Profile
Gecko Robotics is a Pittsburgh-based AI and robotics company founded in 2013 by Jake Loosararian (CEO) and co-founders. The company pioneers AI + Robotics (AIR) technology to transform how critical infrastructure is built, operated, and maintained. Gecko deploys a fleet of specialized robots that climb, crawl, swim, and fly to collect high-fidelity data on assets in challenging industrial environments. This data is combined with advanced AI analytics through its proprietary platform to deliver actionable insights, predictive maintenance, and operational intelligence. The company serves essential industries including power generation, oil & gas, steel, mining, pulp & paper, and defense, helping customers reduce downtime, optimize capital spending, extend asset life, and improve safety.
Gecko has analyzed thousands of assets over 10+ years and recently secured major contracts, including a $71M deal with the U.S. Navy to boost fleet readiness and partnerships with ADNOC and others. Its approach emphasizes first-order, physics-based data collection that strengthens AI models for real-world reliability.
Key robot-based products and platform:
- Cantilever®: The core operating platform powered by AIR technology. It integrates data from robots and fixed sensors into a single source of truth for asset health. Cantilever provides visualization, predictive analytics, planning tools, and decision support to drive immediate operational improvements and long-term strategy.
- Climbing & Crawling Robots: Specialized robots designed for vertical surfaces, tanks, boilers, and complex structures. They perform non-destructive testing (NDT), ultrasonic thickness measurements, visual inspections, and other sensor-based data collection in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas.
- Swimming & Flying Robots: Aquatic and aerial platforms that extend inspection capabilities to underwater assets, confined spaces, and large infrastructure.
- Modular Robotic Systems (e.g., Toka series): Adaptable platforms with various payloads and form factors for diverse industrial assets. These robots deliver consistent, high-resolution data at scale while operating in harsh conditions where human inspectors face risks.
Gecko’s solutions stand out for their ability to generate massive, high-quality datasets that continuously improve AI performance. This creates a powerful feedback loop for better predictions and recommendations. The company combines robotics hardware with sophisticated software to deliver end-to-end value — from raw data collection to business impact — helping industries modernize asset management in the face of aging infrastructure and workforce challenges.
