Alternatives to Gecko Robotics stock
Many investors may be disappointed to find that picking up shares of Gecko Robotics isn't a possibility for them. Some people, however, who qualify as accredited investors may be able to gain a position in Gecko Robotics through platforms like Forge Global (NYSE:FRGE).
On the other hand, those who don't qualify as accredited investors still have other opportunities to gain exposure to both AI stocks and robotics stocks.
1. ABB
A global leader in robotics, ABB (OTC:ABBN.Y) is an excellent alternative for those unable to buy Gecko Robotics stock, and it will appeal to investors seeking a more conservative approach to the burgeoning robotics industry. The company has a market capitalization of approximately $180 billion, and it's generating strong free cash flow, increasing 17% to $4.6 billion in 2025 and $881 million in the second quarter of 2026.
ABB provides customers with a predictive maintenance solution with ABB Ability Asset Health. According to ABB, the solution helps customers reduce the risk of unplanned downtime for their assets, achieve up to 40% reductions in maintenance costs, and realize up to 15% increases in asset lifetimes.
Further expanding its predictive maintenance prowess, ABB announced in February 2024 its plan to acquire SEAM Group, which specializes in the predictive maintenance of more than 1 million power assets for over 800 customers located around the world.
2. Nvidia
For investors drawn to the intersection of AI and robotics, Nvidia (NVDA +0.84%) is a logical consideration. With the integration of various libraries and AI models, the Nvidia Isaac platform helps customers accelerate the development of AI robots, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), humanoid robots, and industrial manipulation arms.
For people new to AI investing and who are looking for broad exposure to the rapidly growing field, Nvidia is a great choice. The company is consistently innovating in the design of graphics processing units (GPUs) required for AI computing. Nvidia also is innovating in humanoid robotics. The company announced in March 2024 Project Groot, an initiative dedicated to advancing embedded AI and robotics, and one that's drawing interest from leading robotics companies such as Boston Dynamics and Figure AI.
In addition to humanoid robots, the company is designing solutions for AMRs. According to Nvidia, its Isaac Nova Orin platform is designed to improve reliability and reduce development costs for building mobile robots.
3. PTC
From aerospace and defense to energy to pharmaceuticals, PTC (PTC -6.04%) is a software company that provides its solutions to a wide variety of businesses. And it does it extremely well. In fact, PTC is also one of the ideal opportunities for investors seeking 3D printing exposure.
The draw for those interested in Gecko Robotics, however, stems from the company's software expertise in predictive maintenance. With these solutions, PTC estimates its customers can achieve up to a 30% reduction in unplanned downtime and as much as an 83% increase in service resolutions. The company's ThingWorx Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) Platform, for example, uses AI and machine learning to analyze massive amounts of data collected from Internet of Things (IoT) assets to anticipate and prevent service interruptions.
In terms of its financials, PTC has excelled at maximizing free cash flow. While the company has increased its revenue at a 6.6% CAGR from fiscal years 2014 to 2025, it has boosted its free cash flow per share at a 21.3% CAGR over the last decade.
