The company is selling a Japanese company an adaptation kit for their wheelchairs. We'll probably see an update on how that went soon. It takes a while to get something like that into production.
Initial adaptation was done by GeckoSystems. Final testing and sales will be done by Imasen.
Investors: Press Release GeckoSystems to Enhance Japanese Wheelchairs With Mobile Robot Solutions
CONYERS, GA, May 06, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- GeckoSystems Intl. Corp, a dynamic leader in the emerging mobile robotics industry revolutionizing their development and usage with "Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security and Service(TM)," (PINKSHEETS: GOSY) (http://www.geckosystems.com/) -- announced today that they expect receipt in late May of the first wheelchairs from Imasen Engineering Corporation, Japan's oldest wheelchair manufacturer. This order to upgrade was secured by GeckoSystems' long time Japanese business development representative, Mr. Hajime Yasumatsu (Chairman of Yasu, Inc.) and a recently signed representative, Mr. Tsunenuri Kato (President/CEO of ifoo Co., Ltd.). They jointly secured GeckoSystems' first Japanese order.
Due to the recent Japanese catastrophic earthquake and consequent tsunami, the shipment was initially delayed.
"We have worked diligently for more than ten years to secure a foothold in the world's fourth largest economy, Japan. Because of these many years of failures and our numerous sales attempts, I am very pleased to announce this shipment for the initial order for our 'collision proof' wheelchair upgrade kits," stated Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems. "We give full credit to Mr. Yasumatsu's and Kato's tenacity and hard work in achieving this noteworthy milestone. We expect receipt of one of the first two of Imasen's state of the art wheelchairs for our 'collision proof' upgrading at our R&D lab late this month since they are being shipped by economical marine freight due to their weight."
GeckoSystems recently announced that GeckoImager(TM) enables this new product development. This invention uses sensor fusion incorporating structured light machine vision and sonar range finding to compliment GeckoOrient's(TM) solid-state compass, accelerometer and odometry sensor fusion. This provides its automatic, self-navigation artificial intelligence (AI) software, GeckoNav(TM), with sufficient and timely data to achieve actionable situation awareness while providing a very safe, loose crowd level of autonomy to be "collision proof."
The upgrade kit (GWK001) leverages core technologies GeckoSystems has developed for its flagship product, the CareBot(TM), combined with recent advances in sensor technology, to create a cost effective upgrade kit for wheelchair obstacle avoidance. The recent creation of GeckoImager and its ability to fuse multiple stationary sensors to achieve the level of situational awareness required for navigation has allowed GeckoSystems to pursue this new application.
The GWK001 recently sold to Imasen, may be added to most joystick operated electric wheelchairs. The wheelchair occupant would simply move the joystick in the direction they wish to go. Then GeckoNav -- in concert with multiple GeckoSavants(TM) managed by the GeckoSuper(TM) -- would automatically seek the desired direction while avoiding any and all stationary or moving obstacles. The cost to the end user, completely installed, is only a few thousand dollars for this heightened level of safety for not only the occupant of the wheelchair, but also those persons around them.
