If Longtai still wants to "dance" after operations being suspended last week that says something. Not sure what it says, but it says something. I'm pretty confident (no inside information) that Titan has come to terms with the fact that they cannot go at it alone anymore. It's time to partner up. As you've stated. That is probably what's going on right now, hence the month to month "reviews".
Gary Pruden of JnJ has stated that they will show their robot in December - which means that all the partnership details will be completed and sown up by say Sept - interesting timing.
