Gecko Robotics

Gecko Robotics is an AI + Robotics [AIR] technology company that builds robots for non-destructive testing in the oil & gas, pulp & paper, power, mining, chemical, and defense industries. The robots climb the walls of structures such as dams and ship hulls and use ultrasonic sensors to scan, inspect, and quantify damage like rust, corrosion, cracks, and weld defects. As the robots scan, Gecko’s AI-powered operating platform, Cantilever, generates digital models of the infrastructure alongside data on its current and predicted health, and offers up actionable data for both immediate and long-term predictive maintenance. Gecko’s solution enables plant operators to make smarter maintenance decisions using data on corrosion rates and the projected lifespan of assets.

Rather than selling their robots outright, Gecko offers them as part of a more comprehensive robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) offering. Customers can see the immediate impact of robotics—increased safety, faster inspection times, improved data accuracy, and more reliable assets—without the need to invest in capital or additional staff to manage their own robotic equipment. Gecko’s team participates in the inspections, and is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the robots.
