Overview

Boost Robotics is building autonomous mobile manipulation robots to remotely perform manual tasks in data centers.

The surge in AI applications is pushing data centers to scale faster than they can manage, leading to suboptimal operations and staffing shortages amid rising power and compute demands.

We save data centers millions in insurance premiums and SLA violations by increasing the frequency of inspection and maintenance while reducing the time it takes to triage and address failures.

Founders & team

Hardik Singh

Founder/CEO

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.

Origins

We met as engineering school freshmen at Carnegie Mellon University in 2015, when we both joined the same competitive Bhangra dance team. Over the next 10 years, we have lived together, performed and won awards at Bhangra competitions, worked together in school projects, and both received separate robotics Master’s degrees from CMU’s Robotics Institute. In every context we have worked together, we have found ways to grow, overcome challenges, and succeed. We’re excited to take the next step with this venture.
