A four-legged inspection robot with integrated visual, thermal and acoustic sensing. ANYmal navigates industrial facilities, including stairs, and returns equipment observations to maintenance teams. Automatic docking supports repeated rounds, while inspection software turns measurements into information people can act on.

The useful work

  • Visual inspection
  • Thermal inspection
  • Acoustic measurements
  • Routine operator rounds

The workplaces

  • Energy
  • Chemicals
  • Mining
  • Utilities

How people fit in

Inspectors define measurement points, review findings and direct maintenance interventions.

Availability & deployment

Commercial inspection solution with a vendor consultation route and published industrial use cases. Standard ANYmal and the separately specified ANYmal X have different environmental capabilities; confirm the correct configuration for the site.

Before deploying ANYmal

These are editorial procurement questions, not results of independent product testing.

  • Which sensors and analytics are included, and what needs additional integration?
  • Can the inspection route, stairs and environmental conditions be demonstrated?
  • How are observations reviewed, and who decides on maintenance action?
