B U L L E V A R D ANYmal: it won’t chew the sofa, poo on the carpet, or try to hump your leg… unless you program it to Robotic courier POSTMAN’S BEST FRIEND The future of home delivery is going to the dogs B efore too long, dogs may be in charge of more than just bringing you the morning newspaper. In partnership with automotive firm Continental, robotics start-up ANYbotics has conjured up another view of the future: one where packages are delivered by mechanical canine courier. ANYmal is a multipurpose robot with the ability to sense its surroundings and carry heavy weights while traversing complex terrain. “It’s a delivery robot the size of an average dog,” says Péter Fankhauser, co-founder of the Zürich-based start-up. “Standing 70cm tall and 80cm long, it has a camera in its head, flexible joints, and is able to jump and move autonomously in an unfamiliar environment.” ANYmal is not the only canineinspired automaton around: Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini, unveiled in 2016, was demoed opening doors. When the robopocalypse comes, it’s likely to enter the room on all fours. In the meantime, we’re still convinced they’ll serve us. Visitors to electronics trade show CES in Las Vegas in January saw ANYmal step off a delivery truck with a parcel, walk up to a front door in a mocked-up suburban garden, ring the doorbell, then leave the package on the porch. While the reality of these delivery dogs may be a while away yet, in the shorter term ANYbotics is planning to use them to carry out industrial inspections or safety work in conditions that would be too hazardous for humans.

POSTMAN’S<br />
BEST FRIEND<br />
<strong>The</strong> future of home delivery<br />
is going to the dogs<br />
B efore too long, dogs<br />
may be in charge of more than<br />
just bringing you the morning<br />
newspaper. In partnership with<br />
automotive firm Continental,<br />
robotics start-up ANYbotics<br />
has conjured up another view<br />
of the future: one where<br />
packages are delivered by<br />
mechanical canine courier.<br />
ANYmal is a multipurpose<br />
robot with the ability to sense<br />
its surroundings and carry<br />
heavy weights while traversing<br />
complex terrain. “It’s a delivery<br />
robot the size of an average<br />
dog,” says Péter Fankhauser,<br />
co-founder of the Zürich-based<br />
start-up. “Standing 70cm<br />
tall and 80cm long, it has a<br />
camera in its head, flexible<br />
joints, and is able to jump and<br />
move autonomously in an<br />
unfamiliar environment.”<br />
ANYmal is not the only canineinspired<br />
automaton around:<br />
Boston Dynamics’ SpotMini,<br />
unveiled in 2016, was demoed<br />
opening doors. When the<br />
robopocalypse comes, it’s likely<br />
to enter the room on all fours.<br />
In the meantime, we’re<br />
still convinced they’ll serve us.<br />

mocked-up suburban garden,<br />
