CONYERS, GA--(Marketwired - May 2, 2016) - GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (OTC PINK: GOSY) (http://www.geckosystems.com/) announced today that two of their Japanese business partners will be demonstrating their BaseBot(tm), "Lou," to a new business partner prior to the CEO's trip to Japan. For over eighteen years GeckoSystems has dedicated itself to development of "AI Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security and Service™."
"I am pleased to report that due to the continued hard work of one of our Japanese representatives, Mr. Fujii Katsuji, we have again achieved demonstrable progress securing viable joint ventures in Japan. This latest demonstration to one of several joint ventures being entertained, is particularly significant due to the breadth and depth of the robotics expertise of ICCL (http://www.ic-corp.jp/) and their insistence we meet them as soon as is prudent in Japan to sign the JV agreement," commented Martin Spencer, CEO, GeckoSystems Intl. Corp.
The demonstration of GeckoSystems' BaseBot, "Lou," is scheduled for May 13th in Japan. Spencer will be traveling to Japan on May 20th and expects to return early to mid June in order to have sufficient time to meet with present JV partners, support ICCL in their million-dollar grant submission to the Japanese government, and meet with potential new licensees, such as the Japanese trading company earlier mentioned.
Here is a third party video demonstrating the high level of mobile safety that GeckoSystems' advanced, proprietary, AI centric sense and avoid mobile robot technology can provide for drones, self driving cars, AGV's, and mobile robots of all forms due to the human quick reaction time (Worst Case Execution Time) of their GeckoNavä AI navigation system: http://t.co/NqqM22TbKN
Late last year, GeckoSystems had their white paper on Worst Case Execution (reflex or reaction) Time sufficient for mobile service robots' safe usage proximate to humans, translated into Japanese. Mr. Katsuji has been presenting that seminal discussion to many Japanese companies.
That paper explains the importance of GeckoSystems' breakthrough, proprietary, and exclusive AI software and why this premier Japanese robotics company, ICCL, desires to enter a contractual joint venture relationship with GeckoSystems.
In order to understand the importance of GeckoSystems' breakthrough, proprietary, and exclusive AI software and why another Japanese company desires a business relationship with GeckoSystems, it's key to acknowledge some basic realities for all forms of automatic, non-human intervention, vehicular locomotion and steering.
1. Laws of Physics such as Conservation of Energy, inertia, and momentum, limit a vehicle's ability to stop or maneuver. If, for instance, a car's braking system design cannot generate enough friction for a given road surface to stop the car in 100 feet after brake application, that's a real limitation. If a car cannot corner at more than .9g due to a combination of suspension design and road conditions, that, also, is reality. Regardless how talented a NASCAR driver may be, if his race car is inadequate, he's not going to win races.
2. At the same time, if a car driver (or pilot) is tired, drugged, distracted, etc. their reflex time becomes too slow to react in a timely fashion to unexpected direction changes of moving obstacles, or the sudden appearance of fixed obstacles. Many car "accidents" result from drunk driving due to reflex time and/or judgment impairment. Average reflex time takes between 150 & 300ms. http://tinyurl.com/nsrx75n
3. In robotic systems, "human reflex time" is known as Worst Case Execution Time (WCET). Historically, in computer systems engineering, WCET of a computational task is the maximum length of time the task could take to execute on a specific hardware platform. In big data, this is the time to load up the data to be processed, processed, and then outputted into useful distillations, summaries, or common sense insights. GeckoSystems' basic AI self-guidance navigation system processes 147 megabytes of data per second using low cost, Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Single Board Computers (SBC's).
4. Highly trained and skilled jet fighter pilots have a reflex time (WCET) of less than 120ms. Their "eye to hand" coordination time is a fundamental criterion for them to be successful jet fighter pilots. The same holds true for all high performance forms of transportation that are sufficiently pushing the limits of the Laws of Physics to require the quickest possible reaction time for safe human control and/or usage.
5. GeckoSystems' WCET is less than 100ms, or as quick, or quicker than most gifted jet fighter pilots, NASCAR race car drivers, etc. while using low cost COTS and SBC's
6. In mobile robotic guidance systems, WCET has 3 fundamental components.
a. Sufficient Field Of View (FOV) with appropriate granularity, accuracy, and update rate.
b. Rapid processing of that contextual data such that common sense responses are generated.
c. Timely physical execution of those common sense responses.
In order for any companion robot to be utilitarian for family care, it must be a "three legged milk stool." For any mobile robot to move in close proximity to humans, it must have (1) human quick reflex time to avoid moving and/or unmapped obstacles, (2) verbal interaction with a sense of date and time, and (3) the ability to automatically find and follow designated parties such that verbal interaction can occur routinely with video and audio monitoring of the care receiver uninterrupted.
At this time, there are approximately 2,200,000 million Japanese over 65 living alone. Their greatest fear is to die alone and that their demise not be known to others for a few days. For this reason and many others, the Japanese government pays 90% of the cost of personal robots used for eldercare such that concern would be well addressed. Further, the Japanese government is paying 75% of the R&D costs to develop robotic healthcare solutions for greater productivity to provide more economic care giving for their extraordinarily large senior population. This recent article further underscores Japan's commitment to eldercare capable, 'welfare' robots: "Japan govt to urge nursing care robot development" http://tinyurl.com/oehxdba
