Article: Physical AI – Building the Energy Infrastructure for Data Centers

Published: October 1, 2025 | Forbes

As the global demand for artificial intelligence accelerates, data centers are consuming unprecedented amounts of energy—straining traditional power infrastructure and creating an urgent need for renewable solutions. Forbes’ recent feature explores how Physical AI technologies are reshaping the construction landscape by addressing these growing energy and labor challenges.

Among the innovators leading this transformation is Xpanner, a South Korea-founded automation company that is redefining how renewable energy projects are built. With its Physical AI-powered systems, Xpanner turns existing heavy machinery into intelligent, autonomous tools capable of operating around the clock with precision and safety. Its X1 Kit enables automated pile driving, grading, and site monitoring—critical processes in the construction of large-scale solar farms and other renewable infrastructure.

The article highlights how Xpanner’s “Automation as a Service” approach is helping major U.S. EPC contractors accelerate project timelines, improve quality consistency, and reduce labor dependency in remote and demanding job sites. Through real-time project data, adaptive machine intelligence, and cloud-based analytics, Xpanner delivers measurable productivity and safety gains while reducing operational costs.

Forbes positions Physical AI not as a distant vision, but as a practical, field-proven force driving the energy transition forward. By combining automation, data, and domain expertise, Xpanner is building the foundation for a smarter, more sustainable energy infrastructure—one that powers both the digital and physical future.
