Case Study: Equinor advances autonomous inspection at K-Lab with ANYbotics ANYmal X

Equinor completes 5-week Ex-zone robot testing with ANYbotics

Equinor, an international energy company and leading operator on the Norwegian continental shelf, collaborated with ANYbotics to test the ANYmal X robot. Their challenge was to implement new digital solutions for inspecting equipment in hazardous, explosive (Ex-proof) zones at a gas processing plant, aiming to remove humans from dangerous areas and integrate inspection data with their software platforms.

ANYbotics implemented its ANYmal X robotic inspection solution, which autonomously performed over 30 inspection missions in adverse weather. The robot successfully mapped the facility, traversed obstacles and stairs, and integrated data with Equinor's platform via an API. The five-week test demonstrated high repeatability and operational autonomy, showing the solution's potential to reduce human involvement in dangerous night work and work at height.
