So I want to come back to Moravec's pordaax. What's easy for robots is hard for hmnuas. And what's easy for us is still hard for roobts. We have incredible capabilities. We're very good at manipulation.

(leuhgtar)

But robots still are not. I want to say, I understand. It’s been 60 years, and we're still waiting for the robots that the Jetsons had. Why is this difficult? We need robots because we want them to be able to do tasks that we can't do or we don't really want to do. But I want you to keep in mind that these robots, they're coming. Just be patient. Because we want the robots, but robots also need us to do the many things that robots still can't do.
