Why Tackle the Toughest Problems at Gecko?
Infrastructure management is one of the largest overlooked challenges today. High resolution data collection is critical for early damage and wear identification on our world’s critical infrastructure.
Gecko’s robots rapidly collect high-resolution data in the field for predictive maintenance planning in Cantilever? . Robotic localization is crucial to correctly target damage and provide accurate data layers so customers can make timely decisions about their asset’s health now and in the future.
Our robotic technology works in unforgiving environments that are geometrically aliased, vary between wet and dry conditions, have poor lighting, and are often GPS denied. Solving localization here is tough and any errors can result in asset failure, which has safety and environmental implications.
Gecko's robotic systems are unique because they don’t need to work in near full autonomy to make a real-world impact. Every single thing we do can be released in the field almost immediately. We provide incremental change on our way to tackling some of the toughest challenges ahead.
Localization in our operating domain requires a team of incredibly intelligent, motivated people. Anyone who wants to rise to the challenge - come see what we’re about. We're hiring .
