Autonomous data center robotics

Autonomous robots for data center deployment, commissioning, and maintenance.

We automate the manual work of deploying, commissioning, and operating data centers — driving down the cost of compute.

Starting with the repetitive, physically demanding tasks that fill a technician's day.

The problem

Demand for compute is outpacing the people who build and run data centers.

New sites are going remote. Power, land, and permitting push new sites far from skilled technicians — often next to power plants, water, or harsh environments where staffing is hard.

People carry hidden costs. Halls are cooled to 65–70°F for staff comfort; ASHRAE allows ~90°F. Each 1°F of headroom cuts cooling energy by 4–5%.

Deployment hurts most. Three technicians, two days, one rack. Every month a hall sits unfinished is capacity that isn't earning revenue.

“Lowering the cost of compute is no longer just a competitive advantage. It is becoming a national priority.”

The solution

Robots that do the technician's job, so data centers can run lights-out.

Dash builds autonomous, wheeled robots with a precision arm that inspect, diagnose, and fix hardware in data center aisles. The barrier to "lights-out" isn't software — it's the physical tasks that still need a person on the floor. Our robots remove that requirement.

How it works

  1. 01

    Detect

    Monitoring flags an anomaly; our robots see what software can't — LED states, loose cables, hot spots.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    Depth cameras and vision-language-model perception localize the exact rack, chassis, bay, or port.

  3. 03

    Fix

    The arm performs the task: a drive hot swap, a cable reseat, or a hard reboot.

  4. 04

    Verify and close

    It confirms the LEDs turned green, logs serials and results, and closes the ticket.

What our robots automate

The repetitive, physical work that takes up most of a technician's day.

Rack and stack

The most expensive, labor-intensive step in a facility's lifecycle.

  • Server mounting
  • Rail install
  • Commissioning

Recabling

Route, connect, and reseat cables to your cable map.

  • Fiber and copper
  • Cable routing
  • Port reseating

Hot swaps

Replace failed drives, RAM, SSDs, and full nodes.

  • Drives and SSDs
  • RAM
  • Full nodes

Diagnostics

Detect faults, find the root cause, and dispatch a robot to fix them.

  • LED verification
  • Thermal and acoustic scans
  • Hard reboots

On the roadmap

Liquid-cooling servicing (quick-disconnect couplings, leak inspection)

Decommissioning (un-racking retired hardware and reclaiming high-value parts)

Built to fit your workflow

Integrates with your ticketing and monitoring

Jira, ServiceNow, DCIM, Prometheus.

Follows your SOPs

ESD-safe handling, serial logging, RMA tagging.

Flexible engagement

Pilot a single hall with a subscription — no upfront capital expense.
