And and and again, going to of of how did we decide to invest in this in this kind of company, I think, my partner, he he told me that we rejected their proposal, like, five times. Mhmm. And and so it took some time before we built the conviction because it was obviously way way ahead of things.

So we will see the next generations of both, sort of industry robots but also humanoids and those things is will go through a lot of change, I would say.
