We are very excited about this partnership with HII. They are a leader in the U.S. shipbuilding market and are very forward-thinking. They’re looking at the signals from the U.S. Navy and partnering with us to close that gap and accelerate the delivery of weapons to warfighters in the interest of national security.
00:16 Speaker A
So what we’re doing with GrayMatter robotics is that our technology is hardware agnostic. We deliver a combination of core physical AI technologies and combine them with industrial robots to deliver superhuman performance to America’s industrial base.
00:27 Speaker B
So, I’m imagining you, let’s take this, uh, let’s continue HII here. How far are we from deploying an army of a thousand humanoid robots just to say, “Okay, you guys can do whatever you want here.”
00:43 Speaker A
I think the future will be similar to Wally. Have you seen that cartoon?
00:46 Speaker B
Yes, yes, I love Wally.
00:47 Speaker A
wonderful. wonderful. So the future is going to look like Wally, right? This is because specialized robots are needed to perform specialized tasks at high speed, high payload, and high precision. Demonstrate superhuman performance. At the same time, we will also have a humanoid that performs some general operations. So what we’re delivering today is basically a complete AI stack of AI across all operations in manufacturing.
01:13 Speaker A
Robotics is a part of that, but there are many other engineering layers and disciplines that power the factory, and we provide domain agents. If you look at our portfolio, we’re creating this multi-tier architecture to provide super intelligence to the factory. And today we can actually do quite a bit. It’s a journey, it’s going to be a journey. As a society, we are in the early stages of introducing autonomous robots into factories.
01:36 Speaker A
And, from our perspective, it’s the best human-robot and AI team to deliver value today. And that team composition will change over time as the technology continues to mature. We have been delivering robots into production environments for the past five years. We deploy robots in 16 different industries in 20 U.S. states and 4 countries. And we have the largest manufacturing process process data set that allows us to build fundamental models of materials and processes, global models of manufacturing, and large-scale skill models for tool operations.
