AI and robotics to help U.S. Navy achieve 80% fleet readiness by 2027

NAES, America’s largest independent power operator with 65GW under management, and Gecko, the company pioneering the development of AI-driven platforms using robotics, have announced a strategic partnership aimed at transforming the reliability and operational efficiency of American power production following President Trump’s declaration of a national energy emergency on January 20th. The companies announced an initial multi-year agreement valued in excess of $100 million with the option for the deal to grow beyond $250 million as demand warrants with one focus: modernizing power plants to meet the energy crisis in America.

Gecko Robotics, the company pioneering the use of AI and robotics to change how organizations build, operate and maintain their most critical infrastructure, announced an expansion of its work with the U.S. Navy’s surface fleet and the continued growth of its partnership with the Columbia-class submarine program. The Navy has increased the use of Gecko on surface ships by 400% in 2024 and has expanded its scope to include aircraft carriers, with the first vessel scheduled for this fall.

Gecko Robotics and Al Masaood Energy today announced a multi-year contract with ADNOC Gas, an integrated gas processing company and a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), one of the world’s largest integrated energy companies. The contract, with an estimated ceiling of $30 Million dollars, will see the utilization of Gecko’s industry-leading robots and AI-powered data platform across ADNOC Gas sites facilitating predictive maintenance to increase efficiencies, reduce downtime and CO2 emissions, while also maintaining HSE best practice for the safety of its employees and contractors.

Gecko Robotics, a company at the forefront of using robotics and AI-powered software to improve the health of the physical world, has joined forces with Rho Impact, a leading impact analytics firm, to unveil groundbreaking findings on the potentially transformative environmental impact of digitizing critical infrastructure. The new research, combined with a previously released report on boiler tube failures, underscores that better use of robotics and AI could result in an impressive reduction of 853 million metric tons (MMT) annually, equivalent to 18% of U.S. CO2 emissions, or eliminating more than half (64%) of the gas-powered vehicles on the road.

Gecko Robotics, the industry leader in using AI-powered software and advanced robotics to maintain, operate and build the world’s most important physical infrastructure, today announced a partnership with American Bituminous Power Grant Town, a West Virginia power plant that provides energy to the Grant Town Community. Through this three-year partnership, Ambit will leverage Gecko’s newly-launched AI-powered Cantilever platform that combines the power of data-collecting robots, data integration, analytic tools and software modules to reduce outages.

Gecko Robotics, the industry leader in using AI-powered software and advanced robotics to maintain and build the world’s most important physical infrastructure, today announced an extension of its Series C funding round bringing the total Series C raise to $173 Million.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in using advanced robotics and software to decode the built world, today announced a new demonstration contract with the U.S. Navy to help modernize the manufacturing process for the $132 billion Columbia-class nuclear submarine program. Gecko will use its advanced weld inspection and data capabilities to help the Navy decrease inspection time and reduce costs during the manufacturing process, while also providing a baseline of data to improve in-service maintenance cycles.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in helping the world’s most important organizations operate and maintain their physical assets, today announced the official launch of the company’s Cantilever™ product. The first-of-its-kind solution integrates data from Gecko’s various robotic, fixed-sensor, and partner systems into a software platform that enables unparalleled analysis and decision making about asset health. By bringing together data layers that were not previously possible, Cantilever drives important decisions for customers that increase uptime, decrease costs, and eliminate safety issues.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in decoding the built world with robots and software, today announced a further expansion of its work with the U.S. Navy under a new $5 million ceiling contract with Huntington Ingalls Industries. The expansion will increase the speed and quality of maintenance cycles for U.S. Navy surface ships, including amphibious assault ships.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in helping the world’s most important institutions operate and maintain their physical assets, today announced that it has expanded its work with the United States Navy to include advanced robotic assessments of both the first amphibious assault ship and an additional Arleigh Burke Class destroyer. Gecko will utilize its wall-climbing robots and AI-powered software platform to build digital models of the vessels to increase the speed of maintenance cycles and reduce the time Navy vessels spend in dry dock. The expansion of work follows the approval of Gecko’s Rapid Ultrasonic Gridding (RUG) process by the U.S. Navy.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in helping the world’s most important institutions operate and maintain their physical assets, today announced that it has been awarded an 18-month $1.5 Million contract by the U.S. Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center. The award comes through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program and is part of the Air Force’s efforts to modernize the legs of the U.S. nuclear triad.

Gecko Robotics, a leader in using advanced robotics and enterprise software to help ensure the availability, reliability and sustainability of critical infrastructure, today announced a three-year collaboration with Siemens Energy’s European Field Service organization to market and perform advanced ultrasonic robotic inspections services across Europe.
