But US has to be the best in the world at figuring out how to use robots to make unfair advantages with these companies, whether it's oil and gas, whether it's-

A nervous system.

Gecko will be that.

That's exactly what we offer.

The nervous system to pull all this information from robots together.

And then you can build and use AI models on top of that to use the information data to then also begin to take actions back into the real world.

Yeah, that's exactly the roadmap for us.

But first, you have to figure out, like, what is the state of the built world?

What is the state of the health?

What sorts of actions should I take when it comes to repair?

What sorts of automated welding solutions, for example, are the right ones?

And which ones could use information about how well that weld was done?

As a feedback, you can create a foundation model for welding, being the best in the world at welding.

We're going to be the company that builds robots to both identify and then solve for the most important and highest ROI problems for the customers, whether they're manufacturing new assets or they're trying to operate and maintain existing ones.

Funny enough, I've been talking a lot about how do I reduce hazardous work hours for humans?

How do I extend the use life of assets for infrastructure?

How do I increase the capacity and production and prevent catastrophic failures from assets?

These are all very easy to underwrite problems.

And it's something that you don't hear roboticists or AI founders talk a lot about.

But that's my bread and butter.
