Listen to this articleANYbotics creates autonomous walking robots to solve customer problems in challenging environments so far only accessible to humans. Their robots apply to a range of applications in industries such as energy, processing, chemical, railways, construction, mines, maritime, and many more. ANYbotics was founded in 2016 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) to lead the way in developing mobile robotics for industrial applications. The company consists of a team of 50+ employees and closely collaborates with world-leading universities. Below is our recent interview with Péter Fankhauser, Co-founder and CEO of ANYbotics:
Q: What are some of the real-world results enterprises can expect with your solution?
A: Our autonomous mobile robots provide the means to achieve full inspection coverage in complex industrial environments. Carrying inspection sensors, the system provides fully automated robotic inspection and surveillance in a so far unattainable accuracy, reliability, safety, coverage, and cost-effectiveness. The robotic platform ANYmal moves on four legs to navigate complex terrain and climb industrial-grade stairs providing extreme mobility over traditional robotic platforms.
