Against the field
Each strip holds every robot of this type in the guide that states the figure, one bar per group of values. Further right means a larger figure, not a better robot.
Height
50cm19.7inOur conversion from 500 mm. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.
89 quadrupeds state a height
54 state a higher figure, 26 a lower one. 4 more state exactly the same figure.
Weight
less than 30kgless than 66.1lbOur conversion from 30 kg. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.
124 quadrupeds state a weight
ANYmal B states an upper limit, not one figure, so it is shown open-ended and not ranked against the others. Log scale: each step along the axis multiplies the value.
Degrees of freedom
12DoF
76 quadrupeds state degrees of freedom
15 state a higher figure, 4 a lower one. 56 more state exactly the same figure.
Runtime
more than 120minNote: load condition not stated
104 quadrupeds state a runtime
ANYmal B states a lower limit, not one figure, so it is shown open-ended and not ranked against the others.
Notes
A research-generation quadruped from ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, commercialized by ANYbotics; the version described in Hutter et al.'s 2016/2017 papers, predating the commercial ANYmal C.
Torque-controlled series-elastic actuators (ANYdrive) at three joints per leg, sealed to IP67 for oil-and-gas industrial inspection.
