Data centers are turning to $200,000 robot dogs to guard the facilities

Data centers are increasingly deploying four‑legged robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Ghost Robotics’ Vision 60 to handle security and environmental monitoring. These $175,000–$300,000 robots patrol server halls and perimeters, detecting heat anomalies, leaks, and potential security threats while operating in harsh conditions without fatigue. With AI data centers expanding rapidly, operators see robotic patrols as a cost‑effective way to extend human oversight across massive facilities. Although robots enhance coverage and reliability, humans still make final decisions based on the data they collect.
