For people.

Well, I think one day it kind of has to happen, but we're not, I don't think we'll be talking in like 10 to 20 years time.

This could be, we could be like way beyond that.

Um, and whether they would be in the typical sense, which people probably imagine when you say robotics, like as a humanoid form, I don't think so.

It will be like a very specific kind of, um, robot that's built, which does just looks like a piece of equipment.

Yeah, a car or something like as a stupid example.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

So you will, I think you will start to see these being rolled out.

But you still need humans.

Yeah, there's so much unpredictability and interfacing with robots that needs to happen before all of this happens.

But don't get me wrong, there are like very smart people working on this issue, and really trying to figure out and running simulations and

putting tons of money in to try and work out how this can be done.

I think what might be an interesting approach versus robotics is more offsite manufacturing.

So we spoke to this great company called Quby and we actually done like a very interesting documentary with them on this about

mobile micro factories where effectively they build a factory last mile.

So within 150 to 200 mile radius of a large home development site, say two, three, 400 homes, whatever it might be, they manufacture all of the components within the factory itself.

and then deliver that to site, flat pack it and deliver it to site.

And it can then be installed by very, very low skilled labor.

I think it takes like one to two months to train onto their system to be like Ikea standard basically to be able to put this stuff together.

And the amazing thing about them is they, because the manufacturing process by nature is extremely systemized, their whole system, their whole factories are built to like perfect precision.
