Hyperscale Data, Inc. has begun installing OPR-R2 robots at its Michigan artificial intelligence data center, marking the launch of what the company describes as a large-scale visual data collection and physical AI training program.

The first unit was assembled at the facility on July 16, 2026, according to an announcement from the Las Vegas-based company, which trades on NYSE American under the ticker GPUS.

Fleet Size and Deployment Plans

Omnipresent Robotics, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyperscale Data, currently has an order in place for 143 OPR-R2 robots. Of those, up to 100 are anticipated for installation at the Michigan facility, while the remaining units are expected to be allocated to partner pilot programs.

The company said it expects to provide more information on potential pilot programs over the coming months.

The company was careful to note that delivery and installation timing remains subject to manufacturing lead times, supply chain conditions, and other factors outside its control, adding that actual timing may differ materially from current expectations.

A Dedicated Robotics Campus Within an Existing Facility

To support the deployment, Hyperscale Data is developing an approximately 100,000-square-foot dedicated robotics facility within its existing Michigan AI data center campus.

The space is expected to support the deployment and operation of OPR-R2 robots, the performance of real-world physical tasks, the collection and processing of visual training data, and related AI development activities.

The company has previously disclosed that this dedicated robotics facility and the related expansion could support the creation of more than 500 jobs over approximately the next three years as the program develops and operations expand.

Robots as Data Generators, Not Just Machines

According to Hyperscale Data, the OPR-R2 robots are not being deployed primarily to evaluate the robots themselves. Instead, the fleet is intended to function as a real-world data-generation platform.

The robots will perform practical, day-to-day tasks in operating environments while capturing visual, spatial, movement and interaction data.

That data is expected to be processed and validated for use in training and improving advanced foundation models, including large language models, vision-language-action models, robotics foundation models and other multimodal artificial intelligence systems.

The program is specifically designed to address what the company identifies as one of the principal challenges facing physical and embodied AI: the availability of high-quality, real-world data demonstrating how machines perceive, navigate and interact with physical environments.

Data to Remain in the United States

Hyperscale Data stated that all data generated through the program will be processed, warehoused and maintained in the United States.

The company said it does not intend for data generated through the program to leave the country.

Will Horne, Chief Executive Officer of Hyperscale Data, framed the data sovereignty commitment alongside the broader ambition of the initiative.

"The arrival of the first OPR-R2 robot in Michigan represents the beginning of an important real-world data-generation program," Horne said.

"These robots will perform physical tasks and generate the visual, spatial and interaction data required to train increasingly advanced AI models."

Horne added that the Michigan campus is being developed specifically for Omnipresent Robotics and the physical AI initiative, and that the company believes the dedicated facility can become an important center for generating, processing and warehousing high-quality physical-world data for large language models, multimodal AI systems and other advanced AI applications.

A Continuous Physical AI Development Cycle

The company outlined its vision for what it calls a continuous physical AI development cycle, in which robots generate real-world data, that data is processed and validated, AI models are trained and improved, and those improvements are subsequently incorporated into future robotic deployments.

The company believes the integration of Omnipresent Robotics with its Michigan AI and data center infrastructure creates the conditions for this kind of iterative development loop.

Hyperscale Data said it intends to provide additional information regarding the OPR-R2 deployment, the tasks being performed, the types of data being generated and the development of its broader physical AI and robotics data platform in future announcements.

Company Background

Hyperscale Data operates its AI data center activities through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., which mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the AI ecosystem and other industries.

The company also owns Ault Capital Group, Inc., described as a hybrid private equity firm and operating company with holdings across financial services, digital assets, industrial services, hospitality, defense technologies and other sectors.

Hyperscale Data has previously disclosed that it currently expects the divestiture of Ault Capital Group to occur in the second quarter of the year.
