Meta is testing robots capable of performing physical tasks inside its data centers. This push could eventually reduce the amount of human labor required to operate the massive facilities that power the company's artificial intelligence ambitions.
The experiments, reported on by WIRED, involve robotic systems from several manufacturers, including Watney Robotics, Kinova and ABB. Current and former Meta workers told the publication that the company is evaluating increasingly sophisticated machines as it rapidly expands its global AI infrastructure.
