Fulcrum provides inspection data pipeline for Cantilever analysis, explains Gecko Robotics [Video]

Robotic maintenance of large structures and critical infrastructure is only as useful as the data it yields. Gecko Robotics Inc. has announced its Fulcrum software for data acquisition and quality. Its first public use was this week.

The Pittsburgh-based company, best known for its robots that can climb and maintain tanks, has also developed drones and software. It said its Cantilever operating platform uses artificial intelligence and robotics (AIR) for data analysis and to support fast decision-making at scale.

Jake Loosararian, co-founder and CEO, and Jennifer Padgett, engineering manager at Gecko Robotics, explained to The Robot Report how Fulcrum and Cantilever can enable new levels of insights from robotic inspection.
