Zurich-based ANYbotics has raised an additional $20M from Climate Investment (CI), pushing its total funding to over $150M.
The strategic investment will accelerate the rollout of ANYmal X, the world’s first Ex-certified legged robot for hazardous and explosive environments, set to launch in 2026.
Robotics for high-risk industrial sites
ANYbotics develops ANYmal, an autonomous robotic inspector used across oil & gas, mining, utilities, and metals. The four-legged robot can navigate complex terrains, climb stairs, and detect equipment failures, gas leaks, or overheating—all without putting human workers at risk.
With more than 200 robots shipped, ANYmal already performs thousands of inspections weekly worldwide. The upcoming ANYmal X is designed to operate safely in explosive zones, addressing one of the toughest challenges in industrial inspection.”

Backing from global energy players
CI is backed by the Oil & Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI), whose members include Aramco, bp, Chevron, Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies. ANYbotics robots are already deployed with several of these energy giants, including Equinor, Eni, and Petrobras.
Dr. Péter Fankhauser, Co-Founder & CEO of ANYbotics, said:
“CI’s deep sector expertise and strong network of industrial partners will be invaluable as we scale operations and deliver autonomous inspection solutions to customers worldwide.”
Scaling toward industrial adoption
The new capital builds on ANYbotics’ late-2024 financing round that brought funding to $130M. With CI’s addition, the company is strengthening its path to global deployment in high-risk, energy-intensive industries where safety, uptime, and emissions monitoring are critical.
