Hello!
We are Hans and Hardik - longtime friends and co-founders of Boost Robotics.
TL;DR
Boost Robotics builds autonomous mobile manipulation robots that can inspect and physically interact with data center infrastructure.
Instead of dispatching technicians for every cable check, reboot, or hardware swap, data centers can now triage and resolve issues through “robot remote hands”. When not performing interventions, the robots continuously provide 24/7 security monitoring and operational analytics.

🚨 The Problem
As AI infrastructure continues to scale up, data center physical operations are becoming increasingly difficult:
Now more than ever, robots are gaining the dexterity and generality to solve these critical problems.
🤖 The Solution
We are building a general purpose robot to handle a variety of use cases in data centers.
Early Renderings of our Robot
Bi-Manual Teleoperation of the Manipulation Subsystem
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 lived together, worked together in school projects, and both received Master’s degrees from CMU’s Robotics Institute. We always knew we would start a company together.
Hardik was previously robotics team lead at an agtech startup where he pivoted the team to a new product and made sales within 1 month. He was selected as commencement speaker for the CMU School of Computer Science Masters ceremony by his professors in recognition of his leadership.
Hans was previously a Staff Software Engineer at Boston Dynamics, where he worked on productizing computer vision algorithms for the Spot inspection robot. Before that, he built GPS-denied drone autonomy at a startup and conducted legged robotics research at CMU’s Robotics Institute.
Our Ask
We're actively seeking forward-thinking data centers to pilot our autonomous robotics platform at their facilities.
Reach out to us at founders@boostrobotics.ai — let’s shape the future of data center operations together.
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.
