ANYmal can not only open doors and handle packages, but also monitor nuclear waste. That’s right, this quadruped robot was recently deployed to Finland’s Onkalo site located at a depth of more than 400 meters underground.
It managed to navigate a network of over 100 deposition tunnels that can be accessed via a spiral-shaped 5 km long main tunnel. ANYmal showd that i it was able to efficiently perform essential and repetitive tasks autonomously, thus allowing operators to collect as well as manage inspection / monitoring data.
