Zero.

You haven't.

It's right.

And then sometimes you'll see them doing some tasks, maybe folding some laundry.

But if you look closely, as my wife says, this is not acceptable.

So that's what I'm getting at, which is these are very subtle skills.

And we know that robots could do them with very simple grippers.

And the existence proof for that, Sean, is robot surgery.

And I really want to make it clear.

People say, well, a robot took out my daughter's appendix.

Well, that was a robot operated by a human.

So there's a human driving that robot.

Now, the robot tools were very simple, just two grippers, but they could do incredible things when there's a human behind the wheel.

But if you try and take the human out of the loop, as we've tried to do in our lab, then everything becomes much more difficult.

Do you see people in this field of robotics asking often if something should be done, or is it mostly just questions of if something could be done?

That's a very good, very deep question.

And I think most of the engineers, the world I live in, people are asking if it can be done.

I do have some concerns, certainly about robots being used as weapons.

You know that that's changed the landscape of warfare all over the world right now.

And there's some very deep questions.
