Robot Dogs Guard Data Centers, Promising Fast Returns

Robot dogs from Boston Dynamics and Ghost Robotics are being tested in data centers to patrol perimeters, inspect equipment, and detect issues, with operators citing payback in roughly 18 to 24 months as AI-driven data-center construction surges; unit prices range from about $165k to $300k, and the robots are designed to supplement human guards with 24/7 mobility and resilience against weather and fatigue.
