1 -The ANYmal Robot is a highly versatile quadrupedal robot designed for navigating and performing tasks in challenging environments. Developed by the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, ANYmal combines advanced locomotion capabilities with a modular design that allows it to be equipped with various sensors and tools. It can dynamically run, climb, and even perform parkour-like movements, making it ideal for operations in rough terrains such as industrial sites, mines, and disaster zones. ANYmal’s body is lightweight yet robust, being water- and dust-proof (IP67 rated), and it can withstand falls from up to 0.5 meters. Equipped with LIDAR, stereo, and wide-angle cameras, it has comprehensive environmental perception capabilities, allowing it to navigate autonomously. The robot operates for 2-4 hours on a single charge and can autonomously dock for recharging. The hardware architecture is highly extendable, accommodating additional payloads such as robotic arms or specific sensors [[ANYbotics>>url:https://www.anybotics.com/news/advancing-legged-robotics-research/]] [[ScienceDaily>>url:https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240313185058.htm]] [[Research Features>>url:https://researchfeatures.com/anymal-unique-quadruped-robot-conquering-harsh-environments/]]).

10 -ANYmal’s modular design allows it to be equipped with a robotic arm for manipulation tasks, such as opening doors or moving debris, with a payload capacity of up to 7 kg. In search and rescue (SAR) scenarios, ANYmal can autonomously explore, map, and interact with the environment to support human responders, offering real-time data through a wireless network. Additionally, it can be teleoperated using a 6DoF joystick, with data visualized on a 3D screen, making it a versatile tool in dynamic SAR operations
