GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (PINKSHEETS: GCKO) (http://www.geckosystems.com/) -- announced today at their "Mobile Robots in Motion" Conference that they are now soliciting business-to-business licensing opportunities for their "Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security, and Service?."

"For the past three months we have been using our suite of mobile robot solutions in our first business-to-consumer (B2C) product, the CareBot?, in our elder care robot trials. During this real world testing we have gained sufficient confidence to offer these proprietary solutions to those firms and/or individuals interested in manufacturing and distributing into the various business-to-business (B2B) markets such as professional healthcare, commercial security, public safety, and government. Demonstrably GeckoSystems has viable, cost effective solutions for not only software navigation, verbal interaction, and event scheduling; but also multiple, low cost sensor fusion solutions and differential drive locomotion management," remarked Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems.

GeckoNav?is the GeckoSavant?developed by GeckoSystems that enables their mobile robots to express reliable automatic self-navigation and avoid unforeseen obstacles whether static and/or dynamic while ambulating. This is achieved using a low clock, low power x86 CPU. Sometimes this level of autonomy is referred to as "loose crowd capable" due to its fully autonomous (hands off) ability to automatically path find through a loose crowd of moving people.

Another GeckoSavant, GeckoChat?, uses voice recognition/synthesis and a forward chaining expert system to enable verbal interaction and/or command and control of the CareBot. GeckoScheduler?is a date and time aware database manager that provides the CareBot with event timing for verbal reminders, errand running, patrolling, tracking, etc. Common sense management and coordination between all GeckoSavants is accomplished using the GeckoSuper?.

GeckoOrient?fuses sensor data from three disparate orientation subsystems to achieve better absolute accuracy than any single orientation subsystem, without accumulative error, but at lower cost than a single high accuracy device.

GeckoSystems' CompoundedSensorArray?displaces expensive and slow machine vision solutions with sufficient situation awareness of the environment to enable GeckoNav to avoid even unexpected obstacles while patrolling, following, or errand running.

The GeckoSPIO?is their robot controller board that orchestrates, collects and disseminates hundreds of sensor data inputs per second. Additionally it enables management of the locomotion system in near real time using the GeckoMotorController?which not only minimizes power consumption by careful, adaptive management of the acceleration and de-acceleration of the locomotion motors' speeds, but also enables differential drives to travel in a straight line when requested to do so.

"For nearly four years we have worked to develop, debug, refine and test all the foregoing mobile robot solutions, and more. All of our proprietary solutions have been designed to be portable and extensible. I am very pleased to be making these solutions available to those in the B2B markets presently engaged, or considering involvement in the emerging industry of mobile robotics," commented Mark Peele, Vice President, R&D, GeckoSystems.

About GeckoSystems International Corporation:

Since 1997, GeckoSystems has developed a comprehensive, coherent, and sufficient suite of hardware and software inventions to enable a new type of home appliance (a personal robot) the CareBot?, to be created for the mass consumer marketplace. The suite of primary inventions includes: GeckoNav?, GeckoChat?and GeckoTrak?.

The primary market for this product is the family for use in eldercare, care for the chronically ill, and childcare. The primary distribution channel for this new home appliance is the thousands of independent personal computer retailers in the U.S. The manufacturing infrastructure for this new product category of mobile service robots is essentially the same as the personal computer industry. Several outside contract manufacturers have been identified and qualified their ability to produce up to 1,000 CareBots per month within four to six months.

The Company is market driven. At the time of founding, over twelve years ago, the Company did extensive primary market research to determine the demographic profile of the early adopters of the then proposed product line. Subsequent to, and based on that original market research, they have assembled numerous focus groups to evaluate the fit of the CareBot personal robot into the participant's lives and their expected usage. The Company has also frequently employed the Delphi market research methodology by contacting and interviewing senior executives, practitioners, and researchers knowledgeable in the area of elder care. Using this factual basis of internally performed primary and secondary market research, and third party research is the statistical substance for the Company's sales forecasts.
