Overview
ANYbotics Actuator refers to the ANYdrive series elastic actuator (SEA) module developed by ANYbotics, a Swiss legged robotics company spun out of ETH Zurich in 2016. The ANYdrive is a compact, tightly integrated, and sealed robot joint actuator containing a brushless motor, backlash-free gear, and custom control electronics, used in ANYbotics' ANYmal quadruped robot and the ANYexo upper-limb exoskeleton. It is commercially available as a modular robotic joint for research and industrial applications.
