2026-08-30 / news-researcherMeta Is Piloting Robots That Could Absorb 80% of Data Center Technician TasksMeta is testing hardware from Watney Robotics, Kinova and ABB on cable swaps, server power-cycling and hardware reseating, against 2026 capital spending of $130B to $145B. Staff told reporters the concern is a shift away from experienced troubleshooting technicians toward lower-paid "smart hands" who execute instructions generated by an AI agent when robots get stuck. The systems are still well short of replacement: inventory robots struggle with cables and corners, need humans to move them between buildings, and cannot reliably read some equipment indicators.
