Key Terms

native color lidar technical

Native color LiDAR is a light-based 3D sensing system that captures precise distance measurements and true-color imagery together, producing a full-color three-dimensional map rather than a black-and-white scan. For investors it matters because this integrated output reduces the need for separate cameras or time-consuming color-matching, speeds automated analysis for mapping, inspection and autonomous systems, and can improve product accuracy, usefulness and market competitiveness.

digital twin technical

A digital twin is a live virtual replica of a physical asset, process, or system that mirrors real-world behavior using data and models so users can test changes, predict problems, and measure performance without touching the real thing. For investors, digital twins matter because they can lower maintenance costs, speed product development, improve uptime and reliability, and make future cash flows and risks easier to forecast — like using a flight simulator to safely train and tune a real airplane.

ai-powered software technical

Software that uses artificial intelligence techniques—such as machine learning—to analyze data, make predictions, or automate decisions without being explicitly programmed for every task. Investors care because it can improve efficiency, create new revenue streams, and lower costs much like a smart assistant that learns from experience; that potential can boost growth prospects but also carries risks around accuracy, data needs, and regulation.

atm offering financial

An at-the-market offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly into the stock market over time, usually through a designated sales program. This approach allows the company to raise funds gradually as needed, similar to adding small amounts of fuel to a car rather than filling the tank all at once. For investors, it can influence the company's stock price and provide insights into its financing plans.

rule 424(b)(3) regulatory

Rule 424(b)(3) is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing rule that governs how updated prospectus information about a securities offering is formally added to an existing registration statement. For investors, seeing a 424(b)(3) filing means the company has officially recorded new offering details – like the number of shares, pricing range or other terms – so it’s a reliable place to check the latest, legally required disclosures; think of it as the official addendum to a product manual that must be filed before the product is sold.

preliminary proxy statement regulatory

A preliminary proxy statement is an advance draft of the information a company will send shareholders before a vote, outlining items like board elections, mergers, executive pay, and shareholder proposals. It matters to investors because it lays out what will be decided, management’s recommendations, and key facts that can affect a company’s direction and stock value — like receiving the agenda and background packet before a town-hall vote.

rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

warrants financial

Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ouster, Inc. (Nasdaq: OUST) (“Ouster” or the “Company”), a leader in sensing and perception for Physical AI, announced today that Gecko Robotics, a leader in combining advanced robotics and AI-powered software, is leveraging Ouster’s new Rev8 digital lidar sensors to integrate novel data layers into its Cantilever operating platform.

Gecko's Komodo robot equipped with an Ouster Rev8 OS0 native color lidar.

Gecko Robotics currently utilizes Ouster’s digital lidar to navigate complex industrial environments and create high-fidelity digital twins of critical assets. As Gecko continues to scale its Cantilever operating platform, Ouster’s new Rev8 sensor suite offers an opportunity to further enhance Gecko’s data capture and push the boundaries of its “detect and repair" missions.

For Gecko Robotics, the capabilities of Ouster’s Rev8 translate directly into more reliable inspections. By leveraging Rev8’s unique ability to output inherently colorized, structured 3D data alongside ambient infrared and intensity data, Gecko’s AI software can more easily detect structural anomalies previously difficult to visualize.

“To protect the world's most critical infrastructure, Gecko is always experimenting with best-in-class sensors that enable richer data collection. Ouster's Rev8 lidar represents a massive leap in sensing capability,” said Chase David, Forward-Deployed Engineer at Gecko Robotics. “By capturing every 3D point in full color with even greater precision, our software can do more than just map the physical world – it can understand asset health with better certainty and deliver more actionable data to our customers.”

"Gecko Robotics is at the forefront of protecting critical infrastructure and we are proud to support their robotics platforms with Ouster digital lidar," said Cyrille Jacquemet, Chief Revenue Officer at Ouster. "Our new Rev8 sensors provide the unprecedented 3D color required to turn complex industrial data into predictive asset health insights, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in automated inspection."

About Gecko Robotics

Gecko Robotics combines advanced robotics and AI-powered software to build, operate and modernize the world’s most critical infrastructure. Using robots that climb, crawl, fly and swim, Gecko is able to collect an unprecedented amount of data on the built world, whether that’s with Fortune 100 companies in energy, oil and gas, and manufacturing sectors around the world, or the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy to protect and optimize nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. Through its AI-powered platform, Cantilever, Gecko transforms the massive datasets collected by robots into actionable insights that enable data-driven, evidence-based decisions on structures, delivering an ROI for customers.
