Ex-Proof Operations
ANYmal X provides autonomous robotic inspections in Oil & Gas and Chemicals facilities. The robot is certified for
operation in Zone 1 according to the IECEx and ATEX standards. The system is also fully IP67 ingress protected and
ready for long-term deployment in harsh outdoor environments.

Extreme Mobility
ANYmal X’s legged design and AI-based mobility software provide unprecedented mobility and performance. Combined with its obstacle avoidance capabilities, the robot is ready for use in complex and dynamic environments. The robot reliably navigates any environment and traverses rough terrain with ease. ANYmal X completes even challenging missions requiring it to climb steep stairs, pass through narrow corridors, or conquer rocky, slippery, or wet surfaces.
Full autonomy
ANYmal X’s unparalleled ability to perceive and navigate its environment powers fully autonomous operation. Once it maps an environment, the robot remembers every detail and can dynamically plan the best route to perform its mission, even without an internet connection. The robot can avoid collisions, plan & re-plan paths, and recharge autonomously in a safe zone. All this together enables safe, efficient, and continuous autonomous operation.
Teach ANYmal X once where to go and what to do for repetitive inspection routines.
Import CAD / BIM
Import your existing CAD models to virtually set up inspection points, paths, and missions.
Navigation Waypoints
ANYmal X uses the points for autonomous navigation.
Inspection Points & Mission Setup
Inspection points are defined as a special navigation goal for the robot.
Collision Avoidance Modes
The robot employs multiple modes to avoid collisions and safely stop near cliffs.
Automated Safe Zone Charging
The docking station enables continuous autonomous operation and is also defined as a point of interest during setup of the facility environment.

Intelligent Industrial Inspection
ANYmal X’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.
Detecting Events
Unforeseen technical events can result in hazardous situations. Equipped with precision sensors, ANYmal X detects dangerous conditions in the environment and triggers a warning when required
Checking Health of Equipment
Early signs of operating problems are caught by examining the general health of the equipment. During the inspection, ANYmal X checks critical points for anomalies and reports severe problems immediately.
3D Environment Scanning
Industrial environments require continuous tracking of structural changes. ANYmal X supports operations by scanning and documenting 3d environmental data.
Inspection Reporting
Generate reports of inspection results, export results to data portals or digital twin, or see inspection results live in the GUI
