Company Expects to Deploy First 30 OPR-R2 Humanoid Robots in Third Quarter of 2026 

LAS VEGAS, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Omnipresent Robotics, LLC (“Omnipresent Robotics”), has confirmed the beginning of production through its partner of the first 30 OPR-R2 humanoid robots and expects to begin receiving the components and assembling them for deployment at the Company’s Michigan AI data center campus (the “Michigan Campus”) in the third quarter of 2026.

The initial production represents the first phase of a broader initiative involving 143 OPR-R2 humanoid robots scheduled for deployment throughout the Michigan Campus. The robots are expected to operate from the Company’s planned 100,000-square-foot Robotics Research, Testing and Innovation Center and are intended to support the development of embodied artificial intelligence applications, autonomous workflows, and advanced robotics systems.

The initial 30 robots will be assigned to Omnipresent Robotics’ Model Training Laboratory (the “Laboratory”), where they will work side-by-side with AI infrastructure personnel and data center employees. The robots will assist with data collection, model training, simulation validation, facility operations, and the development of next-generation embodied AI systems.

The Laboratory is being designed to support the training, testing, and validation of advanced foundation models and frontier AI systems, including large language models, vision-language-action models, robotics foundation models, and other forms of physical AI. The Company believes the integration of humanoid robots with high-performance AI computing infrastructure will create a unique environment for developing and evaluating next-generation AI systems capable of operating in real-world environments.

As part of its broader embodied AI strategy, Hyperscale Data intends to utilize its Michigan Campus to generate large-scale real-world training data through Omnipresent Robotics and its fleet of humanoid robots. The Company believes that high-quality real-world data is essential to advancing the next generation of AI systems and robotics applications.

The Laboratory is expected to leverage advanced AI computing resources, including NVIDIA-based infrastructure, to support simulation, training, inference, and robotics workloads. The Company believes the combination of AI infrastructure, humanoid robotics, simulation environments, and real-world data collection will position its Michigan Campus as a significant center for embodied AI research, testing, and commercialization.

“We believe that physical AI is an incredibly important aspect in the future of artificial intelligence,” said Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “While today’s leading AI models excel at reasoning, language, and content generation, tomorrow’s AI systems must be capable of understanding and interacting with the physical world. Our Michigan Campus is being developed to help bridge that gap by creating a large-scale environment where humanoid robots and advanced AI models can continuously learn, train, and improve.”

As additional robots are produced and eventually deployed, Hyperscale Data, through Omnipresent Robotics, expects to expand robotics activities across research, testing, training, logistics, facility operations, customer demonstrations, and commercial application development. The Company believes its Michigan Campus provides a unique opportunity to integrate AI infrastructure, robotics development, and high-performance computing into a single scalable platform.

Governor Dan McKee’s Signature Expected Imminently

PROVIDENCE, R.I., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Teamsters are celebrating the passage of S2504A/H7364A, the Rhode Island Warehouse Worker Protection Act, out of the General Assembly. The legislation will prevent companies like Amazon from abusing their workforce by regulating the use and disclosure of warehouse quotas.

“Amazon and other bad actors who make up the worst employers in our state have been wreaking havoc on workers’ livelihoods and physical well-being for far too long, but we’re putting a stop to in Rhode Island,” said Matt Taibi, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 251 in East Providence.

Gov. McKee has already said he will sign the bill into law. Rhode Island will become the seventh state to enact the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, following California, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Washington, and most recently Connecticut.

“Far too many people who work in warehousing go to work every day and put themselves in harm’s way because of strain or exhaustion, and even then, are told they’re still not abiding by an unknown production standard,” Taibi said. “By working with our allies in the legislature, particularly Rep. Evan Shanley and Senate Majority Leader Frank Ciccone, we’ve leveled the playing field by increasing something that isn’t measured enough: corporate accountability.”

The warehouse bill is the latest legislative success for Rhode Island Teamsters — last session, the union successfully got laws passed to enhance school bus safety and prevent mandatory attendance at anti-union propaganda meetings.

Teamsters Local 251 represents over 6,200 workers in a wide variety of industries throughout Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts. For more information, go to teamsters251.org.
