Everything Dr. Peter Fankhauser said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Fankhauser: ANYbotics does not build and has no plans to build military products
“Today we're not doing it, not intend to do it, right?”
Fankhauser: Videos of weaponized quadruped robots are early demonstrations, not active deployments
“I think these are all very early tests. If I look at those videos, these are demonstrations. I've not seen these types of robot active drones.”
Fankhauser: ANYbotics signed an open letter with Boston Dynamics opposing robot weaponization
“Four years ago, we wrote a letter together with our friends at Boston Dynamics and others, right, who condemned the weaponization Of robots for exactly that reason, that as engineers, we don't want to see it being used, and we think it's just dangerous and ris…”
Fankhauser: ANYbotics sources zero percent of its hardware from China
“Zero.”
Fankhauser: Chinese robots offer impressive hardware but lack complete solutions
“If you look at the robot from China today, that device is a piece of hardware that can walk. Beautifully, great engineering. Love it. Do backflips. But they're not solving the problem. Our customers don't compare a platform to the full solution that we have.”
Fankhauser: Four-legged robots are the ideal format for industrial facilities
“In the facilities that we work, four leg stability, there's enough space to go around. It's the perfect format.”
Fankhauser: Industrial robotics customers want data and insights, not robots
“They don't care about the robot. Actually, they don't even want the robot. They want the data. They want the insights. The robot is a means to an end to collect the data precisely.”
Fankhauser: ANYbotics built a spark-proof robot certified for explosive environments
“Most importantly, we have a robot now that goes into explosive atmospheres, which is, you know, in oil and gas and chemicals, methane in the air, you're not allowed to, you know, create a spark. So we built a special robot that's guaranteed not to create a spa…”
Fankhauser: Commercial inspection robotics autonomy cannot be easily repurposed for military use
“No, autonomy is very different, right? So for example, we do autonomy, you have time to set up a robot, and it does inspections, all of that. In military, it's about millisecond being in, right? Remote controlled human in the loop, different communications, di…”
ANYbotics CEO confirms company has hundreds of robots deployed
“Hundreds, yeah.”
Fankhauser: Stopped industrial assets lose hundreds of thousands in revenue hourly
“These assets, if they stop, they lose revenues in hundreds of thousands per hour.”
Fankhauser: Some ANYbotics customers run robot inspection missions 40 times daily
“Some of our customers run these missions 40 times a day.”
