Boston Dynamics Stretch

Our Verdict: A game-changer for truck unloading with unmatched speed and the agility you'd expect from Boston Dynamics.

Boston Dynamics Stretch is a mobile robot specifically designed for warehouse box moving tasks, particularly truck unloading and palletizing. Its large vacuum gripper on an articulated arm can handle boxes up to 23 kg, picking and placing up to 800 cases per hour from the back of a trailer.

Stretch moves on an omnidirectional mobile base, allowing it to quickly reposition between trailers at loading docks. Its perception system identifies boxes of varying sizes and orientations in cluttered trailer environments, adapting its grasp strategy in real time using advanced computer vision.
