Um, what about you, Daryl? What is the one most, what is the one coolest thing that you have met?

Daryl LooGUEST
Ju- just to say that I haven't had a chance to sit in one of those robotaxis that Yoon Tian mentioned, so definitely that's the first thing that I'm gonna do when I get back to China, uh, hopefully soon.

Daryl LooGUEST
For me personally, what has impressed me about China robotics in the recent years is not so much about, you know, their dancing robots or, you know, all the kung fu fighting, marath- marathon running humanoids that, that, that, you know, a lot of us have read about or, or seen on TV.

Daryl LooGUEST
As I mentioned, I was in the healthcare industry, so I got, uh, many opportunities to visit our f- uh, our factories in Jiangsu where they were actually making cancer treatments for, to deliver to global markets.

Daryl LooGUEST
I noticed what really surprised me the first time I visited was that I hardly saw any workers around.

Daryl LooGUEST
Uh, you know, from, you know, making, formulating the chemicals, you know, to making the pills and then to packing them into boxes and actually printing and then pasting the, the, the, the pill boxes, you know, with the labels.
