Autonomous Robots at work
ANYbotics is a robotics company redefining industrial inspection and maintenance with its advanced autonomous legged robot, ANYmal. Designed to improve productivity and safety, ANYmal navigates complex industrial environments, autonomously handling inspections and maintenance in areas hazardous to human workers. Equipped with multi-modal sensors and onboard AI, the robot captures and interprets critical data, enabling real-time, data-driven decision-making and reducing the risk of human error in high-stakes industries like oil, gas, and manufacturing.
Founded in 2016 as an ETH Zurich spin-off, ANYbotics was co-created by Hanspeter Fässler, who brings extensive experience in business leadership and engineering. Fässler, the chairman of ANYbotics, previously served as CEO of Implenia and held a senior position at ABB. With this robust foundation, ANYbotics has scaled significantly, growing from its original team of six to over 55 members and winning awards such as the Swiss Economic Forum Award. In 2020, ANYbotics completed a successful CHF 20 million Series A funding round, led by Swisscom Ventures, positioning itself as a prominent player in the global robotics field and a competitive rival to companies like Boston Dynamics
