00:00He got me!

00:26This is the psionic ability hand.

00:28It's made for both humans if you're missing a hand or on robots.

00:31And I can control it with these two buttons so I can shake hands with it.

00:35We can do different grips with it.

00:37We've gone paragliding with it.

00:38We've cracked eggs with it.

00:40We've flipped pancakes with it.

00:42Folded laundry.

00:44We've done dishes.

00:46And so all these household daily tasks,

00:48but also more extreme things like flaming board breaking

00:51where we had three wooden boards set it on fire

00:53and we had one of our users punch through it.

01:02I really believe that the humanoid will go to space first

01:05and then to the houses.

01:07Because it's much easier to operate such a machine

01:11in a different extraterrestrial environment.

01:14The house is the final frontier in the sense that

01:17it's so unstructured, so dynamic.

01:19It requires dexterous manipulation.

01:21It requires a level of skill that only humans have.

01:24So for a humanoid system, it is really the holy grave.

01:35Now we have three, four, five billion dollars circulating

01:38within the next 18 months in the humanoid global industry.

01:42This means that in 12 months, it's what we call in the United States

01:45make or break.

01:46It's either it happens or it doesn't happen.

01:49So I think that we're going to see in the next 12 months cracking

01:52problem after problem in assembly, in transportation,

01:57in moving logistics.
