Markets:
Personal Assistance Robots
Throughout the history of GeckoSystems the focus has been on personal assistance robots, also known as Mobile Service Robots (MSRs).
There are many R&D projects around the world focused on the same market, but we believe none of them are closer to being marketed than these GeckoSystems applications:.
The CareBot™
The CareBot™ is the company's flagship product, to be marketed initially to assist caregivers with the elderly and disabled. In the future it will also be used for child care applications. The CareBot has been Alpha tested in a the home environment and is expected to go into Beta Testing late in 2012.
The Collision Proof Wheelchair
GeckoSystems has created a collision proof wheelchair by using navigational technology developed for the CareBot and artifical intelligence to interpret joystick signals and filter out eratic movements that often make it diffficult for the disabled to use a power wheelchair. This technology will enable users to enjoy greater safety and enhanced mobility. GeckoSystems is in the final stages of creating a Joint Venture in the People's Republic of China for the production of this product. The company hopes that the collision proof wheelchair will be on the market by the end of 2012.
The links above will give you more information on these two applications, but there are many more possibilities for robots in the personal assistance market but these applications are within reach, they are no longer science fiction.
