NIYO use cases
The concrete environments where NIYO's capabilities show up first — chosen for usefulness, not spectacle.
Overview
NIYO's early use cases are chosen because they combine real usefulness, meaningful safety constraints, and clear benchmarks — not because they make good demos.
Each use case is a research vehicle first and a deployment second.
What this covers
Assistive settings
Environments where NIYO augments a human operator meaningfully.
Structured tasks
Well-defined tasks that expose collaboration questions.
Safety-critical
Contexts where safety engineering is central to the research.
Measurable outcomes
Use cases with clear operational metrics.
Human presence
Environments with real people, not empty labs.
Publishable
Learning from each use case advances the field.
