Like, small kids can't do this.
Like, it takes adults to kind of do, like, this level of work.
And we need that all done in a mechanical system that doesn't have any humans around for maybe most of this, that does it autonomously and not makes any mistakes.
And then, like your fan mentioned, like, we have to do it safely over time.
It's just, man, it's just an incredibly complex problem.
I think for us, we have a safety strategy, both intrinsically, we want the robot hardware and the robots around humans to just be safe at all times.
And separately, there's a bunch of semantic safety and other things that we have either put in place or are putting in place now to make the robot just work safe in the environment.
If you have a candle at home, you don't want the robot to accidentally knock it over.
That's like an intelligence thing in a lot of ways.
Or there's a boiling pot of water, making sure we're very safe around it.
And then there's the intrinsic safety of making sure this mechanical thing in your house is safe around everybody around it.
I think the direct answer is there's still a lot of wood chop of getting this thing to a point where it's like, we trust it to be autonomous next to my kids all day long in my house.
You have one in your house?
We've had many robots now throughout my house in testing for the last year or so.
And I've had them kind of near my kids in some aspects, but we're always monitoring it.
Man, they like, it's just like kind of normal for them now.
Yeah, talk to it.
Yeah, they want to like, they want to go, they want to go like, they want to go like jump on it and touch it.
And, you know, and do kids things, you know what I mean?
Like they want to go touch it and talk to it and be around it.
