End-to-end Workflow
Extreme Mobility
ANYmal’s legs provide unparalleled mobility when moving up and down stairs, climbing over obstacles, steps, and gaps, and crawling into tight spaces. It delivers reliable performance in harsh indoor and outdoor environments and through rain, splash water, wind, snow, and dust.
Full autonomy
ANYmal autonomously navigates complex multi-story environments. Once guided through the environment, the robot remembers every detail and finds the quickest route to perform its mission. During operation, the robot’s system safely avoids obstacles and reliably moves over rough terrain.
Teach ANYmal once where to go and what to do for repetitive inspection routines.
Obstacle avoidance
Built-in depth sensors perceive obstacles around the robot for smooth navigation.
Large-scale localization
ANYmal localizes at centimeter-accuracy in both confined spaces and large open environments.
Tele-operation
Whenever needed, take over control and operate ANYmal manually with a view from its front and back cameras.
Automatic docking
After finishing its mission, ANYmal connects itself to a docking station for recharging.
Range extension
Expand ANYmal’s inspection routes by deploying multiple docking stations at different locations.

Inspection intelligence
ANYmal’s inspection payload provides visual, thermal, and acoustic insights for condition monitoring of equipment and infrastructure. The pan-tilt unit is used for scanning the environment around the robot and accurately positioning the built-in sensors for inspections of points of interest. AI-based inspection algorithms analyze the sensory data to interpret values, classify results, and detect anomalies.
Components
Zoom camera
The visual camera provides a 20× optical zoom to take clear images and videos at far distances at 4K resolution.
Thermal camera
The thermal camera provides precise temperature readings in a range of -20–500°C without physical interaction.
Spotlight
The LED spotlight is used to support visual inspections in low-light conditions.
Ultrasonic microphone
Directional microphone for recording acoustic measurements in the audible and ultrasonic frequency range.
Pan-tilt unit
The high-range motion of the pan-tilt unit together with the robot base motion positions the sensors to check hard-to-reach places.
Edge computer
Built-in computation analyzes and protocols sensor readings, eliminating the need for continuous network communication.
Capability Actions
Reading instruments
A broad range of analog instruments and indicators can be digitized. Once trained on a type of instrument, the value or state is reliably identified.
3D Environment scanning
Industrial environments require continuous bookkeeping of structural changes. ANYmal supports operations by scanning and documenting 3d environment data as a digital twin.
Checking health of equipment
Early signs of operating problems are caught by examining the general health of the equipment. During the inspection, ANYmal checks critical points for anomalies and reports severe problems immediately.
Detecting events
Unforeseen technical events can result in hazardous situations. Equipped with sensitive sensors, ANYmal detects dangerous conditions in the environment and triggers a warning when required.
Inspection Reporting
Generate reports of inspection results, export results to data portals or digital twin, or see inspection results live in the GUI
