The Market & Our Technology
ANYbotics is transforming industrial inspection with ANYmal, the world’s most advanced autonomous four-legged robot. Our technology is deployed globally across energy, chemicals, and mining sectors to increase safety and efficiency. To support these deployments, we build a sophisticated cloud and edge-based infrastructure. Our backend stack is centered around Node.js and TypeScript, utilizing NestJS, PostgreSQL, and MQTT to handle real-time robot telemetry and complex data orchestration. We move fast, prioritize clean architecture, and solve problems that exist at the intersection of the physical and digital worlds.
