The company launched its first ANATROLLER robot in 2003, the ANATROLLER ARI-100. Later, in 2010 the Kel'air duct cleaning company, a French company based in Bordeaux, acquired one of these, the first in the European market. [2] The ANATROLLER ARI-100 is an industrial robot used primarily for duct cleaning. [3] [4]

In 2010, the company's [5] ANAT technology was recognized as a nominee for the 2010 Manning Innovation Awards. [6]

The company's first portable Anatergoarm model, the TMA-500, was deployed in 2010 at Hydro Quebec's Robert-Bourassa generating station for breaking unit repairs. [7] It won the IRSST's 2011 "Work health and safety innovation" award at the 21st edition of the innovation awards organized by ADRIQ and its partners. [8]

The Anatergoarm AEA-15 a manual arm designed in collaboration with Michel Dallaire Design Industrielle, [9] won the gold medal at the 31st international Geneva Exhibition in 2015 [10] and a finalist in IDM. [11]
