"I was literally at a data center this week. 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. Spot is commonly being deployed to patrol perimeters, according to Frayne. Customers are also using them for site mapping, monitoring construction, and industrial inspection."
"With the right equipment, the robot dogs can detect leaks, unusual sounds, or thermal anomalies. Michael Subhan, chief growth officer of military contractor Ghost Robotics, also told BI that its Vision 60 robot dogs are being deployed for perimeter security or investigating suspicious packages. We're not there to replace the human guard. We sort of augment the guard."
"There are 5,000 data centers in the US alone, 800 to a thousand new data centers being built currently. So we see that as a large market for us. It may sound like a straightforward task, but keeping tabs on centers that can cover over an area of over 900 football fields likely isn't simple."
AI companies investing heavily in data center infrastructure are increasingly adopting robot security guards to maintain 24/7 surveillance without human labor expenses. Boston Dynamics' quadruped robot Spot leads this trend, with significant uptick in data center interest over the past year. These robots patrol perimeters of facilities spanning over 900 football fields, perform site mapping, monitor construction, and conduct industrial inspections. Equipped with specialized sensors, they detect leaks, unusual sounds, and thermal anomalies. Competitors like Ghost Robotics' Vision 60 also deploy robots for perimeter security and suspicious package investigation. Industry leaders emphasize robots augment rather than replace human guards, with thousands of data centers across the US and hundreds under construction creating substantial market opportunity.
