ANYmal D Max

ANYmal D Max is a quadruped inspection robot developed by ANYbotics AG (founded 2016, ETH Zurich spin-out, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland). It is designed for autonomous industrial inspection across oil & gas, mining, chemicals, power, and other heavy industries, featuring LiDAR SLAM navigation, thermal/visual/acoustic/gas sensors, IP67 rating, stair climbing, fall recovery, and self-docking. The robot performs fully autonomous inspection missions — following predefined routes, reading gauges, detecting anomalies, and reporting via the Data Navigator platform — without a human performing the inspection task itself; teleoperation is available as a supplementary mode but is not the primary operational mode. With 200+ units delivered, 33,000+ documented inspections at a single cement plant, and continuous 365-day deployment at utility substations, independent evidence strongly corroborates the autonomous inspection claim, though initial site mapping is required before deployment.
