Gecko Robotics was selected to apply robotics and AI to Columbia-class submarine manufacturing
Gecko Robotics was selected to apply robotics and AI to Columbia-class submarine manufacturing.
Evidence notes
- Navy to help modernize the manufacturing process for the $132 Billion Columbia-class nuclear submarine program
- The goal of this project will be to validate the return on investment of Gecko’s weld inspection process throughout several tiers of the Columbia-class supply chain
- Navy’s Submarine Industrial Base -- the Navy will incorporate Gecko’s robotic digital weld inspections to assess the integrity of welds during the manufacturing process
Company context
Builds robotic inspection systems and AI software for critical infrastructure, with robots that climb, crawl, swim, and fly to capture high-fidelity asset data across ships, power plants, factories, and other industrial environments. Its core platform, Cantilever, turns robotic and sensor data into a decision layer for maintenance, planning, and asset-life management.
