Swiss robotics company Anybotics has raised an extra $60 million to close its Series B round off at $110 million, some 18 months after first announcing it had raised a $50 million Series B.
Spun out from the Eth Zurich research university in 2016, Anybotics has built a quadruped autonomous inspection robot dubbed Anymal, replete with sensors and cameras for monitoring equipment in industrial settings. This could be anything from tracking thermal anomalies as part of a preventative maintenance regimen to detecting the presence of combustible gas.
“Anybotics addresses the challenge of performing routine inspections in complex and hazardous industrial environments,” the company’s co-founder and CEO, Dr. Péter Fankhauser (pictured above on the right, with CFO Fredrik Isler) told TechCrunch. “By automating these tasks, we minimize human exposure to dangerous or hard-to-reach areas, reduce downtime through more frequent inspections and higher coverage, and streamline maintenance processes, leading to higher productivity and operational reliability.”
