adcock - Shawn Ryan Meets a Humanoid Robot

And luckily, we have the world's best terahertz experts at Cover that are working every day on this, and they're really passionate.

They're probably not getting paid enough, and they're just super passionate about solving this problem.

And so anyway, I think the through line for covers, I think it'll work.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#292 Brett Adcock - Shawn Ryan Meets a Humanoid Robot

I think we'll be able to demonstrate it hopefully by end of this year.

Like we'll be able to say like, we'll have it at figure campus first and then we'll put it in like schools, like hopefully on the West Coast and maybe one or two and we'll see how it goes.

We don't want to think it's a gun, but it's a crayon box.

So we basically want to make sure we have low false positives around the whole system stack.

That's a really hard problem to solve, especially for us, where you can be partially occluded on certain areas.
