Company Overview

Invert Robotics, headquartered in Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand, was founded in 2011 as a spin-off from the University of Canterbury's School of Engineering. The company develops proprietary robotic platforms that use magnetic, vacuum, and hybrid adhesion technologies to climb vertical and inverted surfaces of industrial assets including stainless steel tanks, carbon steel storage vessels, ship hulls, and aircraft fuselages. Its M-series robots are designed specifically for ferromagnetic coated surfaces.

Equipped with non-destructive testing (NDT) sensors and high-definition cameras, the robots conduct internal and external inspection of critical infrastructure without requiring confined space entry or scaffolding erection, reducing safety risks and inspection downtime. Invert Robotics serves the dairy, food and beverage, aviation, petrochemical, and industrial chemical industries. The company has grown from a New Zealand startup to a global operation with offices in Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Australia, and the United States, conducting thousands of tank inspections annually across hundreds of industrial sites.
