"We've seen a huge, huge uptick in interest from data centers in the last year, I'd say, which is probably not surprising given the investment in that space. Data center customers, in particular, look for industrial inspection, site mapping, and construction monitoring capabilities beyond perimeter patrol."
"North America alone is looking at 35 gigawatts of data-center capacity under construction. Those centers can span dozens of acres and need to operate 24/7. Robotics companies see an opportunity to deploy their quadrupeds to protect valuable infrastructure that requires round-the-clock surveillance."
As companies invest billions in sprawling data center campuses for cloud and AI computing, robot dogs from Boston Dynamics and Ghost Robotics are emerging as security solutions. These four-legged autonomous bots patrol perimeters, inspect equipment, and identify potential issues before they cause costly outages. North America has 35 gigawatts of data-center capacity under construction, with facilities spanning dozens of acres requiring continuous operation. Data center operators are attracted to mobile robots that provide round-the-clock surveillance without fatigue or salary costs. Boston Dynamics reports significant increased interest from data centers over the past year, with customers seeking robots capable of industrial inspection, site mapping, and construction monitoring beyond basic perimeter patrol.
