ANYbotics Unleashes Four-Legged AI Robot for Oil and Gas Inspections

Swiss firm ANYbotics has started delivering its ANYmal X autonomous inspection robot, designed to operate in hazardous and potentially explosive environments, to oil, gas and chemical industry customers, including Equinor and DSM-Firmenich.

The robot uses artificial intelligence (AI) and integrated sensors to conduct routine inspections of industrial equipment, reducing the need for personnel to enter hazardous areas while helping operators identify potential equipment failures.

ANYbotics describes ANYmal X as the world's first legged inspection robot designed for explosive atmospheres, developed over four years and supported by more than ten patents.

Since 2023, companies including BP, Equinor, Shell, Petronas, Petrobras, BASF and SLB have tested the technology across hundreds of onshore and offshore missions through ANYbotics' Early Access Program.
