Climate Investment (CI) Joins Investment in ANYbotics to Transform Oil & Gas Inspection Through Autonomous Robotics

London, UK – Climate Investment (CI) announced today its strategic investment in ANYbotics, a global leader in autonomous robotic inspection solutions. This investment follows ANYbotics’ recent funding round, bringing the company’s total funding to over $150 million.

ANYbotics’ mobile robotics technology is redefining industrial operations by enhancing asset performance, safety, and emissions reduction. ANYmal provides early warnings of asset degradation and potential failures by autonomously identifying issues like equipment overheating, abnormal vibrations, and fugitive gas emissions, often in areas that are hazardous or remote for human inspectors. Its AI-powered software stack enables fully autonomous navigation, collision avoidance, and stair climbing, making it deployable in complex and remote industrial sites. With over 200 units of its first product ANYmal shipped, the fleet performs thousands of inspections weekly across the oil and gas, mining, power, utilities, and metals industries.

The company is now gearing up to start customer deliveries of ANYmal X, the world’s first Ex-certified legged robot, purpose-built for hazardous and explosive environments. With CI’s investment and deployment support, ANYmal X will be brought to market in 2026 to enable safe, continuous inspection in explosive zones, directly addressing critical operational challenges.

“ANYbotics’ technology has the potential to significantly enhance industrial inspection” said Felicity O’Kelly, Investment Director at CI. “By bringing cutting-edge robotics technology into the industrial sector, ANYmal is helping operators meet emissions goals while improving operational resilience, particularly in the oil and gas sector where safety is paramount. This investment aligns perfectly with CI’s mission to accelerate decarbonization in hard-to-abate sectors.”

ANYbotics is already deployed with multiple CI Limited Partners including Equinor, ENI, and Petrobras, as well as additional customers and partners SLB, Siemens Energy, Siemens AG, GE Vernova, Novelis, Outokumpu, AWS, SAP, Yokogawa, and NVIDIA.

One notable deployment is at the Northern Lights Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facility in Norway, a joint venture between Equinor, TotalEnergies, and Shell. Working autonomously at the normally uncrewed facility, the ANYmal robot is monitoring CO2 concentration levels in addition to performing frequent inspections. The robot is able to provide automatic analysis and anomaly reporting to operators, dramatically improving safety, uptime, and asset integrity.

“We are thrilled to welcome CI to our investor group,” said Dr. Péter Fankhauser, Co-Founder and CEO of ANYbotics. “CI’s deep sector expertise and strong network of industrial partners will be invaluable as we scale our operations and continue to deliver autonomous robotics inspection solutions to customers worldwide.”

With this investment, CI joins a distinguished group of investors including Aramco Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, NGP Capital, Qualcomm Ventures, Supernova Invest, Swisscom Ventures, TDK Ventures, and Walden Catalyst Ventures. The investment will support ANYbotics’ continued global expansion and help to bring the new ANYmal X model to market, highlighting CI’s commitment to supporting decarbonization technologies in complex industrial environments.
