July 22nd, 2010-- GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. (PINKSHEETS: GCKO) (http://www.geckosystems.com/) announced today that Sprint Nextel Corporation, a major US telecommunications company, has extended contractual terms and conditions accepted by GeckoSystems such that the expansion of their world's first elder care robot trials can be achieved in a more timely fashion. GeckoSystems is a dynamic leader in the emerging Mobile Service Robot industry revolutionizing their development and usage with "Mobile Robot Solutions for Safety, Security, and Service(tm)." "A month ago we distributed a press release announcing our discussions with this Fortune 500 corporation.Now we are very pleased to make known our first contractual agreement with them. In it, amongst other important benefits, they extend special pricing for our elder care robot trial participants," remarked Martin Spencer, President/CEO, GeckoSystems Intl. Corp. "Our Emerging Solutions team has reviewed your site and is very impressed with your concept and solution. In addition to being a very cool product, it truly serves a need for all families going though the aging process. Congratulations on your accomplishments so far. The market is ready for rapidly embracing and adopting this type of 'human service' solution," remarked Russell Mossburg, Director, Solutions Engineering, Emerging Solutions Group, Sprint Nextel Corp. Since late last year GeckoSystems has been involved in the world's first in home elder care robot trials to learn more about the realities of providing families with more cost effective solutions to enable them to take better care of their elderly parents with less worry, time and money. Here's what one of the GeckoSystems elder care robot trial participants has said: "Initially I was concerned that my elderly mother would be a little frightened by the CareBot(tm) and not want it in her room, but that is not the case.She likes it and seems pleased to have this 'companion' in close proximity. When it speaks to her she answers back and is delighted at having a conversation with the robot!And she takes in what the CareBot says to her as being authoritative. When I tell her it is time for her shower she does not want to do it and tries to procrastinate. When the CareBot tells her it is time for her shower, she gets ready.I never thought a robot would have more influence over my mother than I do!" "We are learning that valued family behaviors can be readily expressed to the care receiver using a CareBot due to the robustness of its functionality. We continue to look forward to further exploration and understanding of the social interaction between the family, the CareBot, and the care receiver in the coming weeks and months of these in home assistive care robot trials.With our trials progressing nicely, we have already learned a great deal as to the reality of beneficial social interaction between human and robot in domestic settings as depicted in the testimonial above. There seems to be a very important positive -- and unforeseen by some parties -- beneficial impact of valued family behaviors for all the family in using a CareBot to also communicate their thoughts and feelings to their beloved family members," commented Spencer. The elderly frequently endure loneliness and/or loss of independence when living in nursing homes or other assisted living facilities. This new type of remote medical monitoring system, a CareBot, will postpone, if not eliminate that trauma to them. Their families can now better manage the difficult decisions regarding the independence they allow their now dependent parent while holding the risk for the adult caregiver at an acceptable, tolerable level. "At this time we are negotiating additional key agreements that will enable more insightful discussions with Sprint, et al. We work very hard to continue to secure those strategic relationships that will enable us to effectively address our forecasted pent up demand for cost effective, utilitarian elder care capable personal assistant robots.Our elder care robot trials continue to reveal to us unexpected benefits for the family and heightened confidence that our 1300+ stockholders will enjoy the ROI they deserve," concluded Spencer.

Corp.: 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(tm), to be created for the mass consumer marketplace. The suite of primary inventions includes: GeckoNav(tm), GeckoChat(tm) and GeckoTrak(tm). 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. Not surprisingly the scientific statistical analyses applied revealed that elderly over sixty-five living alone in metropolitan areas with broadband Internet available and sufficient household incomes to support the increased costs were identified as those most likely to adopt initially. Due to the high cost of assisted living, nursing homes, etc. the payback for a CareBot(tm) is expected to be only six to eight months while keeping elderly care receivers independent, in their own long time homes, and living longer due to the comfort and safety of more frequent attention from their loved ones. "We project the available market size in dollars for cost effective, utilitarian, multitasking eldercare personal robots in 2011 to be $74.0B, in 2012 to be $77B, in 2013 to be $80B, in 2014 to be $83.3B, and in 2015 to be $86.6B.With market penetrations of 0.03% in 2011, 0.06% in 2012, 0.22% in 2013, 0.53% in 2014, and 0.81% in 2015, we will anticipate CareBot sales, from this consumer market segment, only, of $22.0M, $44.0M, $176M, $440.2M, and $704.3M, respectively.We expect these sales despite -- and perhaps because of -- the present recession due to pent up demand for significant cost reduction in eldercare expenses," opined Spencer. The foregoing forecasts do not include sales in non-metropolitan areas; elderly couples over 65 (only elderly living alone are in these forecasts); those chronically ill -- regardless of age -- or elderly living with their adult children. The Company's "mobile robot solutions for safety, security and service(tm)" are appropriate not only for the consumer, but also professional healthcare, commercial security and defense markets. Professional healthcare require cost effective, timely errand running, portable telemedicine, etc. Homeland Security requires cost effective mobile robots to patrol and monitor public venues for weapons and WMD detection. Military users desire the elimination of the "man in the loop" to enable unmanned ground and air vehicles to not require constant human control and/or intervention. The Company's business model is very much like that of an automobile manufacturer. Due to the final assembly, test, and shipping being done based on geographic and logistic realities; strategic business-to-business relationships can range from private labeling to joint manufacturing and distribution to licensing only. Several dozen patent opportunities exist for the Company due to the many innovative and cost effective breakthroughs embodied not only in GeckoNav, GeckoChat, and GeckoTrak, but also in additional, secondary systems that include: GeckoOrient(tm), GeckoMotorController(tm), the GeckoTactileShroud(tm), the CompoundedSensorArray(tm), and the GeckoSPIO(tm). The present senior management at GeckoSystems has over thirty-five years experience in consumer electronics sales and marketing and product development. Senior managers have been identified for the areas of manufacturing, marketing, sales, and finance. While GeckoSystems has been in the Development Stage, the Company has accumulated losses to date in excess of six million dollars. In contrast, the Japanese government has spent one hundred million dollars in grants (to Sanyo, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, NEC, etc.) over the same time period to develop personal robots for their eldercare crisis, yet no viable solutions have been developed. GeckoSystems is the first mobile robot developer in the world to begin actual in-home eldercare evaluation trials. What Does a CareBot Do for the Care Giver? The short answer is that it decreases the difficulty and stress for the caregiver that needs to watch over Grandma, Mom, or other family members most, if not much, of the time day in and day out due to concerns about their well being, safety, and security. But, first let's look at some other labor saving, automatic home appliances most of us use routinely.For example, needing to do two or more necessary chores and/or activities at the same time, like laundering clothes and preparing supper.The automatic washing machine needs no human intervention after the dirty clothes are placed in the washer, the laundry powder poured in, and the desired wash cycle set. Then, this labor saving appliance runs automatically until the washed clothes are ready to be placed in another labor saving home appliance, the automatic clothes dryer. While the clothes are being washed and/or dried, the caregiver prepares supper using several time saving home appliances like the microwave oven, "crock" pot, blender, and conventional stove, with possible convection oven capabilities. After supper, the dirty pots, pans, and dishes are placed in the automatic dishwasher to be washed and dried while the family retires to the den to watch TV, and/or the kids to do homework.Later, perhaps after the kids have gone to bed, the caregiver may then have the time to fold, sort, and put up the now freshly laundered clothes. So what does a CareBot do for the caregiver? It is a new type of labor saving, time management automatic home appliance. For example, the care giver frequently feels time stress when they need to go shopping for 2 or 3 hours, and are uncomfortable when they have to be away for more than an hour or so. Time stress is much worse for the caregiver with a frail elderly parent that must be reminded to take medications at certain times of the day.How can the caregiver be away for 3-4 hours when Grandma must take her prescribed medication every 2 or 3 hours?If the caregiver is trapped in traffic for an hour or two beyond the 2 or 3 they expected to be gone, this "time stress" can be very difficult for the caregiver to moderate. Not infrequently, the primary caregiver has a 24 hour, 7 days a week responsibility.After weeks and weeks of this sometimes tedious, if not onerous routine, how does the caregiver get a "day off?"To bring in an outsider is expensive (easily $75-125 per day for just 8 hours) and there is the concern that medication will be missed or the care receiver have an accident requiring immediate assistance by the caregiver, or someone they must designate. And the care receiver may be very resistant to a "stranger" coming in to her home and "running things." So what is it worth for a care receiver to have an automatic system to help take care of Grandma?Just 3 or 4 days a month "off" on a daylong shopping trip, a visit with friends, or just take in a movie would cost $225-500 per month.And that scenario assumes that Grandma is willing to be taken care of by a "stranger" during those needed and appropriate days off. So perhaps, an automatic caregiver, a CareBot, might be pretty handy, and potentially very cost effective from the primary caregiver's perspective. What Does a CareBot Do for the Care Receiver? It's a new kind of companion that always stays close to them enabling family and friends to care for them from afar. It tells them jokes, retells family anecdotes, reminds them to take medication, reminds them that family is coming over soon (or not at all), recites Bible verses, plays favorite songs and/or other music.It alerts them when unexpected visitors, or intruders are present.It notifies designated caregivers when a potentially harmful event has occurred, such as a fall, fire in the home, or simply been not found by the CareBot for too long. It responds to calls for help and notifies those that the caregiver determined should be immediately notified when any predetermined adverse event occurs. The family can customize the personality of the CareBot.The voice's cadence can be fast or slow.The intonation can be breathy, or abrupt. The voice's volume can range from very loud to very soft. The response phrases from the CareBot for recognized words and phrases can be colloquial and/or unique to the family's own heritage. The personality can range from brassy to timid depending on how the care giver, and others appropriate, chooses it to be. Generally, the care receiver is pleased at the prospect of family being able to drop in for a "virtual visit" using the onboard webcam and video monitor for at home "video conferencing."The care receiver may feel much more needed and appreciated when their far flung family and friends can "look in" on them any where in the world where they can get broadband internet access and simply chat for a bit. Why is Grandma really interested in a CareBot?She wants to stay in her home, or her family's home, as long as she possibly can.What's that worth?Priceless.Or, an average nursing home is $5,000 per month for an environment that is too often the beginning of a spiral downward in the care receiver's health.That's probably $2-3K more per month for them to be placed where they really don't want to be.
