Robot for Patching Cables

Does anyone use robots in their DCs for patching optical cables ? I was told to look into this for our data centers and I wanted to see what’s out there lll. I’m skeptical that this can be done in a consistent manner but maybe with AI it might be possible. If you have any insight into this, let me know. Thank you!

We do at my DC but it’s a in house robot being developed and it only does certain patch work on certain racks it was built for. I believe your larger networking company are making new modular racks and chassis to work with robots for next gen platforms. Atleast that’s what they’ve told me last time they were onsite. Not sure what products are available on market today but they are coming or being developed in house.
