GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (GOSY)

[XenaLives]

GeckoSystems has valuable technology that has been developed over a 15 year period. It is CEO Martin Spencer's dream to make people's lives better through robotic technology.

Although his primary focus has been an eldercare robot that will keep an eye on an aging parents in a home care setting, the company's first commercial effort will probably be robotic controls that create a collision proof wheelchair.


Controlling a wheelchair is not a simple matter. No matter what the current system of control is (joystick, head motion, sip and puff) it has to be delicately adjusted for each user. Factors such as tremor and spacisity have to be compensated for. Speed must be limited for safety and speed limiters slow things down even when the enviroment is safe for a higher speed. Different running surfaces such as carpet vs tile also affect chair performance, door thresholds can be serious obstacles.

The GeckoSystems suite of sensors and artificial intelligence deals with these issues. The end result is more freedom and productivity and a better quality of life for the wheelchair user.

This is a really BIG DEAL for GeckoSystems. Once the system is available on the international market it will be a BIG DEAL for the disabled.
