I'll start from the back end of the question.
Who's winning the race today outright is China. China has registered 50 to 150 humanoid robotics companies. The advancements in humanoids in the past five years are all down to artificial intelligence. They are all down to edge computing with neural networks doing end-to-end communication. China's leading because, if we are not aware, China's going to have a birth rate drop-off that is going to make Japan's look like it was not an issue, and China's going to backfill that drop-off in birth rate with automation, period.
I think we all understand how we have things work economically, and there is a global race. The U.S. is behind, at 20 to 25 companies. Canada currently has two companies registered that are building humanoids. Our objective with our project, similar to when I built and worked on Canada's first electric vehicle, is to build a foundation so we can compete on a sovereign level globally, where we're not, as Canadians, having to buy Chinese products or U.S. products but rather buying Canadian products to service our own industries.
