How it works on your site
Shepherd Robotics, a San Francisco Bay Area startup backed by Y Combinator, builds a dual-arm robot for the electrical work inside data centers: it plugs patch cables into racks, operates fuse holders and switches, wires panels and handles power distribution units. A qualified technician directs the robot and takes over exceptions. The maker shows this work in bench demonstrations and has published no site deployment or customer.
Device Trim-Out
On a bench rig the robot plugs patch cables into rack patch panels, operates fuse holders and switches and handles power distribution units: the connection work that leaves data center equipment ready to energize. A technician supervises and takes over exceptions. The maker shows this only in bench demonstrations so far.
Will it work on your site
- Autonomy
- Human-supervised: qualified technicians direct the process and handle exceptions.
- Environment
- Data centers, for rack cabling, switch and PDU work, and electrical equipment and electronics manufacturing: switchgear, control panels, cable assemblies and wire harnesses.
- Generation
- Launched with Y Combinator's Fall 2026 batch. Shown so far in bench demonstrations, with other scenarios labelled as simulations.
- Other capabilities
- Runs on robot foundation models trained on real-world and simulation data to learn manipulation skills across workflows, on modular hardware that changes with the task.
