ANYbotics has partnered with dormakaba and LEGIC Identsystems to enhance its ANYmal robots, enabling them to automatically open doors and authenticate at restricted areas. This innovation addresses the challenge of accessing equipment in large industrial facilities, such as energy and mining sectors, without requiring structural changes.
The integration of door automation and secure authentication is crucial for expanding the autonomous inspection capabilities of ANYmal robots while maintaining existing access controls. The system utilizes radar sensors and retrofitted door operators to facilitate seamless movement through various environments, including fire-rated doors.
Looking ahead, the collaboration aims to further integrate autonomous robots into industrial security frameworks, enhancing operational efficiency. The technology also includes a tele-assist feature, allowing remote operators to intervene when necessary. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
