New Zealand firm Invert Robotics is in talks with Dow Chemical and BASF over potential uses for its inspection robot, which uses powerful suction cups to climb walls. Invert Robotics raised $8.8m in financing for the device's commercialisation, which has almost unlimited applications according to MD Neil Fletcher. Yamaha has a strategic interest in developing these types of robotics systems, which prompted the investment from the firm’s skunkworks and investment shop out of Silicon Valley. The robot can be used as a security guard or even an assistant at home.
