Sep 2025Undisclosed stageClimate Investment (lead)$20MANYbotics, a Zurich-based provider of autonomous legged robotic inspection solutions like the ANYmal series, received a strategic investment from Climate Investment (CI) in September 2025, following a recent funding round and bringing total funding to over $150 million. The investment supports global expansion and commercialization of ANYmal X, an Ex-certified robot for explosive zones, with planned 2026 deliveries. CI, founded in 2017 by Oil & Gas Climate Initiative members, focuses on industrial decarbonization and joins investors including Aramco Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, NGP Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Supernova Invest, Swisscom Ventures, TDK Ventures, and Walden Catalyst Ventures. ANYbotics' robots enable autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, stair climbing, and inspections in hazardous environments across oil and gas, mining, power, utilities, and metals sectors. Deployments include operators like Equinor, ENI, Petrobras, BP, and sites such as Norway’s Northern Lights CCS project, where robots monitor CO₂ levels, provide anomaly reports, and enhance safety, uptime, asset integrity, and emissions reduction. Over 200 ANYmal units have been shipped, performing thousands of inspections weekly, with partners like SLB, Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, AWS, SAP, NVIDIA, and Yokogawa. The investment aligns with CI’s mandate to deploy decarbonization technologies via its industrial LP network, targeting hard-to-abate industries. ANYbotics' technology detects gas leaks, thermal anomalies, and equipment failures, reducing downtime and protecting workers. CI's portfolio has delivered 133 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent reductions from 2019-2024 across over 40 climate tech companies.
Dec 2024Series BQualcomm Ventures (lead); Supernova Invest (lead); EquityPitcher Ventures; Swisscom Ventures; TDK Ventures; Bessemer Venture Partners; NGP Capital; Swisscanto Private Equity; Walden Catalyst$60MANYbotics is a Swiss-based company spun out from ETH Zurich in 2016 that develops AI-powered autonomous inspection robots for industrial applications. The company's flagship product, ANYmal, is a quadruped robot equipped with sensors and cameras for monitoring equipment in hazardous and remote industrial environments, with capabilities including thermal anomaly detection, fugitive gas emission identification, and autonomous navigation including stair climbing. The robot addresses critical operational needs in oil and gas, mining, power, utilities, metals, and chemical industries. On December 12, 2024, ANYbotics closed an additional $60 million funding round as an extension of its Series B, bringing the total Series B to $110 million and total company funding to over $130 million (approximately $150 million according to one source). The round was led by Qualcomm Ventures and Supernova Invest, with participation from TDK Ventures and other new investors, alongside existing backers including Walden Catalyst, NGP Capital, Bessemer Venture Partners, Swisscanto, and Swisscom Ventures. The company has achieved significant traction with over 200 units of ANYmal deployed across major customers including BP, Equinor, Petrobras, Novelis, Outokumpy, Iamgold, Stelco, and Stanford University, performing thousands of inspections weekly. The company reported approximately $4 million in annual revenue as of the funding announcement. ANYbotics is leveraging partnerships with AWS, NVIDIA, SAP, SLB, Equans, and Siemens Energy to enhance its AI-driven capabilities and global reach. The funding supports global scaling and U.S. expansion following the opening of a Silicon Valley office. ANYbotics is preparing customer deliveries of ANYmal X, the world's first Ex-certified legged robot for hazardous and explosive environments, launching in 2026. The company deliberately structured this as a Series B extension rather than Series C, with future Series C funding targeted at portfolio expansion into new applications and industries, indicating a strategic approach to capital deployment focused initially on core business scaling.
May 2023Series BNGP Capital (lead); Walden Catalyst (lead); EquityPitcher Ventures; Swisscom Ventures; Bessemer Venture Partners; Verve Ventures; Swisscanto Private Equity; ACE & Company; Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures; Aramco Ventures$50MANYbotics, a Swiss robotics company founded in 2016 as a spin-off from ETH Zurich, develops autonomous legged robots like ANYmal for industrial inspection in harsh environments such as energy, power, metals, mining, and chemicals sectors. The company's four-legged robots perform tasks to enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability by replacing dangerous and repetitive human work with AI-powered automation. Key customers include industry leaders like PETRONAS, Shell, SLB, Outokumpu, Siemens Energy, BASF, Vale, BP, Equinor, Petrobras, and Novelis. On May 16, 2023, ANYbotics closed a $50 million (or €46 million) Series B funding round led by NGP Capital and Walden Catalyst, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Aramco Ventures, Swisscom Ventures, Swisscanto Private Equity, ACE & Company, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures, EquityPitcher Ventures, Verve Ventures, and other existing investors. The funding aims to scale international deployments, particularly sales, delivery, and after-sales services, fuel development of new capabilities for the ANYmal platform including enhanced sensors for visual, acoustic, gas, and thermal monitoring, and solidify its competitive position in robotic inspection. The company reported $150 million in preorders and reservations from gas/oil and chemical companies at the time, indicating strong market traction and early commercial success in key verticals, though this metric does not qualify as revenue or ARR. ANYbotics leverages close ties to robotics research from ETH Zurich, University of Oxford, and NVIDIA for cutting-edge AI and reinforcement learning technologies. Investors highlighted the company's robust mobility platform, locomotion software, and potential to expand use cases beyond inspection.
Dec 2020Series ASwisscom Ventures (lead); EquityPitcher Ventures; ACE & Company$23MANYbotics AG, a Zurich-based developer of autonomous four-legged robots for industrial inspection, closed a CHF 20 million (approximately USD 22 million) Series A funding round in 2020 led by Swisscom Ventures, with participation from Ace & Company, EquityPitcher Ventures, and others. The funding aimed to accelerate commercialization and large-scale deployment of its ANYmal robots for applications in hazardous environments, building on technology from ETH Zurich. The company had already demonstrated traction with blue-chip customers in high-value use cases. Swisscom Ventures highlighted ANYbotics' cutting-edge technology and market potential as a rival to companies like Boston Dynamics. Sources confirm Swisscom Ventures' first investment in ANYbotics on December 3, 2020, though some references list varying smaller amounts like $3M, likely approximations or partial tranches; the official announcement specifies CHF 20M total for the round. Subsequent rounds include a $50M Series B in May 2023 (with valuation estimated at $80-130M), a $60M Series B-II or C in December 2024, and additional $20M in 2025, bringing total funding over $150M. ANYbotics serves clients like PETRONAS, Shell, and Siemens Energy with inspection solutions for oil & gas, chemicals, and energy sectors.
