blog post recently about how Foxconn is looking to automate 30 percent of their
最近的博客文章介绍了富士康如何寻求实现 30% 的自动化
workforce in the next three years I think they have a million employees
未来三年的劳动力 我认为他们有 100 万员工
right so that's 300,000 people that might lose their jobs due to automation
是的，有 300,000 人可能会因自动化而失业
the hope obviously is that things are growing right it's not a zero-sum game
显然，我们希望事情能够顺利发展，这不是一场零和游戏
and so why are they losing jobs they're gonna be replaced by robotics they send
那么为什么他们会失去工作，他们会被他们派来的机器人取代
a low-cost option essentially and now robots are the low-cost option you can

few trends that are converging robots are becoming a lot cheaper is so just
融合机器人变得越来越便宜的趋势很少如此
focusing on the hardware side first we actually use a collaborative robot you
首先关注硬件方面我们实际上使用的是协作机器人
are 10 it's called and this is a $35,000 robot so depending on your perspective
是 10 它是一个价值 35,000 美元的机器人，所以取决于你的观点
that's either really expensive or really cheap it's cheap if you're used to

able to just kill you honestly if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time so
如果你在错误的时间出现在错误的地点，他就能诚实地杀死你
these are designed to accommodate that by you know they have force sensing and
这些设计是为了适应您知道它们具有力感应和

00:02
00:02
stuff like that so they don't hurt people this started as a research trend in
诸如此类的东西，这样它们就不会伤害人们，这最初是作为一种研究趋势
Boston with this company called rethink robotics and they released their first

arm in like 2011 so not only did the price come too
就像2011年那样，不仅价格也来了
but they also kind of got easier to integrate into the workplace you can

actually train them now just by like taking an arm and dragging it to a place
实际上现在就训练它们，就像拿起一只手臂并将其拖到一个地方一样
and saying like move here and like move here well go into that a little bit
说喜欢搬到这里，喜欢搬到这里，我们稍微讨论一下
deeper because we talked about it when you were giving me the tour like I'm
更深入，因为当你像我一样带我参观时我们讨论过它
very curious about how you actually program an arm there are so many
非常好奇你实际上是如何对手臂进行编程的，有这么多
different ways the software side of it I think is the other interesting part of

talk to this even more but there's kind of like software of old with robotics
更多地谈论这个，但有一种类似于机器人技术的旧软件
which is very rigid and structured and focused around safety and then there's
这是非常严格和结构化的，并且注重安全
like software of new which is all five years old or less and most of that has

more about what we've been planning on doing here yeah I mean the the
更多关于我们在这里计划做什么的事情是的，我的意思是
cooperative arms are really nice because even before you get to the level of we
合作手臂真的很好，因为即使在你达到我们的水平之前
need to integrate Ross to add vision or something else like that the you are 10

is actually at the point where you just pop open a socket and send it some ascii
实际上就是你只需打开一个套接字并向其发送一些ascii
commands and you have it moving around immediately so the interface there is
命令，你让它立即移动，所以那里的界面
really easy and actually we've been able to treat most of our robotics projects

people in with robotics automation experience who can sort of handle or
具有机器人自动化经验的人可以处理或

00:04
00:04
think about the corner cases more and things like recovering from failure but

as far as getting a prototype together it's basically just a software project
就制作原型而言，它基本上只是一个软件项目
okay and so to make this more clear like how are you guys actually integrating

robots because you know on the surface you're doing 3d printing and those are
机器人，因为表面上你知道你正在做 3D 打印，而这些是
confined boxes so why do you need arms 3d printers are robots I'm just gonna
密闭的盒子所以你为什么需要手臂 3D 打印机是机器人我只是要
say definition ok we're definitely adding adding more to

00:05
00:05
you know 160 3d printers so it's not one-armed tending one machine like I
你知道 160 台 3D 打印机，所以它不像我一样用一只手看管一台机器
think you tend to see in the traditional deployment of this technology we have
您认为您倾向于在该技术的传统部署中看到我们有
one arm tending fifty or a hundred machines so it's very valuable to us
一只手臂照顾五十或一百台机器，所以这对我们来说非常有价值
essentially to be able to to do something like this with the arm okay
基本上能够用手臂做这样的事情
and so why have you guys opted for the machines the 3d printers that you've
那么为什么你们选择了 3D 打印机呢？
gone with we we use big about replicator twos we use them because we know they
随着我们的使用，我们使用大量的复制器二元组，我们使用它们，因为我们知道它们
work and we we actually used to work at MakerBot the manufacturer of the printer
工作，我们实际上曾经在打印机制造商 MakerBot 工作
and so when we were there we obviously got a lot of experience with these

they're kind of older technology at this point so we're definitely looking to
目前它们是一种较旧的技术，所以我们肯定会寻求
integrate the next thing pretty soon mm-hmm and because they're like so
很快就会整合下一个东西，因为它们就像这样
people understand the landscape there's a whole range or 3d printers right like
人们了解情况，有全系列或 3D 打印机，就像
in the past I mean when did it start like 20 years ago people started doing
过去，我的意思是从什么时候开始，就像 20 年前人们开始做的那样

00:06
00:06
3d printing 83 I think was like the first like patent around 3d printing so
3D 打印 83 我认为这就像第一个围绕 3D 打印的专利，所以
in the past 30 years expensive printers like $100,000
过去30年昂贵的打印机大约10万美元
printers the cheapest printer was maybe like $20,000 printers have been the name
打印机 最便宜的打印机可能是 20,000 美元 打印机已经被称为
of the game and these are all used for prototypes starting in around 2007 those

original patents expired and people started developing desktop printers
原始专利到期，人们开始开发桌面打印机
which is what really spurred the 3d printing explosion of like 2012 and fall
这才是真正刺激 3D 打印在 2012 年和秋季爆发的原因
from maybe you know there was kind of this curve of like oh my god we're
也许你知道有这样一条曲线，就像天哪，我们是
really excited about 3d printing everything is going to be 3d printed
对 3D 打印感到非常兴奋，一切都将被 3D 打印
then the reality set in there's a lot of work that needs to be done before we're

details are handled right now by software that's been developed over the
详细信息现在由开发的软件处理
last 10 20 years and when you guys are programming your larger cool or arm are

to be had there I think we we had an intern working on
我想我们有一个实习生在那里工作

00:09
00:09
on that project over the summer and I think just at the end he discovered some
整个夏天他都在研究这个项目，我想就在最后他发现了一些
simulation tools and yes basically you can you can get a simulation that shows

definitely some robot arms that are meant to like grab objects and they have
肯定有一些机器人手臂是用来抓取物体的，而且它们有
fingers and they're slow they're not the best there's probably two two movements
手指，它们很慢，它们不是最好的，可能有两个两个动作
when it comes to like grippers in the robotics world there's the hard you know
当谈到机器人世界中的抓手时，你知道有什么困难
rigid like one or two AXI actuators and then there's the soft grippers so the

bit cooler so there there are two paths there's the research path which is
有点酷，所以有两条路，其中一条是研究路
probably more interesting for the intellectual folks who like to think
对于喜欢思考的知识分子来说可能更有趣

00:13
00:13
about problems that have been solved yet and then there's the industrial

to do where you want to give an agent a video feed like a human would get and
执行您想要向代理提供像人类一样的视频源的操作
try to get it to learn to do something I you know all of the approaches are kind
尝试让它学会做某事我你知道所有的方法都是友善的
of as far as I could tell somewhat similar to what general research is
据我所知，与一般研究有些相似
doing so if you have to come across something incredibly different and weird
如果您必须遇到一些非常不同和奇怪的事情，请这样做
but I'm eager to find it and help that person get their paper published if they
但我渴望找到它并帮助那个人发表他们的论文，如果他们
have if they're listening to this podcast now yeah well what are the
如果他们现在正在听这个播客，那么有什么
approaches people are using because I don't think it's I mean AI is obviously

people who want to understand yeah and and I'm sure they're there folks
想要理解的人是的，我相信他们就在那里
that are significantly more expert in this than me but the rough idea is even
他们在这方面比我更专业，但粗略的想法是

00:15
00:15
beyond a simulation in reality which what you're doing is you set up a camera
除了现实中的模拟之外，你所做的就是设置一个相机
and you use you know about the 2014-15 technology that we we've uncovered as a
你使用你知道的 2014-15 技术，我们发现了作为
species which is we've managed to teach computers how to look inside images to
我们已经成功教会计算机如何查看图像内部的物种
get a general understanding of what the agent is looking at and then you'll
大致了解代理正在查看的内容，然后您将
traditionally you'll have you know ideally a human performance ask so you
传统上，您会理想地了解人类的表现要求，以便您
know you're moving a ball from one hand to another or you moving a ball from one
知道您正在将球从一只手移至另一只手，或者将球从一只手移至另一只手
point to another and then there's kind of two sinner
指向另一个，然后就有两个罪人
here there's one we're totally on a free-form basis the robot arm will try
这里有一个我们完全在自由形式的基础上机器人手臂会尝试的
to do the same exact thing and it's just trying to emulate what the human hand
做同样的事情，它只是试图模仿人手的动作
saw there's another approach which is that the robot arm has some type of goal
看到还有另一种方法，那就是机器人手臂有某种类型的目标
function that it is looking to maximize and so it kind of flails around and
它希望最大化的功能，所以它有点摇摆不定
realizes okay like randomly moving around in space bad idea because that's
意识到就像在太空中随机移动一样是个坏主意，因为那是

00:16
00:16
not increasing my goal function you know touching this ball seemingly
没有增加我的目标函数你知道似乎触摸这个球
slightly better you know moving this ball across the coordinates of the right
稍微好一点，你知道将这个球移动到右侧的坐标上
place even better and so in particular this is done with things that where you
地方甚至更好，所以特别是这是通过你所在的地方完成的
could measure very clearly the objective function like unscrewing a cap from a
可以非常清楚地测量目标函数，就像拧开盖子一样
bottle and then you basically try to match those two things together into an
瓶子然后你基本上尝试将这两个东西匹配在一起
end-to-end system as far as I can tell this at a truly end-to-end system you
据我所知，这是一个真正的端到端系统
know that the works in the physical world I don't think has been
知道我认为物质世界中的作品并没有被
demonstrated by anyone yet but but I may be wrong
已经被任何人证明过，但我可能是错的
there was one gnarly unnamed research lab that had a just a goal Maximizer
有一个粗糙的无名研究实验室，它的目标只有一个：Maximizer
robot arm I think with a bottle cap and this thing was it wasn't even given any
机器人手臂，我想是带着瓶盖的，这东西甚至没有给它任何东西
image priors it was just he'll try to unscrew the cap and so the arm which is
先验图像只是他会尝试拧开盖子，因此手臂是
quite strong is flailing around trying to unscrew the cap and it's it's not
相当强劲，正在尝试拧开盖子，但事实并非如此

00:17
00:17
smart it's just trying to unscrew the cap you know don't don't blame it and
聪明，它只是想拧开盖子，你知道，不要责怪它，
then apparently the store so the server is told it grabs onto a researchers arm
然后显然是商店，所以服务器被告知它抓住了研究人员的手臂
and it's like oh let me try to squeeze in screws okay that's not working
就像哦，让我尝试拧入螺丝，好吧，这不起作用
I said no harm was done but I think it's an interesting example to how a I true
我说没有造成任何伤害，但我认为这是一个有趣的例子，说明了我是如何做到这一点的
AI could be actually like not evil pretty harmless it's just doing this
人工智能实际上可能并不邪恶，相当无害，它只是这样做
other thing where it just wants to get more paperclips and then by accident
其他它只是想获得更多回形针然后意外地发生的事情
destroys this all yeah hopefully the goal function isn't like take over the
摧毁这一切是的希望目标函数不像接管
world launch nuclear missiles I guess my point is even with a simple goal
世界发射核导弹 我想我的观点是即使有一个简单的目标
function like get more energy to run faster you could accidentally kind of
功能就像获得更多能量跑得更快，你可能会意外地有点
cause a lot of damage protect humans from themselves kill them all I mean
造成很多伤害 保护人类免受自身伤害 杀死他们 我的意思是
who's putting in the bounds right now obviously open AI is doing ton of
现在谁在限制显然开放人工智能正在做很多事情
research around this but yeah I mean when you hit a level of intelligence
围绕这个进行研究，但是是的，我的意思是当你达到一定的智力水平时
maybe slightly passed unscrewing someone's arm word of Constraints people
也许稍微通过了拧开某人的手臂的话约束人

00:18
00:18
are trying to create an AI right now boy it's an active area of research and
现在正在尝试创建一个人工智能，男孩，这是一个活跃的研究领域
tweeting of Elon Musk so I mean I think there's a lot of people working on safe
埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）发推文，所以我的意思是，我认为有很多人致力于安全
AI I'm personally pretty skeptical on the regulation approach that people keep

they're spread across the world so I think regulation would just mean that
它们遍布世界各地，所以我认为监管意味着
America's lost to the game I think there's folks working on you know kind

guys see if you wanted to scale to like a hundred thousand square-foot warehouse
伙计们看看你是否想扩大到十万平方英尺的仓库
you know for us it's actually so right now what we're building is kind of like

00:24
00:24
actually doesn't seem that hard dude as CTO I mean so yeah I think there are
作为首席技术官，实际上看起来并不那么难，我的意思是，是的，我认为有
probably economies of scale that we could realize in a hundred thousand

is sort of our worst case scenario right now but we could in theory pop these
这是我们现在最坏的情况，但理论上我们可以弹出这些
open across the country if we needed to hmm it's very different from scaling a

00:27
00:27
printing they think of the like basically little plastic parts are you

changes in expands so our vision for Vudu is definitely to move past just 3d
变化不断扩大，因此我们对 Vudu 的愿景肯定是超越 3d
printing but even within 3d printing you know it's been around since the 80s I
打印，但即使在 3D 打印中，你也知道它自 80 年代以来就已经存在了
think Boeing is 3d printing titanium parts for all of their planes now so 3d
认为波音现在正在为他们所有的飞机 3d 打印钛零件，所以 3d
printing as a technology if you consider the entire range is a very capable
如果您认为整个系列都非常强大，那么印刷作为一种技术
technology and you know generally technology trickles down to the low end

that's what we'll see here so Vudu is building an infrastructure for
这就是我们将在这里看到的内容，因此 Vudu 正在构建基础设施
onboarding digital manufacturing technologies so it doesn't matter if
采用数字化制造技术，因此无论是否
it's 3d printing if it's capable of doing plastic metal whatever you know

physical object at the end so that's how we're going to handle the quality and
最后是物理对象，这就是我们如何处理质量和

00:28
00:28
material questions that come up we got a question from from Twitter about the
出现的重大问题我们从 Twitter 收到了一个关于
future of 3d printing and this point is probably the biggest

currently assembled it seems like people don't think about when they say the
目前组装的似乎人们在说的时候没有想到
future is gonna be a 3d printer in my house making my stuff maybe like 1% of
未来我家里会有一台 3D 打印机，可以打印我的东西 1%
the objects you own could be made by a 3d printer right now because they're
您拥有的物品现在可以通过 3D 打印机制作，因为它们是
just a single material so I think eventually we're gonna hit that
只是一种材料，所以我想最终我们会实现这一点
future where it's like the Star Trek replicator mm-hmm
未来就像星际迷航复制机一样嗯嗯
it's not gonna happen with any of the current technologies out there until

00:29
00:29
then digital manufacturing is still a thing
那么数字化制造仍然是一件事
digital file the physical product but it's gonna be a multi-step process which
对物理产品进行数字归档，但这将是一个多步骤的过程
I think benefits from economies of scale from a centralized facility what verse
我认为从集中设施的规模经济中获益是什么？
yeah what about even just literal objects kill just a plastic on this
是的，即使只是字面上的物体也只会杀死上面的塑料呢
chair yeah what is the time frame look like to where we could just have 3d
椅子 是的，我们可以拥有 3d 的时间范围是多少
printers making at least this part for us yeah
打印机至少为我们制造这部分是的
3d printing right now is not super cost-effective for big stuff meaning big
目前 3D 打印对于意义重大的大东西来说并不是超级划算
meeting anything larger than like a loaf of bread okay when you get bigger than
遇到任何比一条面包更大的东西，当你变得比
that it just gets prohibitively expensive and
它只是变得昂贵得令人望而却步
so printing that chair might cost a few hundred dollars there are big printers
所以打印那把椅子可能要花几百美元，有大型打印机
out there so people are definitely working on that problem but you kinda
所以人们肯定正在解决这个问题，但你有点
have to balance quality with speed and so I think the next wave of 3d printed
必须平衡质量和速度，所以我认为下一波 3D 打印
parts in the world and digital manufactured parts are all gonna be like

00:30
00:30
consumer packaged goods like smaller things that fit kind of again and just
消费包装商品，例如可以再次安装的较小物品
like loaf of bread size shape yeah you're not gonna start printing tables
就像一条面包的大小形状是的，你不会开始打印表格
and houses and stuff without significant improvements of the technology okay and
以及房屋和东西，如果技术没有显着改进，还可以
it's just expensive because it's a large amount of plastic it really comes down
只是价格昂贵，因为它含有大量塑料，而且确实会下降
to the extrusion rate of the Machine so let's say that that share is either
到机器的挤出率，所以我们可以说该份额是
injection molded or roto molded different moulding technologies you have
您拥有的注塑或滚塑不同的成型技术
like a physical mold which costs probably tens of thousands of dollars to
就像一个物理模具，可能要花费数万美元
make and you have a machine that very rapidly injects hot plastic into it and
制造并且你有一台机器可以非常快速地将热塑料注入其中并且
so the the rate of injection of those machines is probably like a thousand
所以这些机器的注射速度可能是一千
times faster than your average 3d printer so based on that fact alone you
比普通 3D 打印机快几倍，因此仅根据这一事实，您就可以
know you can just take the cost of the Machine time and the injection rate and
知道您可以只考虑机器时间和注射速率的成本
approximate how much it costs to build something and large objects just are too
估算建造某物的成本，大型物体也太贵了

00:31
00:31
expensive the ratios don't work yet so there's one handful of questions
价格昂贵，比率还不起作用，所以有一些问题
from Twitter one is about IP in China you remember this one yeah so Wyatt
来自 Twitter 的一篇是关于中国知识产权的，你还记得这个，所以 Wyatt
Sanders asked how do you deal with intellectual property in China how hard
桑德斯问你在中国处理知识产权问题有多难
is it finding support for new hardware as opposed to software I'm trying to
它是否正在寻找对新硬件的支持，而不是我正在尝试的软件
understand the question exactly I read it and I have a few questions about the
完全理解这个问题我读过它并且我有一些关于
question but I'll do my best since this is a in person question so honestly I
问题，但我会尽力而为，因为这是一个面对面的问题，所以老实说，我
you know I think with IP unless you're incredibly restrictive about like what
你知道我认为知识产权除非你对什么有非常严格的限制
gets out basically anything that isn't a well guarded trade secret somebody else
基本上泄露了其他人没有严格保护的商业秘密的任何内容
will have the most interesting I guess story I heard is when you're
我想我听到的最有趣的故事就是当你
manufacturing in China IP is thought about very differently than it is here I
中国对制造业知识产权的看法与这里截然不同

00:32
00:32
think there's kind of this belief that like things are just shared and so
认为有一种信念，即类似的事物只是共享的，所以
that's why you like everybody gets the sneak peek of an iPhone because in
这就是为什么你喜欢每个人都抢先体验一下 iPhone，因为
reality culturally let that culturally it's not a big as big of a deal to just
现实文化上让文化上这并不是什么大不了的事
kind of like share stuff I feel like so it's very different in China than it is
有点像分享我喜欢的东西，所以这与中国的情况有很大不同
in the u.s. so if you're getting something made in China I wouldn't
在美国。所以如果你要买中国制造的东西我不会
really count on IP being a big factor and even if you can keep something
真正依靠知识产权作为一个重要因素，即使你可以保留一些东西
totally under wraps like let's say you're building a top-of-the-line drone
完全保密，就像假设您正在建造一架顶级无人机
or something once this out of the market somebody in
或者一旦这个东西退出市场，有人在
China will buy one and then in like two or three months just replicate it mm-hmm
中国会购买一个，然后在两三个月内复制它，嗯嗯
it's not very difficult for them to do that with hardware hardware is becoming
对他们来说，用硬件做到这一点并不难 硬件正在变得
easier and easier to replicate over time and so it's getting closer to software
随着时间的推移，复制变得越来越容易，因此它越来越接近软件
so I think hardware IP will actually work a little bit more like software IP
所以我认为硬件IP实际上会更像软件IP

00:33
00:33
which is difficult to protect so actually an interesting to talk about
这是很难保护的，所以实际上是一个有趣的话题
voodoo again a little bit and where we fit into this one of the benefits of
再次巫毒一点，我们融入其中的好处之一
digital manufacturing is that you're not rebuilding your molds all the time when
数字化制造的特点是您不必一直重建模具
your iterating on your product so actually
实际上你对你的产品进行了迭代
the avenue for manufacturing companies protect protecting their products could

be just iterating more rapidly and using companies like us to really stay ahead
只是更快地迭代并利用像我们这样的公司来真正保持领先地位
of the market mm-hmm how did Apple think about it
市场的嗯嗯苹果是怎么想的
you'd have to ask them no comment all right next question
你必须问他们下一个问题不要发表评论
Enrique asks I don't know if you would even have an answer to this but um 3d
恩里克问我不知道你是否能回答这个问题，但是 3d
printed solar panels have you heard of this no I didn't even see that question
印刷太阳能电池板 你听说过这个吗 不 我什至没有看到这个问题
came in on Facebook man I don't know anything about to do that yes yeah what
进来了 Facebook 伙计，我不知道该怎么做 是的，什么
do we have any context for this question the context is and I'm adding a word
对于这个问题我们有任何背景吗？背景是，我要添加一个词

00:34
00:34
here what has been the progress regarding 3d solar panels which I assume
我认为 3D 太阳能电池板的进展是什么
means 3d printed solar panels got it my guess is middle a lot of like
意味着 3D 打印太阳能电池板得到了它，我猜是中间很多像
processes that you use in making chips or dealing with silicon wafers have the
您在制造芯片或处理硅晶圆时使用的工艺具有
same names as 3d printing processes so there's like stereo lithography is a
与 3D 打印工艺同名，所以立体光刻是一种
common way of getting parts 3d printed basically that just means you have like
获得 3D 打印零件的常见方法基本上意味着您有喜欢的
a laser that's itching some pattern into
激光在其中刻画出一些图案
something so I can imagine a world where you can make solar panels with three
所以我可以想象一个世界，你可以用三个来制造太阳能电池板
versions but I actually don't know anything about it all right next
版本，但我实际上不知道接下来的一切
question then bit-bit asks what will 3d printing will it ever be incorporated
那么 bit-bit 会问 3D 打印会被纳入什么领域吗？
into our educational system the other way the way other technologies have
以其他技术的方式进入我们的教育系统
definitely that's a pretty simple answer yeah I mean I actually the first time I
这绝对是一个非常简单的答案是的，我的意思是我实际上第一次
used a 3d printer was in high school oh really
高中时用过3D打印机哦，真的
yeah to go to high school I went to this
是的，为了上高中，我去了这个

00:35
00:35
really nerdy school in California called the California Academy of math and
加州有一所非常书呆子的学校，叫做加州数学学院
science it was a public school but they got sponsorships from like engineering
科学这是一所公立学校，但他们得到了工程等的赞助
companies to help us get things like 3d printers so yeah I think it's definitely
公司帮助我们获得 3D 打印机之类的东西，所以是的，我认为这绝对是
moving in that direction and that when I was in high school that the $2,000
朝着这个方向前进，当我上高中时，2,000 美元
printer didn't exist so it was a big deal to have this like $30,000 machine
打印机还不存在，所以拥有一台价值 30,000 美元的机器是一件大事
in the you know that we could use hmm so machines are cheap enough there they
你知道我们可以使用嗯，所以那里的机器足够便宜
cost the same amount as a computer it'll just follow the same trend like
成本与计算机相同，它只会遵循相同的趋势，例如
computers started ending up in classrooms in the 90s right yeah so if
计算机在 90 年代开始进入教室，是的，所以如果
today is the 90s of computers in 20 years right I think kids will probably
今天是 20 年后计算机的 90 年代，我想孩子们可能会
using them to make all sorts of things okay I did have a couple questions about
用它们来做各种各样的事情我确实有几个问题
just your experience in YC were you guys in this group reading Daniels group yes
只是你在 YC 的经历 你们这个小组里的人读过丹尼尔斯小组吗 是的

00:36
00:36
yeah yes we were now I can connect the dots we can talk about Daniel off the
是的，是的，我们现在可以把这些点联系起来，我们可以谈论丹尼尔
record but what was your uh what was your experience like it well I see being
记录一下，但是你的经历是什么，我认为是这样的
a hardware company do you find it was any different ah yes I mean we're we're
一家硬件公司，你发现它有什么不同吗？是的，我的意思是我们是我们是
not quite a hardware company is the other side of it so we I think before we
另一面不完全是一家硬件公司，所以我们我认为在我们之前
went to IC we didn't quite know how to position ourselves with investors or
去了 IC，我们不太知道如何向投资者定位自己，或者
other people because we're not a hardware company we're not a software
其他人，因为我们不是一家硬件公司，我们也不是一家软件公司
company exclusively so I think being in YC and talking to Daniel and talking to
公司独家所以我认为在 YC 并与 Daniel 交谈并与
Sam basically helped us find ourselves as a robotics company that's that's
山姆基本上帮助我们找到了一家机器人公司，就是这样
really what it comes down to which is the intersection of hardware and

00:37
00:37
remember what they were like in the beginning yeah grabbing pretty pretty
还记得他们一开始的样子是的，抓得很漂亮
formidable I think they were more formidable by the end though and I think
强大我认为他们到最后更强大而且我认为
why see the hope is that Y C gives founders a lot of things but one that
为什么看到希望是 Y C 为创始人提供了很多东西，但其中一个
often people discount because it's I think a little bit hard to capture in a

their company when talking to investors internally and frankly to themselves
他们的公司在内部与投资者交谈并坦白地自言自语时
hmm um a question we get often times is uh what is it like being a solo founder
嗯嗯，我们经常遇到的一个问题是，作为一名独立创始人是什么感觉

months yeah what's your advice for other YC companies

that like I know the during why's the experience is very different than the

post YC experience building your company

what have you learned since YC hope that you'd like to share

so I mean everybody has a slightly different experience after YC for us

obviously closing fundraising was something that took effort from me and

John that was two months after YC just we had actually kind of pulled the round
约翰，那是在 YC 之后两个月，我们实际上已经扭转了局面
together but doing the documentation and paperwork took a long time because we
在一起，但做文件和文书工作花了很长时间，因为我们
priced the round instead of doing safes so if you can do saves two safes that's

00:47
00:47
advice number one beyond that you know the the hardest thing that I think we've

encountered since YC is keeping up the momentum YC is just great at giving you

this like excuse for everyone to work really hard like nobody took vacation
这就像每个人都努力工作的借口，就像没有人休假一样
all that stuff so there was a little bit of like a post YC hangover for the
所有这些东西所以有点像 YC 后的宿醉
company because we don't push ourselves really hard and then we had to like kick
公司，因为我们不会真正强迫自己，然后我们不得不喜欢踢
everyone back in the gear right after we closed fundraising and just start
在我们结束筹款并开始后，每个人都回到了工作状态
blazing ahead hmm so if I were to do it again I would be I
向前迈进嗯，所以如果我再做一次，我会是我
mean it's easy to say this in retrospect but I would be thinking about that
意思是说现在回想起来很容易，但我会考虑这一点
during YC and right afterwards like while you as a founder are really
在 YC 期间以及之后，就像你作为创始人真的
distracted with fundraising maybe the one thing you should focus on is like
因筹款而分心也许你应该关注的一件事是
keeping everyone else motivated and moving even if you're gonna kind of be
保持其他人的积极性和行动力，即使你会这样
busy and out of the loop mm-hmm that's my experience I guess we're also a

little bit larger than probably the average YC company is so true we were 16

00:48
00:48
people in YC mm-hmm yeah I mean there definitely are some even larger
YC 的人嗯，是的，我的意思是肯定有一些更大的人
companies but you guys were on that larger end I'm one idea on that that I
公司，但你们是在更大的一端，我有一个想法，我
found really useful for me when running my company is I guess I guess so I guess
我发现在经营我的公司时对我来说真正有用的是我想我想所以我想
the obvious forcing function you can give yourself as just PR and media so
你可以给自己施加明显的强迫功能，就像公关和媒体一样
you just tell the media you're gonna launch something in two months and then
你只需告诉媒体你将在两个月内推出一些东西，然后
you could use that as a way to rally the team that works but you can't do that
你可以用它来团结有效的团队，但你不能这样做
all the time um so the other thing that we used to do that was quite useful is
一直以来，所以我们过去常做的另一件事非常有用，那就是
we used to set up much like YC did these demo days where we didn't fight
我们过去的设置很像 YC 在这些演示日所做的那样，我们没有打架
everyone's friends family and most importantly significant others to demo
每个人的朋友家人，最重要的是重要的其他人来演示
what they've and people would sign up ahead of time
他们拥有什么以及人们会提前注册
and say oh you know by you know next month Samuel day I'm gonna have this and
并说哦，你知道，你知道下个月塞缪尔日我会得到这个
it turns out when you like towel your significant other that like you're gonna
事实证明，当你喜欢用毛巾擦拭你的另一半时，你就会
have built a thing by a date you really care because you don't want to look like
在你真正关心的日期之前建造了一个东西，因为你不想看起来像
a fool and so that provides kind of synthetic internal forcing function and
一个傻瓜，因此提供了一种合成的内力函数，并且

00:49
00:49
you can make it like a fun event invited people over to the office kind of
你可以把它变成一个有趣的活动，邀请人们来办公室
humanized the company to all the folks that don't work there and I found quite
让公司对所有不在公司工作的人变得人性化，我发现
a bit that instilled pressure in the team that we wouldn't have had otherwise
这给团队带来了一点压力，否则我们不会有这样的压力
