“#Boston Dynamics introduces ‘Stretch’, new warehouse worker robot<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

US robotics company Boston Dynamics on Monday unveiled a new robot called Stretch, designed to perform one very specific warehouse job: moving boxes.<\/p>\n

Stretch is the first robot for one task that the company has built, based on requests received from companies around the world, said Michael Perry, vice president of business development for Boston Dynamics.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard pretty much universally across warehousing that truck unloading is one of the most physically difficult and unpleasant jobs \u2026 And that\u2019s where Stretch comes into play,\u201d Perry told Reuters.<\/p>\n

Stretch has a small mobile base that allows it to move around tight spaces in existing warehouses without having to reconfigure them for automation. It is equipped with an arm and a smart-gripper with advanced sensing and computer vision cameras that can identify and handle a large variety of boxed and shrink wrapp<\/a>ed cases.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking at picking up boxes around 50 pounds and our maximum rate of picking up and moving boxes can reach up to 800 cases per hour. So, it\u2019s a fast-moving, highly versatile robot,\u201d Perry said.<\/p>\n

The Waltham, Massachusetts-based company is known for YouTube<\/a> videos of its dog-like \u2018Spot\u2019 and humanoid \u2018Atlas\u2019 robots.<\/p>\n

Hyundai Motor Group recently agreed to buy a controlling stake in Boston Dynamics from SoftBank Group Corp in a deal that values the robot maker at $1.1 billion.<\/p>\n

And Perry said the time is ripe for the new \u201cbot on the block\u201d to capitalize on an ever-increasing consumer demand for speedy home delivery.<\/p>\n

Analysts say the warehousing sector experienced an extremely strong 2020, with growth expected to continue this year. They point to the dynamics of 2020, as online shopping amid the pandemic drove the need for a massive expansion in order fulfillment services.<\/p>\n

Boston Dynamics hasn\u2019t released any pricing for Stretch, but said the system can be installed \u201cwithout requiring costly reconfiguration or investments in new fixed infrastructure.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
