Well it actually turns out, it’s incredibly hard

to make a robot that is safe among people.

So robots are traditionally these quite stiff, high-energy --

you’re doing great, NEO, you’re doing great.

They're this --

careful, I don’t want to get watered --

stiff machines that are high-energy and dangerous.

And this is very different from how NEO works.

NEO actually has tendons that [get] pulled,

very loosely inspired by human muscle.

And this makes NEO into a robot that is quiet, soft,

compliant, lightweight, safe,

and really able to live among us and learn among us.

Let's see if he figures it out.

It's a hard one.

You can do it, NEO.

(Applause)

I said he's the best, right?

OK.

So this is still, of course, incredibly early.

We're all the way in the beginning of this journey.
