"I felt like I would learn a lot by coming here... Also, I was told I would get to play with the robot." Bohan Li, Software Engineer, moved from Houston to Pittsburgh for a multidisciplinary experience — and 'pretty good food.' I work as a full-stack software engineer developing an interface that operators use to control the robot, run data acquisition workflows, and provide data quality feedback. Gecko’s product has a lot of potential from both a societal impact and financial perspective. The idea of using robots to perform high-quality inspections of our infrastructure seems so plainly obvious from the outside. I like that I’m able to apply my skills for a product I believe in and one that has a positive impact on society. My teammates are extremely smart and competent, and it motivates me to try harder. I'm ready to ask lots of questions and come in with a strong desire to learn. #SoftwareEngineer #Pittsburgh #Robotics #AssetManagement

High-quality data is the difference between occupational hazard and workplace safety. With robots and software, there's no longer a need for dangerous and inefficient methods of industrial asset management. We must protect skilled trades and give them the resources to do their jobs better, without putting their lives on the line. That's why, at Gecko, we're proud to help ensure infrastructure management professionals return home from the workplace safely every day. #SafeAndSoundWeek #OSHA

Robots that help ensure we have paper! 🗞️ The pulp and paper industry faces significant challenges in maintaining aging infrastructure. Traditionally, paper mills have struggled with unplanned outages, reactive maintenance, and high CAPEX due to limited asset health visibility. ⛑️ Manual inspection methods often leave up to 95% of an asset's condition unknown, leading to inefficiencies and potential hazards. Predictive maintenance, powered by Gecko Robotics' advanced robotics and sensors, is changing this landscape. These technologies collect comprehensive asset health data at unprecedented speeds and accuracy. When fed into sophisticated asset management software, this data generates actionable insights, creating detailed asset models and prioritized repair plans. By adopting these strategies, pulp and paper mills can create a culture of excellence, empowering their workforce with real-time, accurate data. 📊 This approach leads to more reliable and profitable operations, positioning mills to effectively meet current market challenges and future demands. Congrats Jake Loosararian and the Gecko team! 🦎 P.S. Another ASMR robotic video - just listen in :) ~~~ ♻️ Repost to help 1 robot find a new workplace. 📬 Subscribe to my newsletter to never confuse a robot and a cobot: https://lnkd.in/dzVGBKSc
