World’s First Autonomous Offshore Robot - ANYmal

In September 2018, the ANYbotics field team boarded a helicopter to fly out to one of the world’s largest offshore converter platforms in the North Sea. Equipped with a customized sensor head, our four-legged robotic platform ANYmal autonomously performed various inspection tasks of the platform in a one-week pilot installation, making it the world’s first autonomous offshore robot.

A crucial task for energy providers is the reliable and safe operation of their plants, especially when producing energy offshore. Autonomous mobile robots are able to offer comprehensive support through regular and automated inspection of machinery and infrastructure. In a world’s first pilot installation, transmission system operator TenneT tested the autonomous legged robot ANYmal on one of Europe’s largest offshore converter platforms in the North Sea.
In a one week pilot installation, ANYmal autonomously performed various inspection tasks. After being taken on a guided tour of the platform to 3D-map the environment and learn the position and characteristics of all inspection points, ANYmal autonomously navigated the platform and processed inspection protocols. This video documents a fully autonomous mission, covering a total of 16 inspection points such as gauges, levers, oil- and water levels and various other visual and thermal measurements.
About ANYbotics:
ANYbotics was founded in 2016 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) with the goal to develop the market for highly mobile legged robots operating in challenging environments. With its products ANYmal and ANYdrive, the company provides solutions for a new level of mobility and interaction capabilities for robots to step out of the factory floors.
The ANYmal legged robot is available for sale and rent to customers interested in developing applications with autonomous mobile robots and to robotics research organizations. For industrial end-users interested in evaluating the potential of ANYmal, ANYbotics provides proofs-of-concept and pilot installations worldwide.

Looking good! Those are the kinds of videos that really make me happy:)

[@ChristianSchindelhauer]

Keep the doors and cabinets open for inspection. The little inspector cannot open them (unlike a trained velociraptor - my recommendation).

[@Giveanothertry]

The is is part of revolution with simultaion of various standardised protocols. This is really great.

[@AzoreanProud]

European robotic scene is looking great.

[@GiadaC.Laverde]

Can I just say IT'S SOO CUTE??❤😂

[@tingyuwang1307]

looking so cool!

[@robrdavis]

I'm curious as to why a quadruped design was used as opposed to a wheel or tread design. Balance on rolling seas would become far less of an issue, as would turning radius in tight quarters. I understand that stairs are present in the patrol path, but those could easily be traversed with treads.

[@sixclaws]

Can you equip it with a taser?

[@user-vt9iw1nh4d]

Looks good! What about safety?All fire doors must be shut!

You can see the two people following the robot on the lower right

This robot's IQ is better than the body.

They took er' jerrrbsss!!

Aw... I expected a rocket landing right at this guy's position.

I would like to see ANYmal playing with SpotMini.

is it a remote-controlled Toy or a Robot ???

[@atakama2380]

why do you walk at places where you can wheel ???

Good dog but poor music.

How is the offshore?😂wil it swim if it jumps in water

lol kkkkkkkkkk

Taking a humans job

[@semenerohin4048]

Walking around facroty and looking at sensors is a job that humans tottaly need to spend time to.
