Investors: Press Release
GeckoSystems' CareBot™ Social Robot History
Presented to Haier Group,
World's Largest Home Appliance Manufacturer
CONYERS, Ga., July 25, 2014 -- GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (Pink Sheets: GOSY | http://www.geckosystems.com/) announced today that recently a wholly owned subsidiary of Haier Group requested that the company send them videos of their mobile robots' heritage for Haier's careful review. For over seventeen years GeckoSystems has dedicated itself to development of "Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security and Service."™
At the request of Haier, GeckoSystems sent a comprehensive video history depicting the legacy of their personal robot development over the last 15+ years in 127 video files in multiple formats in 16 folders totaling 7.84GB on a DVD. Many are in higher resolution than what YouTube historically supported. The prototypes range from the 1998 "P3b2" to "Kandy" in 1999, "Bertha" in 2001, "Emily" in 2003, "Lucy" in 2009, and "Martha" in 2011, the first CareBot to use depth camera based navigation. The most recent prototype, a BaseBot™, "Lou," was sent to Japan in 2013 and evaluated by well respected robotics company ZMP (http://tinyurl.com/pmtm8kc). These videos represent six distinct generations of the company's personal robot development, each more refined and capable than the last.
Also included are videos of GeckoSystems' SafePath™ enabled power wheelchair using their fundamental, proprietary mobile robot solutions originally developed for the CareBot, an Intelligent Family Care Assistant (IFCA).
Home robots are a new type of home appliance that have as much or more benefit to the home as refrigerators, automatic washing machines/dryers, dishwashers, and/or microwave ovens. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, predicts a "robot in every home." (GeckoSystems agrees with Mr. Gates due to the economic and time stress benefits provided by the CareBot.)
Historically whenever a new mobility-enhancing appliance (like a telegraph, telephone, fax, cell phone, etc.) is invented and as they achieve mass-market status, hundreds of fundamental patent opportunities arise along with thousands of secondary, follow-on patent opportunities. The invention of the telegraph enabled Thomas Edison to make a fortune from his later multiplex telegraph patents. Those multiplex telegraph patents financed many of his creations to allow him to invent the light bulb, phonograph, movie projector, etc.
When Henry Ford developed the Model T, he secured dozens of fundamental patents due to being "first mover." In later years, due to the establishment of the Model T, hydraulic brakes/shocks, electric starters, and electric windshield wipers were all invented and patented extensively.
Just like automobiles, mobile robots must go where people normally go. That means that personal robots are size constrained to fit in environments for people as to width and height. "Optimum" high quality, low cost mechanical and electrical solutions do not presently exist any where in the world for the emerging market of a "robot in every home." There are dozens of packaging problems that require custom, "never done before" solutions that can be jointly patented by Haier and GeckoSystems. Due to the many years of R&D spent by GeckoSystems in mobile robot mechanical, electrical, electronic, and software challenges, the company is aware of many of those primary, fundamental patent opportunities that are probably appropriate for Haier's well-educated and experienced packaging and manufacturing engineers.
"We are certainly very appreciative of the time and sincere interest that Haier, a world-class corporate citizen, has conveyed to us to date. I look forward to further discussions with Haier about the many international patent opportunities that solve quality, packaging, cost, and efficiency requirements unique to mobile service robots, such as our CareBot, for daily utility and value to the user. As promised to our 1300+ stockholders, we remain very focused on our marketing activities." concluded Martin Spencer, CEO, GeckoSystems Intl. Corp.
