波士頓動力Stretch 搬運(yùn)碼垛機(jī)器人

Mobile robotics developer Boston Dynamics has created a warehouse-specific robot that is capable of moving boxes and automating other distribution-center tasks.

The robot, dubbed Stretch, rapidly moves boxes in warehouse or distribution center settings. Outfitted with a lightweight arm, which is capable of 7° of freedom, a smart gripper and computer vision technology, Stretch can reportedly unload boxes from trucks or be used to build orders.Source: Boston Dynamics

According to Boston Dynamics, Stretch will increase the flow of goods, improve safety and lower the operating costs of a warehouse.

Although Stretch won’t be commercially available until 2022, Boston Dynamics is looking for partners to test the technology via Stretch’s Early Adopter Program.
