INVERSE USE CASES
Industrial Use Cases
INVERSE brings its research into two complementary, real‑world industrial use cases – showing how robots can learn complex tasks from observation and guidance, then reason about execution to improve performance and even invert task cycles when needed (e.g., assembly → disassembly). Humans remain central: they supervise, teach, and adjust the system so it can be deployed in realistic production environments.
Why these use cases?
Both pilots reflect challenges where today’s automation still struggles: high variability, safety‑critical operations, limited time for quality checks, and physically demanding or risky handling tasks. INVERSE validates its methods in settings that matter to industry – circular manufacturing and heavy mechanical production.
Explore the two INVERSE use cases
1) Circular Manufacturing at CRF (Italy): Battery Assembly – Control – Disassembly
Focused on automating quality control in circular manufacturing lines, with monitoring and the ability to support disassembly for repair and recycling.
2) Robot – Crane – Human Interaction (Finland): Short Series Production at Konecranes
Showcasing synchronized collaboration between crane, robot, and operator – supporting safer heavy handling, more efficient lifting‑aid changes, precise positioning, and cycle inversion when a step needs to be undone
