ANYbotics develops autonomous four-legged inspection robots that automate industrial inspections in complex, hazardous, and explosive environments. Their ANYmal robots provide actionable data insights that increase plant uptime, reduce costs, and improve worker safety across heavy industries.
Perfect for
ANYbotics is best suited for large industrial operators who need to automate routine inspections in complex, hazardous, or hard-to-reach environments. Ideal users include:
- Oil and gas companies operating offshore platforms, FPSOs, and onshore extraction and processing facilities, particularly those with ATEX-rated explosive zones
- Chemical manufacturers managing multi-floor production plants with Ex-rated areas requiring intrinsically safe equipment
- Power and utility companies running thermal, nuclear, solar, or high-voltage transmission facilities that need continuous monitoring without shutdowns
- Mining and metals operators seeking to reduce worker exposure to hazardous conditions at extraction and processing sites
- Railway and transportation companies needing consistent rolling stock inspections during off-hours
- Research institutions and universities conducting robotics research in motion control, navigation, perception, and mobile manipulation
Key strengths
World's first and only ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certified legged inspection robot (ANYmal X), enabling autonomous operation in explosive atmospheres where no other legged robot can go
Four-legged AI-driven mobility navigates stairs, grated walkways, cramped spaces, and slippery or uneven terrain without any facility modifications
Comprehensive multi-sensor payload including 20x optical zoom, thermal imaging, LiDAR, acoustic sensing, and gas detection for holistic asset monitoring
Proven deployments with major global operators including Equinor, BASF, Shell, Petronas, Vale, and Outokumpu across diverse industrial verticals
Open API enables integration with existing fleet management systems and operational platforms, as demonstrated with Equinor's open-source Flotilla software
Considerations
Focused exclusively on industrial inspection in heavy industry; not applicable to ecommerce, warehousing, or logistics fulfillment use cases
High-value enterprise solution requiring significant capital investment, with no self-service or small-business pricing tier mentioned
Limited battery life of approximately two hours per charge, requiring autonomous docking station infrastructure for continuous operations
Primarily serves oil and gas, chemicals, mining, power, and transportation industries; limited relevance outside heavy industrial verticals

About ANYbotics
ANYbotics is a Swiss robotics company founded in 2016 that designs and manufactures autonomous legged robots for industrial inspection. Their flagship product, ANYmal, is a four-legged robot that autonomously navigates complex multi-floor industrial facilities, including stairs, grated walkways, and slippery or bumpy terrain, to perform routine inspections without human intervention. The company serves major industrial operators across oil and gas, chemicals, power and utilities, mining and metals, railway transportation, and research sectors, with customers including Equinor, BASF, Shell, Petronas, Vale, Outokumpu, BP, and Siemens Energy.
ANYbotics offers two primary robot variants: ANYmal D for general industrial environments and ANYmal X, the world's first ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 certified legged inspection robot designed for explosive atmospheres. Both robots carry a comprehensive sensor payload including 20x optical zoom cameras, thermal cameras (measuring -10 to +400 degrees Celsius), LiDAR scanners, microphones, spotlights, and optional gas sensing modules. The robots autonomously collect visual, thermal, acoustic, and gas concentration data, then feed it into ANYbotics' Data Navigator platform, which transforms raw inspection data into actionable insights for predictive maintenance and anomaly detection.
With over 200 employees across 20 nationalities and headquarters in Zurich, ANYbotics has raised significant venture funding, including a $50M Series B round, backed by investors such as NGP Capital, Aramco Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Qualcomm Ventures, and Climate Investment. The company has scaled production beyond 1,000 ANYmal units through a manufacturing partnership with Zollner and operates a global reseller network with partners in South Korea, Chile, and Taiwan. ANYbotics provides pilot installations worldwide and offers an API for integration with customers' existing fleet management and operational systems.
