A Pittsburgh robot rolls across a warship's flight deck like a paint roller and reads the steel under the non-skid coating without stripping it, cut one repair job from 1,200 square feet to 300, and the Navy just quadrupled its five-year contract six months after signing it
Gecko's Komodo robot reads warship deck steel through the non-skid coating, cut one repair from 1,200 sq ft to 300, and the Navy raised its ceiling to $300M. A Pittsburgh company has developed a robot that rolls across a warship's flight deck to read the steel under the non-skid coating without stripping it, allowing the Navy to cut a repair job from 1,200 square feet to 300. The robot, named Komodo, scans through thick non-Skid without damaging it and produces a full-deck heatmap of corrosion and steel thickness, allowing repair crews to plan the work before the ship ever enters dry dock. The Navy increased its five-year contract with Gecko Robotics six months into the year after signing it. The technology uses an electromagnet to make the steel vibrate, sending an ultrasonic pulse down through the plate from the inside, which can tell how thick the metal is at that spot.
