Boost Robotics

Robots for the inspection and maintenance of data centers

Y CombinatorSpring 2025ActiveIndustrialsManufacturing and RoboticsArtificial IntelligenceHard TechHardwareRobotics

What they do

Problem

Data centers are scaling faster than operations teams can manage, causing staffing shortages and slower inspection, maintenance, and failure response that lead to costly outages and SLA/insurance penalties.

Solution

Autonomous mobile manipulation robots that remotely perform manual inspection and maintenance tasks in data centers to detect and triage issues faster.

Who it's for

Data center operators and enterprise data center owners managing large-scale facilities.

Founders

Hardik Singh
Founder

Co-Founder @ Boost Robotics. MS in Robotic Systems Development @ CMU Robotics Institute. Commencement speaker at CMU SCS Masters Ceremony. I've worked on nearly every robot you can think of: autonomous drones, rovers, tractors, hexapods, quadrupeds, and robot arms - both cobot and industrial. Robots are hard. Building a talented team greater than the sum of its parts is the only way to do it.
