Our take
The critical services of energy, government, and other essential sectors depend on reliable infrastructure, and this is ensured through regular inspections. However, collecting the physical data required for infrastructural inspection is impossible without a variety of specialized equipment, and analyzing the produced data is a highly time-consuming process.
Gecko Robotics provides physical data handling for critical infrastructure inspections, leveraging robot-enabled ultrasonics and cloud-based data processing to serve power, oil and gas, pulp and paper, chemical, and government sectors. The company achieves this by pairing human NDT II/III inspectors with data capturing robots, facilitating the deployment of various advanced inspection techniques to meet any regulatory standards.
Whilst the use of robotic automation for infrastructural inspection is nothing new, Gecko Robotics stands out by offering its Toka robotics series, devices that are sufficiently flexible to collect data in many infrastructural scenarios. The company claims that this technology facilitates the collection of 1000 times more information than existing solutions at 10 times the speed.
Since receiving $73 million in Series C funding, Gecko has expanded its mission to "protect today's critical infrastructure and give shape to tomorrow's", taking on lucrative contracts with the US Navy.
