That is the art. Bringing metal to life or a machine to life is kind of... It was fun doing the dancing videos where it got a huge public response. We're going to do more. We're doing some at the Institute and we'll do more.

But I think sort of with it going back to the pieces of that, you design a linkage that turns out to be half the weight and just as strong. That's very satisfying. There are people who do that, and it's a creative act.

I think having the robots move in a way that's evocative of life is pretty exciting. So the elegance of movement. Or if it's a high-performance act where it's doing it faster, bigger than other robots. Usually we're not doing it bigger, faster than people, but we're getting there in a few narrow dimensions.

I mean, I'd like to do dancing that starts... You know, we're nowhere near the dancing capabilities of a human. We've been having a ballerina in who's kind of a well-known ballerina, and she's been programming the robot.

We've been working on the tools that can make it so that she can use her way of talking, you know, way of doing a choreography or something like that more accessible to get the robot to do things. And she's starting to produce some interesting stuff.

There is.

There is.

There is.

We hope to take that forward and make it more tuned to how the dance world wants to talk, wants to communicate, and get better performances. I mean, we've done a lot, but there's still a lot possible. And I'd like to have performances where the robots are dancing with people. So right now, almost everything that we've done on dancing is to a fixed time base.

So once you press go, the robot does its thing and plays that thing. It's not listening, it's not watching, but I think it should do those things.
