Welcome, Anigon!

Anigon is an industrial wheeled humanoid developed by Aimbo Robotics in Altendorf, Switzerland, for logistics, manufacturing, and warehouse environments. Standing 189 cm tall and weighing 120 kg, it combines a mobile base with two force controlled arms, each offering seven degrees of freedom. Its overall configuration has 28 degrees of freedom and two hands with five fingers each. Listed specifications include a maximum speed of 5.4 km/h and a strength rating of 10 kg. Tactile sensing, joint torque sensors, and RGB depth cameras support interaction with objects and surrounding spaces. Hot swappable batteries allow battery replacement without relying solely on stationary charging periods. Safety provisions include compliant force control, sensitive collision detection, electromagnetic brakes, and separation between artificial intelligence and safety critical control. Its Humanoid Guide Skill Score is 3 out of 10, placing it in the developing category, with Navigation rated 1 out of 5 and Manipulation rated 2 out of 5. Supported capabilities include obstacle avoidance, sorting goods, and assembling products.

Anigon’s physical capabilities center on obstacle avoidance, sorting goods, and assembling products. Its wheeled configuration provides mobility for industrial settings, while the arms and hands provide the manipulation hardware for handling goods and components. Force control and tactile sensing are relevant to managing contact during sorting and assembly, where object interaction matters as much as positioning. RGB depth cameras supply visual and depth information, complementing the robot’s tactile feedback. For warehouse use, sorting goods is a directly relevant application; for manufacturing, assembling products is the corresponding supported task. These capabilities should be understood alongside its developing overall score: the manipulation rating is higher than the navigation rating, but both remain below the top tiers of their respective scales.

Anigon is listed as a prototype, with an advertised price of USD 80,000 and an inquiry option for prospective buyers. Its enterprise orientation extends beyond physical hardware to integration with existing operational software. Aimbo Robotics lists connectivity with ERP, MES, and WMS systems, including demonstrated integration with SAP EWM and SAP S/4HANA. The robot uses Aimbo Platform deployment middleware and an integrated edge computing controller. Its AI architecture includes vision, language, tactile, and action modeling, a manipulation foundation model, and a world model, with local multimodal inference. Its broader significance lies in combining industrial manipulation hardware with enterprise software connectivity, while its prototype status and developing skill score distinguish it from a mature deployment platform.
