John KoetsierHOST
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?

Evan BeardGUEST
Yeah, so this is another example of what I'm so proud of, which is really tightly integrated hardware, software, and AI.

Evan BeardGUEST
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.

John KoetsierHOST
Now they can basically order an arm and train it themselves and just get going.

Evan BeardGUEST
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.

Evan BeardGUEST
It'd be the equivalent of if you could fine-tune, like, ChatGPT without any kind of software engineering degree.

Evan BeardGUEST
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.

Evan BeardGUEST
So if you're a manufacturer today and you buy a robot arm, 99% of them are not made in this country.

Evan BeardGUEST
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.

Evan BeardGUEST
So making a robot arm that's super simple to use, like an iPhone-like experience.

Evan BeardGUEST
And the other problem is, Robot arms are so limited in what they can automate today.

Evan BeardGUEST
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.
