US Navy looks to robots, AI to extend vessel health and maintenance [Video]

The U.S. military will look to robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) to improve fleet maintenance and readiness, according to Gecko Robotics. 

The company has worked out a deal that will see the U.S. Navy introduce wall-climbing robots and AI to “reduce delays and maintain its fleet” with an eye toward extending the life of ships and submarines. 

“We’re proud to grow our partnership with the Navy around keeping ships in the fight and increasing the pace of production on the Columbia,” Jake Loosararian, co-founder and CEO of Gecko Robotics, said, referring to the Columbia-class submarine program in a press release.

“Making sure the brave men and women of the U.S. Navy have the tools they need to perform their vital missions safely and effectively is the perfect example of what our team wakes up every morning focused on.”
