San Francisco, California, United States

General-purpose robots for skilled electrical work in data centers and advanced manufacturing.

Overview

Shepherd Robotics builds general-purpose robots for skilled physical work in data centers and advanced manufacturing. Its systems combine adaptable robot hardware, foundation-model software, workflow integration, and ongoing support, with an initial focus on cable handling, electrical checks, mechanical and PCB assembly, kitting, and packaging. The company presents bench demonstrations and simulations for construction, operations, maintenance, and electrical-manufacturing workflows, while clearly labeling projected productivity and error-reduction figures as illustrative rather than measured results. Founded in 2026 and based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Shepherd is led by co-founders Feifei Duan, David Fang, and Kai Ru and participated in Y Combinator’s Fall 2026 batch.
