GeckoSystems, an AI Robotics Co., Gains Traction: LOI with NYC AI Firm
CONYERS, Ga., August 11, 2016 -- GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (Pink Sheets: GOSY | http://www.GeckoSystems.com) announced today that after over two years of negotiations with this advanced AI developer in New York City, that additional, substantive progress, a Letter of Intent (LOI), has been signed to form their first US joint venture. For over nineteen years, GeckoSystems has dedicated itself to development of "AI Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security and Service(tm)."
“Less than two weeks ago, I met with this Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) firm’s CEO. Our two days of meetings were very cordial, frank and productive. To that end, we immediately effectuated our Safety Clause NDA such that our discussions became of sufficient substance for us to sign our second agreement, an MOU, clearly revealing that both parties believe significant AI synergies appropriate for multiple markets would be garnered by each firm. Now we have the additional clarity with this third agreement, an LOI, as we continue to gain traction in our pursuit of this multi-million-dollar licensing revenue opportunity,” stated Martin Spencer, CEO, GeckoSystems Intl. Corp.
NYC has national prominence in the AI development community. For example, NYC has twenty listed here: http://nycstartups.net/startups/artificial_intelligence Atlanta, GA, reports only one AI robotics startup, Monsieur, a leader in the automated bartending space. http://monsieur.co/company/
Artificial intelligence technologies and applications span Big Data, Predictive Analytics, Statistics, Mobile Robots, Service Robotics, Drones, Self-driving Cars, Driverless Cars, Driver Assisted Cars, Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Homes, UGV’s, UAV’s, USV’s, AGV’s, Forward and/or Backward Chaining Expert Systems, Savants, AI Assistants, Sensor Fusion, Subsumption, etc.
Recently the Company revealed a new AI mobile robot concept for better, lower cost public safety. All of those affiliated with the Company, as do most Americans, share the abject horror we are all still trying to process regarding the recent, indoor (and outdoor) mass shooting and murdering of dozens of innocent victims.
To better manage those 21st century mass shootings, the Company is offering to prototype and deploy the GeckoNED(tm), a new type of mobile security robot that is a Non-violent Enforcement Device with a high level of independent mobile autonomy, sensor rich for enhanced situational awareness, and ease of complete control under tele-operation by designated, vetted public safety personnel.
The following was written by Spencer shortly after the Sandy Hook mayhem, but not updated since the Pulse nightclub carnage.
Safety for our children is a moral imperative for all enlightened civilizations. The present proliferation of lethal weaponry in the form of readily obtainable semi- and full automatic pistols and rifles has brought increased child safety to nearly blinding visibility that requires new thinking and solutions for this long overdue, poorly addressed need in our culture.
Mobile robots could be the most proximate and final deterrent to those that would harm our children in public schools and other venues. GeckoSystems has named the mobile robot concept that would provide yet another barrier between our children and those immoral individuals intent on doing them significant harm the GeckoNEDä. "NED" stands for Non-violent (or non-lethal) Enforcement Device.
Fundamentally, the GeckoNED (or "NED"
![](/images/icons/icon_wink.gif)
What does it do? Deters, Detects, and Contains to provide better Protection-
Marquee deterrent video and audio surveillance systems with fully autonomous self-patrolling in loose crowds, etc.
Quick detection using AI augmented sensor fusion systems with fully autonomous auto-find/seek
Deployable, multiple non-lethal containment systems under direct human control only
Ready mobile detection, protection and containment systems that are fully tele-operable remotely
The NED would be a marquee deterrent due to its robust audio and video surveillance systems employing WiFi LAN data communications to connect to the school's Internet access. The primary, high-resolution pan/tilt zoom video camera and professional quality microphones would be selected such that their features and benefits are appropriate for the expanses to be "sight and sound" monitored in the school.
Further enhancing the marquee deterrence, the NED would be available for direct human tele-operation almost instantly when direct human control was appropriate and timely due to a clear and present danger to the children having been identified with a high level of confidence by the NED's AI enhanced sensor systems. In addition, cell phone and police band communication capability could be included using the voice synthesis ability of GeckoChatä.
The NED would:
Enable prompt intruder detection using multiple, different sensor systems (sight, sound and smell) AI fused to produce a one plus one equals three synergy. This counter-intuitive metaphor describes a common benefit of GeckoSystems' advanced artificial intelligence and sensor fusion competencies.
The NED's AI's would sensor fuse:
Augmented Vision
a. These would include machine vision, including that visible to the human eye, and that invisible, such as infra-red (IR) due to body heat, heat from fired weapons, etc. and AI software
Extended Hearing
b. Frequency response range widened beyond human hearing, into the ultrasonic using multiple microphones (omni directional and directional) and AI software
Enhanced Smell
c. Odor detection systems for appropriate gas detection, whether odorless to human sense of smell or not with intelligent inhalation system and AI software
Singly, and in concert, the preceding systems would detect unwanted intruders by:
Video surveillance enhanced by AI object recognition machine vision
a. In both visible and invisible IR light spectrums
Audio surveillance enhanced by AI expert systems
b. Within and outside human hearing range, atypical sounds such as
i. Gun shots
ii. Breaking glass
iii. Doors being broken down
iv. Students and/or staff stressed voices; screams
Odor and odorless gas surveillance
c. Smoke, carbon monoxide, and natural gas
d. Potentially odors from:
i. Handguns, long guns, rifles
ii. Guns in lockers
iii. Explosives, gun ammunition in lockers
The NED would pre-position ready mobile protection that is fully tele-operable remotely when atypical situations arise. It would immediately alert pre-designated parties for human intervention and direct human control of the NED and its various containment systems.
The NED's exterior size would be about thirty (30) inches in diameter and seventy-two (72) inches tall
a. Cannot be readily disabled by small arms fire thus affording cover for students and staff when the NED places itself between the intruder and all others.
b. The NED's shroud could be bulletproof covering using a combination of Kevlar, ceramic armor, and/or aluminum plates sufficient for absorbing small arms fire.
Immediate intervention after detection resulting from a top speed, in obstacle free hallways, of up to 20 mph
c. SafePath technologies with obstacle avoidance five to six times faster than a person preclude NED hitting anything, even when under teleoperation (direct human) control.
Bull horns, sirens, high power speaker system and/or other sound projection systems capable of hitting the threshold of pain
The NED would have readily deployed, multiple non-lethal containment systems solely under the control of a designated, responsible party such as a "watch commander" at the local police station.
The non-violent and/or non-lethal containment capabilities would consist of:
1. Targeted, high volume water spray
2. Sleeping gas with directed dispersement
3. Irritant sprays, such as pepper spray, tear gas, etc. with directed dispersement
4. Acoustical stunners, flash-bangs, "stun bombs"
5. Targeted net guns, "projectile nets"
6. Targeted sticky foam, an extremely tacky material carried in compressed form with a propellant
7. Targeted electrical stunners (Tasers)
In addition to providing children and staff in schools a higher level of safety, the school would now have a new kind of school mascot, a NED. The covering could be painted in school colors, and designed like the school mascot, if desired. For an example, Huber U. Hunt Elementary School is a tiger. They could have a tiger design with verbal UX customized for a pleasing dialect for the students. The NED's battery recharging pads would be located at various desirable sentry positions throughout school. Literally the school's NED would be unique in its use and appearance in every school.
Resulting from this LOI, the GeckoNED, for example, would benefit from more powerful, analytic, reliable, comprehensive AI software even more situationally aware and autonomous to provide an even higher level of safety for our school children and other “soft targets,” such as movie theatres, night clubs, etc. This is completely congruent with GeckoSystems’ strategic focus.
The Company is also negotiating an investment from a Japanese trading company, KISCO Ltd., and those discussions continue under NDA.
“This LOI portends well for us and our shareholders. We are definitively on path to consummate our first domestic joint venture licensing agreement. It comes as no surprise, that a highly advanced NYC AI company understands the market potential of our suite of AI mobile robot solutions.
“We continue to have numerous ongoing joint venture and/or licensing discussions, not only in Japan, but also in the US, as revealed in this press release. I am also pleased that as the Service Robotics industry begins to offer real products to eager markets, our capabilities are being recognized. Our 1300+ shareholders can continue to be confident that we expect to be signing numerous multi-million-dollar licensing agreements to further substantiate and delineate the reality that GeckoSystems will earn additional licensing revenues to further increase shareholder value and ROI," concluded Spencer.
