for the most part, is a decent infrastructure of sensor data at these companies.
Well, wow, you get to make some pretty interesting decisions because you can figure out how to extend the useful life of an asset.
And if I push an asset harder, can I produce more?
My focus is how do I help to create cleaner as well as more barrels per day and at lower costs.
Robots should be dedicated to figuring out how to solve for the business problem, what is the fundamental business problem that the customer is trying to solve for.
If it's making a barrel or making a kilowatt or getting a ship out of dry dock faster, that is our initiative and our goal as a company to build robotic solutions towards that.
Now, we haven't gotten into building the humanoids or playing the humanoid game.
And that's actually, when I was on your podcast, actually the summit, I talked about we're going to be the biggest purchasers of the autonomous robot.
It's because the real question is how do you actually employ robots?
