So yeah, that's about to get actually released in the next few weeks as well.
Yeah.
So I guess there's two points.
One, it's as a provider, it's our responsibility really to make sure that we choose the right index.
So in that product,
we want to target this thematic of robotics and automation artificial intelligence you know there was a few different index choices that we had available um we chose robo global in this case because we felt it was the best representation to target this theme it was one that you know we talked about active and having analysts etc the actual robo global index has a team of analysts
They have a research team underlying that create this universe and identify these different themes.
You know, they actually rely upon, I think it's about 10 or 15 robo strategic advisors.
And these advisors are people like, you know, Daniela Roos, who basically heads up the robotics
area at MIT, or the founder of the Kiva system.
And the Kiva system is what is now Amazon Robotics.
So that's Rafael D'Andrea.
So he's now, I think, part of a think tank out in Europe.
And he's producing robots that can play table tennis with each other.
But these people are at the cutting edge of essentially this area.
And they're identifying and feeding back into the analysts and the research team for RoboGlobal
What is the next area that needs to be considered or say within 3D printing?
They should be looking at not retail 3D printing, but commercial 3D printing because that is where the most developments are being made in terms of that automation side or artificial intelligence side.
So they're able to leverage that expertise.
So for us, it was a case of, well, we don't want to just pick up something off the shelf.
