Boston Dynamics
Boston Dynamics’ Stretch is a warehouse-specific robot designed to automate case handling tasks. Introduced in 2021, Stretch autonomously unloads boxes from trucks and places them onto conveyor belts, enhancing efficiency in logistics and material handling. With onboard sensors and a battery-powered design, Stretch can move hundreds of cases per hour, ensuring predictable warehouse operations. Its deployment in facilities like DHL’s warehouses demonstrates its capability to handle dull, dirty, and dangerous tasks, freeing up human workers for more complex duties
