Ep. 20: Innovators: How Gecko-Like Robots Improve Power Reliability

In This Episode 

Host: Todd Snitchler, President and CEO, Electric Power Supply Association  

Guest: Jake Loosararian, Founder and CEO, Gecko Robotics 

In this month’s episode, EPSA President and CEO Todd Snitchler sits down with Jake Loosararian, founder of Gecko Robotics, to discuss ways in which new technology can strengthen reliability and improve cost in the electric grid. Featured in Forbes Magazine as well as Hive Ventures’ 30 Under 30, Loosararian has received critical acclaim for what started as a college project and has since then played a key hand in revolutionizing infrastructure technology.  

Loosararian’s invention – small, gecko-like wall-climbing robots – collect critical data, helping mitigate the dangerous conditions power plant workers face as well as garnering information millions of times more efficiently than a human can. Gecko Robotics’ technology can help protect critical infrastructure in power plants and refineries nationwide, helping maintain reliability and affordability through a changing grid. 

“The robot[s are] able to do the inspection at least ten times faster than a human could even set up the infrastructure to go see things, but also capture thousands of times more data. And now we’re at millions of times more data than ever before to be that many times better at predicting when things will fail.”
