Abstract
A data-center-module relocation device may include a plurality of interchangeable end effectors, including at least one module relocation effector that is dimensioned to hold data-center modules. The device may also include a robotic arm with a distal end adapted to switch between the plurality of interchangeable end effectors and select the module relocation effector as an active end effector for the robotic arm. In addition, the device may include an actuator that moves the robotic arm to cause the robotic arm to relocate, from one location in a data center to another location in the data center, a data-center module held by the module relocation effector. Various other apparatuses, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
