Profile notes

• ANYmal is sold as an inspection system with remote escalation, not an unsupervised general worker

  reviewed 2026-07-20 - ANYmal traverses industrial sites, collects sensor data and integrates with inspection workflows, while difficult events can be reviewed or handled remotely. Deployments validate autonomous mobility in hazardous facilities, but its job is structured inspection rather than general maintenance or manipulation.
