These robots prevented a major environmental disaster

A software platform powered by AI uses the data to build a precise digital model, which can give astonishingly detailed insights into the health and integrity of vital infrastructure such as bridges and power plants, and can ultimately save lives, cut the costs and risks associated with maintenance, and reduce CO2 emissions. Jake Loosararian, Co-founder and CEO, Gecko Robotics, explains how it all works.

Gecko Robotics is an example of ‘technology convergence’, which is when multiple technologies combine to create new capabilities that generate compounding effects and give rise to new industries and business models. A new report by the Forum and Capgemini identifies 23 technology combinations reshaping industries today.
