And then finally, like really finally, do you think you could just give us your five key takeaways from our entire conversation today and then maybe go into what you think the future of technology is in these next coming days? Yeah, big question. I'll try, I'll try to answer. I'll try to think of five things. Right. I think the first thing is that we when we're discussing robotics, like robotics is. Already here, it's just which new emerging peaceful like fall into place next, right? All of these things have envisioned for a long time, just key technologies emerged that suddenly like lock them into place where they're the right combination of the technology is ready and the market is ready and then they just fall into place. So when we're thinking about where robotics is going to emerge next, it's not like there's going to be some bang ways like I never thought before that you could have a robot that did X. No, probably someone tried to fail to do it 20 years ago and 10 years ago, five years ago, but maybe now, you know, the market is ready, you know, the cost of doing business has gone up, the technology has gotten better, and it'll just like fall into place. And that's where you see things pop onto the market is when that little extra piece lines up. The second thing that kind of comes out of this conversation with VR and XR, but I think it applies to AI as well, is that. There's technology out there that's advancing. It's cool, it's effective, but it doesn't necessarily meet all the requirements of the product market fit. It doesn't have a home yet, right? And there's a lot of companies that are going to rise and fall because they have a cool technology and a cool application, but they don't necessarily have a product market fit worked out that's ready for it, right? Especially in areas like AI. Where there's a low cost of entry, right? Like it's very easy to get started. It's very easy to get funding right now. It's very easy to sign yourself up for something that you're not going to be able to to succeed at from a market perspective. And so that's like an important take away is that like, you know, when we're looking at AI, it's not so different from what we saw in the VR AR field where you can build out great stuff for a long time and not actually gain traction if you're not careful. Uh. One of the other things I guess you know, is really interesting to me is that I think we're at a sort of very interesting point with humanoids. It's one of the reasons I joined Agility recently a year ago now is because I see it as potentially a place where some of these pieces are are locking into place. And to your point about home robotics, not having seen a lot of home robots for a lot of time, right, the piece that. Just falling into place is this manipulation and navigation in home environments while the diversity and it's being powered by AI, like the actual block that's letting us fall into place is this AI block that lets us generalize more broadly than before. And to our earlier conversation builds upon these core technologies that have sort of been locking themselves into place and all of these different venues like recommender systems, like speech assistants and so forth, the same field is now. Adding a new block which is embodied AI, and that's kind of where it gets really interesting. I think we will continue to see and this is no surprise, very strong adoption of automation in industry. You know, that's one of the places we deploy right now. It's never going away. It's definitely going to be an increased area of investment. And it's just, it has to be there because it's what's needed for all the things that we require of these supply chains like same day delivery and everyone getting exactly the packages they want with low error rates and still being able to support decreasing costs over time and being able to match the labor force that's available, right. The number of unfilled positions in the warehouse market has gone up. It's almost doubled in the past four or five years, which means that there's a lot of room. For automation. Well, I think that's four. Am I at 4? Is that right? But yeah, I would say 4, alright. And so that's fine. You don't have to if you can't do the 5th, this fight that was more force probably good. Yeah. Thank you for those. Thanks so much for joining us today as well. And thanks to all our viewers for tuning into this episode of the Exponential Edge podcast. And join us next time to learn about trends, businesses and people that will see exponential adoption in the future. Thanks, press.
