●     one committee that will be controlled by the Invento Board designees, which will focus on the hardware, equipment development, software & related services customized for required user experience, fleet management/similar software for enabling real-time monitoring of robots and human expertise for real time handling of robots at required intervals where remote human care/involvement is needed.

●     one committee that will be controlled by the Clearday Board designees, which will focus on developing content and additional use cases for the Robots and additional services that may be provided by the JV in the JV Core Business Market.
