US Has Pent-Up Demand for Eldercare Capable Personal Robots
From: Marketwire - 07/07/2009

GeckoSystems announced today that they expect pent-up demand for their cost
effective, home based eldercare personal robots. This new type of modern
eldercare will postpone, if not eliminate, many elderly persons from having
to endure the loneliness and loss of independence when living in nursing
homes, and other assisted living facilities. Their families can now better
manage the difficult decisions regarding independence they allow their now
dependent aged parent while minimizing the concern and risk the adult
caregiving child is willing to assume to enable an acceptable level of
independence for their now dependent parent. 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".
