ADNOC has extended its partnership with Gecko Robotics by signing three new agreements to deploy robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) across the State-owned UAE oil company’s operations and to boost future skills training for UAE Nationals.
The agreement, signed at the ENACT Majlis in Abu Dhabi, builds on an initial agreement signed by the two in April 2024.
ADNOC and Presight’s joint venture AIQ signed the first of these agreements with Gecko Robotics to deploy the Cantilever operating system across Adnoc Gas’ assets. Another agreement between Adnoc and Gecko Robotics will explore the wider deployment of advanced robotics and AI-powered analytics, potential manufacturing of robotic systems in the UAE, and the deployment of AI solutions for Adnoc’s operational requirements, while a third agreement between Gecko Robotics and ATA for collaboration on training programs.
“Adnoc is harnessing the power of AI and advanced technology to transform the way we work, driving greater efficiency, safety, and performance across our operations. These three agreements mark another stop on our journey to becoming the world’s most AI-enabled energy company as we accelerate robotics deployment, empower local talent, and strengthen the UAE’s position as a global hub for energy innovation,” said Dr Sultan Al Jaber, managing director and group chief executive officer, ADNOC.
“There is a race to lead the AI and energy movement. And the energy companies that win won’t just utilise technology; they will become technology companies. There is only one way to win this race and that’s by acquiring physical data using robotics and unlocking human and machine performance from the AI that data fuels,” said Jake Loosararian, CEO, Gecko Robotics.
A partnership with Gecko Robotics is one of many that the oil company has forged in recent times.
