You make some very good points about GeckoSystems' CareBot. The company has a "first mover" opportunity because I have not been able to find any other robot company doing in-home trials for an eldercare robot.

The CareBot will give the family peace of mind by being able to look in on their elderly relative and keep them out of an assisted living or nursing home facility. I also like the point of one hospital stay possibly being averted with the CareBot monitoring the person at home. The insurance companies should love that!

This is true. The extraordinarily quick pay back and benefits to the family have created significant pent up demand. Since manufacture of personal robots is essentially the same as Dell assembling PC's for shipment. GOSY's contract manufacturer will be able to final assemble, test, and calibrate before shipping to authorized and trained CareBot dealers.

The manufacturing and distribution strategy is that of an automobile manufacturer from what I read on their website.
