Boost Robotics
"Digital Infra. Physical Agents."
US startup building autonomous mobile manipulation robots for data center inspection, maintenance, and security monitoring; YC X25 company.
Boost Robotics is a US-based startup founded in 2025, headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. The company builds autonomous mobile manipulation robots designed specifically for the inspection and maintenance of data center infrastructure. Boost Robotics was part of Y Combinator's X25 (Spring 2025) batch.
The company was co-founded by Hans Kumar and Hardik Singh, who met as freshmen at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in 2015 and both subsequently earned Master's degrees from CMU's Robotics Institute. Hans Kumar previously worked as a Staff Software Engineer at Boston Dynamics, where he focused on computer vision for the Spot inspection robot. Hardik Singh previously led a robotics team at an agtech startup, where he pivoted the team's product focus and secured early commercial revenue.
Boost Robotics' core product is an autonomous mobile manipulation robot that can physically interact with data center hardware. The system addresses the challenge of routine data center maintenance tasks — such as cable verification, device reboots, and hardware swaps — that typically require dispatching on-site technicians. Boost Robotics refers to this capability as 'robot remote hands,' allowing data center operators to remotely triage and resolve physical issues through the robot. When not performing active maintenance interventions, the robots provide continuous 24/7 security monitoring and operational analytics of the facility.
The target customers are data center operators and colocation facilities seeking to reduce operational costs and response times for physical maintenance tasks. The company's approach combines mobile robotics with manipulation capabilities, enabling the robot to navigate the data center floor and interact directly with server racks and networking equipment.
As of mid-2025, Boost Robotics is at an early stage with a small team of approximately 2 employees. Founders can be reached at [email protected].
