As haptics and force feedback evolve, how important is the sort of the ultra precise gearing that goes into providing that, that enables that surgeon experience that allow them to sort of, quote unquote, feel the tissue that they're working on?

It's very important because if you have any kind of backlash or lost motion in the system as you're trying to operate it, you're now missing your spot on the output side, on the end factor.

So this applies to even a pick-and-place type of unit where if you picture that here you are with a joystick trying to... pick something up, and you're trying to go to a certain spot, but you have lost motion, you have some backlash, you have trouble achieving what you're trying to do.

And in this industry, it's even more important than what you might see in other industries.

And as a result, I think medical device companies are able to learn lessons that have been experienced in other industries, right? Final question, what lessons from aerospace or semiconductor precision systems can surgical robotics learn from and maybe adopt more aggressively?

Well, it's certainly an industry that's growing and utilizing a lot of knowledge from other industries.

And it's a case where the lessons learned from the robotics field is being applied into new industries such as this one.

Specifically, there's probably a lot more behind the scenes than I'm aware of.
