Activity highlights
Raised €2.5 million in additional funding in December 2023 to expand research and development in Dublin.

Invert Robotics designs and manufactures specialized non-destructive testing (NDT) robotic crawler platforms that operate remotely in confined or hazardous industrial spaces. The company’s technology includes patented vacuum, magnetic, and hybrid adhesion systems, enabling its robots to climb and maneuver across various surfaces, including stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and plastic. By deploying these modular platforms, Invert Robotics replaces the need for human entry into dangerous environments, providing high-precision visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, and laser surface mapping. These solutions are engineered to detect defects at the micron level, ensuring rigorous safety and compliance standards for complex industrial assets.

These robotic systems significantly enhance operational efficiency for clients in industries such as food production, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy, and aerospace. By eliminating the necessity for scaffolding or manual confined space entry, the company minimizes facility downtime, allowing for faster, repeatable, and data-driven maintenance planning. With a track record of thousands of global inspections, Invert Robotics helps plant managers prolong asset integrity, improve workplace safety, and increase overall operations reliability through actionable, high-definition inspection data.
