Pittsburgh-based Gecko Robotics just announced a $100 million deal with NAES Corporation to tackle the nation’s growing energy gap.
How? Gecko develops robots that survey energy infrastructure for structural damage. Gecko’s AI-powered software can reduce reactive maintenance by 80% and double a facility’s lifespan.
Why does this matter? Right now, the U.S. is seeing a surge in energy demand, driven largely by AI and data center growth. This is particularly hard on the country’s aging grid.
NAES Corp is the power generation industry’s largest independent services provider, with 65 gigawatts spanning renewable, nuclear and fossil fuel. This partnership with Gecko has the potential to dramatically increase the productivity of these facilities.
