it doesn't feel that much like, well, there's some areas that feel like a playground, but it's not like they're all frolic together.

I think that, um, I don't think about competition that much. I'm not a commercial guy. I think for the many years I was at Boston Dynamics, we didn't think about competition. We were just kind of doing our thing. It wasn't like there were products out there that we were competing with. Maybe there was some competition for DARPA products.

funding, which we got, you know, got a lot of, got very good at, at getting, but even there, uh, in, in a couple of cases where we might've competed, we ended up just being the robot provider. That is for the little dog program. You know, we, we just made the robots. We didn't participate as developers except for developing the robot. And in the DARPA robotics challenge, we didn't compete.

We, uh, provided the robots. So, uh, In the AI world now, now that we're working on cognitive stuff, it feels much more like a competition. The entry requirements in terms of computing hardware and the skills of the team and hiring talent, it's a much tougher place. So I think much more about competition now on the cognitive side.

On the physical side, it doesn't feel like it's that much about competition yet. Obviously, with 10 humanoid companies out there, 10 or 12, I mean, there's probably others that I don't know about, they're definitely in competition, will be in competition.

I think there's a huge way to go. I don't think we've seen the bottom of it or the bottom in terms of lower prices. I think you should be totally optimistic that at Asymptote, things don't have to be anything like as expensive as they are now. Back to competition, I wanted to say one thing.

I think in the quadruped space, having other people selling quadrupeds is a great thing for Boston Dynamics. Because the question, I believe the question in the user's minds is, which quadruped do I want? It's not, oh, do I want a quadruped? Can a quadruped do my job? It's much more like that, which is a great place for it to be. Then you're just doing quadrupeds.
