But let me show you cutting-edge robotics. 现在我来介绍一下最高端的机器人技术。 Now a lot of robotics is very impressive, but manipulation robotics is really just in the dark ages. 如今许多项机器人技术已经相当厉害，可

So for example, if you put your hand under a table and try to localize it with your other hand, you can be off by several centimeters due to the noise in sensory feedback. 比如说，如果把一只手放在桌子底下，然后在桌子上面用另一

And the fundamental idea is you want to plan your movements so as to minimize the negative consequence of the noise. 话说回来，我们的基本思路是要找到一种动作方式，能够把杂音带来的负面影响降到最低。 And one intu

Quick question for you, Dan. So you're a movement -- (DW: Chauvinist.) -- chauvinist. 我问一个简短的问题。所以你是一个运动--（沃：沙文主义者。）--沙文主义者。 Does that mean that you think that the other things we th
