Its ANYmal robots excel in autonomous navigation, advanced mobility, and real-time data collection, performing inspections, remote operations, and predictive maintenance even in hazardous or hard-to-reach areas. ANYmal detects issues like equipment overheating, abnormal vibrations, and gas leaks, providing early warnings of asset degradation. AI-powered features enable collision avoidance, stair climbing, and full autonomy across complex sites.

With over 200 ANYmal units shipped, the robots conduct thousands of weekly inspections across oil and gas, mining, power, utilities, and metals industries.

ANYbotics is preparing to launch ANYmal X, the world’s first Ex-certified legged robot, designed for hazardous and explosive environments. Supported by Climate Investment, it is expected to reach customers in 2026 enabling continuous, safe inspection in explosive zones.

This follows strong growth, including €57 million raised in December 2024 and €46 million in May 2023, as reported by EU-Startups.

“ANYbotics’ technology has the potential to significantly enhance industrial inspection” said Felicity O’Kelly, Investment Director at CI. “By bringing cutting-edge robotics technology into the industrial sector ANYmal is helping operators meet emissions goals while improving operational resilience particularly in the oil and gas sector where safety is paramount. This investment aligns perfectly with CI’s mission to accelerate decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors.”

ANYbotics’ robots are already in use with multiple Climate Investment (CI) Limited Partners, including bp, Equinor, ENI, and Petrobras, as well as partners and customers such as SLB, Siemens Energy, Siemens AG, GE Vernova, Novelis, Outokumpu, AWS, SAP, Yokogawa, and NVIDIA.

A notable deployment is at Norway’s Northern Lights Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facility, a joint venture by Equinor, TotalEnergies, and Shell. Operating autonomously at the normally uncrewed site, ANYmal monitors CO2 levels and performs regular inspections, delivering automatic analyses and anomaly reports to operators, enhancing safety, uptime, and overall asset integrity.
