I think what we will have is a bunch of things that good, effective robots need to satisfy, just like good smartphones need to have a touchscreen.

That's something that we all kind of agreed on.

And then a bunch of other stuff that's kind of optional depending on the need, depending on the cost point, et cetera.

And I think there will be a lot of innovation where once we have very capable AI systems that can be plugged into any robot to endow it with some basic level of intelligence, then lots of different people can innovate on how to get the robot hardware to be optimal for each niche it needs to be in.

Not right now.

Maybe there will be someday.

I would really like, maybe I'm being idealistic, but I would really like to see a world where there's a lot of heterogeneity in robots.

It's a tough question to answer, mainly because things are changing so fast.

I think that, to me, the things that I spend a significant amount of time thinking about on the hardware side is really more like reliability and cost.

It's not that I'm that worried about cost.

It's just that cost translates to

number of robots, which translates to amount of data.

And being an ML person, I really like having lots of data.

So I really like having robots that are low cost because then I can have more of them and therefore more data.

And reliability is important more or less for the same reason.

But I think it's something that we'll get more clarity on as things progress, because as we

Basically, the AI systems of today are not pushing the hardware to the limit.

So as the AI systems get better and better, the hardware will get pushed to the limit, and then we'll hopefully have a much better answer to your question.

Yeah.

So this is a very complex question.
