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.
That's the world I live in.
And I wear the steel toe boots to be able to understand the problems.
That's what's going to happen.
And then you want to be able to get the experience and the subject matter expertise to make sure the robot is actually understanding what are the sorts of ramifications if I do this action versus that action.
What we need to understand, too, is there's going to be a lot of teleoperations with mobile robots in particular.
And so you're going to have humans in the loop.
They might not be in the field as much.
They might be more in an AC building, being able to operate and build information and data to train the foundation model.
That's exactly right.
Well, I mean, the story of Gecko has been a story of building robots to help to reduce the barrier to entry of these jobs that sometimes take 10,000 hours to be great at and actually making it something you can attain within a few months of being able to use the technology in these fields.
And so whether it's manufacturing different parts and inspecting the quality of those parts or it's actually gathering information, data set,
understand what kind of decisions to make.
My goodness, you have a shortage of welders, you have a shortage of inspectors, you have a shortage of all these trades, and you have to be able to augment and take a Home Depot employee in a couple months, make them able to make $100,000, $150,000 running your robot, doing it safely.
And so that's an exciting, brave future.
