Gecko Robotics founder Jake Loosararian asserts the UAE has become a top five robotic nation, thanks to Adnoc's adoption of technology. The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, in partnership with Gecko, leverages robots and AI to stimulate GDP growth. Adnoc has utilized Gecko's robots and products for various tasks, facilitating data collection to optimize workflows.
Loosararian believes the UAE's prominence in robotics stems from companies like Adnoc's rapid embrace of technology and innovative application.

Gecko signed three agreements with Adnoc in 2025 to integrate robotics and AI into oil company operations, aiming to enhance efficiency and train Emiratis.
While robotics garners significant attention, Loosararian emphasizes the importance of applying robots to mundane yet essential tasks, such as energy infrastructure inspections and data recording. He emphasizes that true technological revolution lies in the practicality and impact of these robots.
