Gecko Robotics (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA) a pioneer of using advanced robotics and AI-powered software solutions to view the health and integrity of the physical world, was recently named to the2024 CNBC Disruptor 50 list.
“We built Gecko to solve an existential problem for our world… the lack of data on how to build, operate, and maintain the critical assets we rely on every day,” says Jake Loosararian, CEO.
“People don’t think about the power plant that supplies our energy, the bridge we commute across, or the factory that supplies thousands of jobs in our communities until things fail,” he adds. “But in 2024, with advances in robotics and AI, things shouldn’t fail. That’s the mission we appreciate CNBC highlighting with this announcement, and the goal my 300 colleagues and I wake up every morning excited to work on.”
Each year, CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list aims to showcase forward-thinking and ambitious companies leading the way in innovation and industry transformation.
According to the media company, each submission goes through a thorough evaluation process, which consists of incorporating extensive research and analysis based on quantitative and qualitative metrics. Input from CNBC's editorial team and a diverse panel of entrepreneurial experts further informed the selection process.
About Gecko Robotics
Gecko’s fleet of robots and fixed sensors use specially designed sensor payloads to build sophisticated digital twins and interactive maps of physical assets. From there, Gecko says its robotic platforms gather high-quality data at 10 times the speed and 1,000 times the granularity of manual data collection methods, which are still in use on many critical assets around the globe.
These robots are able to capture integrity data at previously unheard-of scale and fidelity, and they are able to climb pipelines, boilers, tanks, ship hulls, and much more.
Gecko’s software platform, Cantilever, then integrates the collected data with other data layers to enable insights that optimize performance, prevent downtime, and extend service life. The company’s end-to-end solutions are deployed around the world and across industries ranging from energy and manufacturing to maritime and national defense.
Recent company milestones include multiple scientific studies showing how its technology can reduce carbon emissions, as well as a series of strategic partnerships with the U.S. Navy.
