SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 21, 2026--

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 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."

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Busch died after severe pneumonia progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming associated complications, according to a statement released by his family.

Dakota Hunter, vice president of Kyle Busch Companies, said in a news release the family received the medical evaluation on Saturday.

Busch, a two-time NASCAR champion, died at 41 on Thursday, a day after passing out in a Chevrolet simulator.

Sepsis is considered a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the body has an extreme, overactive response to an infection, causing the immune system to damage its own tissues and organs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Typically the immune system releases chemicals to fight off pathogens like bacteria, viruses or fungi, but with sepsis the response goes into overdrive. The results can cause widespread inflammation, form microscopic blood clots and make blood vessels leak.

Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10 and radioed in to his team saying that he needed a “shot” from a doctor after the race.

Busch, who was preparing to race Sunday at the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, was testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord on Wednesday when he became unresponsive and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte, several people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

During the emergency call placed late that afternoon, an unidentified caller calmly told the dispatch: “I’ve got an individual that’s (got) shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he’s going to pass out, and is producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood.”

The caller said Busch was lying on the bathroom floor inside the complex and told dispatch “he is awake,” according to audio provided by the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office. The man then gave directions on where emergency responders should go and asked that they turn off any sirens upon arrival.

Busch won 234 races across NASCAR’s top three series, more than any driver in history.

All 39 drivers in the field for Sunday’s race will race with a black No. 8 decal on their car to honor Busch.
