Right.
And so, um, I, I, uh,
That's a big change for us.
And I think the tools we've built are really allowing that to happen quickly now.
Some of those motions that you saw in that most recent video, we were able to create in a matter of days.
It used to be that it took six months to do anything new on the robot.
And now we're starting to develop the tools that let us do that in a matter of days.
And so we think that's really exciting.
That means that
the ability to create new behaviors for the robot is gonna be a quicker process.
And to some degree, you don't wanna have to pay too much attention to each specific thing, right?
There's sort of a generalization here.
obviously when you grab a thing, you have to conform your hand, your end effector, to the surface of that shape.
But once it's in your hands, it's probably just the mass and inertia that matter.
And the shape may not be as important.
And so, in some ways, you want to pay attention to that detailed shape.
In others, you want to generalize it and say, well, all I really care about is the center of mass of this thing, especially if I'm going to throw it up on that scaffolding.
