Boston Dynamics, the company many people know for its dog robot Spot, has unveiled a new bot targeting warehouses.
The company’s new robot called Stretch was designed for moving boxes at warehouses and distribution centers.
Stretch features a small, omni-directional mobile base, a custom-designed lightweight arm and a smart-gripper with advanced sensing and controls to handle a variety of packages.
“Warehouses are struggling to meet rapidly increasing demand as the world relies more on just-in-time delivery of goods,” said Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics, in a statement Monday. “Mobile robots enable the flexible movement of materials and improve working conditions for employees.”
Boston Dynamics said it plans to deploy Stretch starting in 2022. Read more from USA Today.
