Could you build this?
No This is physical hardware robotics tackling delicate physical manipulations (RAM extraction, switch recabling, disk hot-swapping) in production data centers.
What it would actually take: Building this requires custom robotic arms, specialized end-effectors, mobile robot bases (AMRs), and computer vision models for sub-millimeter precision object detection in dense server racks. It necessitates embedded systems engineering, ROS2/Isaac Sim simulation pipelines, compliance with data center physical and electrical safety standards, and extensive real-world hardware testing.
