I mean, a robot doesn't know the way you and I know necessarily that to reach this thing, I have to go there, move my arm to such as how does locate work?
3:28
Yeah, so this is another example of what I'm so proud of, which is really tightly integrated hardware, software, and AI.
3:33
And traditionally, just speaking about how it's done today, if you want to put a camera on a robot, it is an engineering task.
3:39
You have to go and figure out the right camera to use.
3:41
You've got to buy the robot.
3:43
You've got to integrate them together.
3:45
That can take...
6:20
Now they can basically order an arm and train it themselves and just get going.
94:28
Yeah.
94:29
Yeah.
94:29
No, so we-- Our whole focus is training through demonstration.
94:32
So we have made, made it so that an average assembly worker or manufacturing worker can train a robot, and with our next software release, they can train an AI model too.
94:40
And so this is, um...
94:43
It'd be the equivalent of if you could fine-tune, like, ChatGPT without any kind of software engineering degree.
94:48
And we make it so simple and easy to show a robot what it is you want it to do and then have the robot go and do it on its own.
95:37
... across their whole, uh, fleet."
34:28
Okay, our first deal.
34:31
So if you're a manufacturer today and you buy a robot arm, 99% of them are not made in this country.
34:37
And what we're setting out to do is make an American-made arm that's easier to use because the products today are arcane.
34:42
It's like 80s mainframe software.
34:45
So making a robot arm that's super simple to use, like an iPhone-like experience.
34:48
And the other problem is, Robot arms are so limited in what they can automate today.
34:52
So we've made an experience where you can demonstrate a task to a robot arm, physically do it with your hands, either through VR or through a handheld device.
