Anydrive actuators, developed by ETH Zurich's Robotic Systems Lab, are ''ANYdrive''' is a high-performanceactuator developed by ANYbotics, series elastic actuators designed for a Swiss robotics. They offer precise torque, position, and impedance control, making them suitable for company specializing in mobile legged robots like ANYmal. These actuators integrate motors, custom springs, high-precision encoders, and power electronics in a compact, water-resistant design. Anydrive's modular nature simplifies assembly and maintenance, and they communicate over CAN and CANopen protocols with ROS compatibility.<refname="ANYbotics ANYdrive ">https://rslwww.ethzanybotics.chcom/robots-mediaanydrive/actuators/anydrive.html</ref><ref>https://rsl.ethz.ch/robots-media/ANYdrive actuatorsare designed for robust and versatile robotic applications, particularly in challenging environments.html</ref><ref>https://researchfeatures.com/anymal-unique-quadruped-robot-conquering-harsh-environments/</ref>
