When we first built this robot, it was what's called classically controlled. And so engineers had to program every step of what the robot did. And when AI came on, it made it much faster and easier to teach it new skills. So that's been a real catalyst for the humanoid industry. And we'll continue to see leaps and bounds as our AI models get more and more powerful.
