ANYbotics (Spain Hub)

ANYbotics is a Swiss-based robotics company that specializes in the development of autonomous, legged mobile robots designed for inspection and maintenance in heavy industrial environments. Founded in 2016 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, the company has established itself as a leader in robotic locomotion, enabling machines to navigate complex, hazardous, and inaccessible terrain that traditional wheeled robots cannot traverse. Their flagship product, ANYmal, is widely utilized in sectors such as oil and gas, energy, and manufacturing to automate routine inspections and enhance operational safety. In June 2026, the company significantly expanded its global footprint by opening a dedicated engineering and AI hub in Barcelona, Spain, located at the DFactory Barcelona industrial campus. This expansion serves as a strategic center for advancing the company's capabilities in computer vision, machine learning, and full-stack software development. With a growing international presence that includes hubs in Zurich, San Francisco, and Barcelona, ANYbotics continues to scale its operations to meet the increasing global demand for autonomous industrial solutions.

ANYbotics’ mission is to revolutionize industrial operations by providing advanced, autonomous, legged robotics solutions that navigate complex, hazardous, or inaccessible environments to automate inspection, increase safety, and improve efficiency in asset-intensive industries.
