It's really the lack of the cognitive side that probably is the biggest barrier at the moment, even for the physically successful robots. But your question is, I mean, you can always do a thing that's more efficient, lighter, more reliable. I'd say reliability. I know that Spot, they've been working very hard on getting the the tail of the reliability curve up and they've made huge progress.

So the robots, you know, there's 1,500 of them out there now, many of them being used in practical applications day in and day out where, you know, where they have to work reliably. And, you know, it's very exciting that they've done that, but it takes a huge effort to get that kind of reliability in the robot. There's cost, too. You'd like to get the cost down.

Spots are still pretty expensive, and I don't think that they have to be, but it takes a different kind of activity to do that. Now that... I think that Boston Dynamics is owned primarily by Hyundai now, and I think that the skills of Hyundai in making cars can be brought to bear in making robots that are less expensive and more reliable and those kinds of things.

That's a good question. I think we're using the paradigm called stepping stones to moonshots. I don't believe, that was in my original proposal for the Institute, stepping stones to moonshots. I think if you go more than a year without seeing a tangible status report of where you are, which is the stepping stone, It could be a simplification.

You don't necessarily have to solve all the problems of your target goal, even though your target goal is going to take several years. Those stepping stone results give you feedback, give motivation, because usually there's some success in there. That's the mantra we've been working on. That's pretty much how I'd say Boston Dynamics has worked, where you make progress and show it as you go.

Show it to yourself, if not to the world.

Well, with Watch, Understand, Do, the project I mentioned before, we've broken that down into getting some progress with what is meaningfully watching something mean, breaking down an observation of a person doing something into the components, segmenting. You watch me do something. I'm going to pick up this thing and put it down here and stack this on it.
