Mobile case-handling robot for unloading trucks and containers and moving boxes up to 50 lb.
Verdict: A strong fit where truck unloading is the labor bottleneck. It is sold through the vendor's sales team, so expect a scoping and pricing conversation rather than a shelf purchase.
Stretch is a mobile manipulator from Boston Dynamics for case handling at the dock. Boston Dynamics says it moves hundreds of cases an hour, handles packages up to 50 pounds, works within existing warehouse infrastructure without pre-programming, and is running within days of delivery. Its battery supports single or multiple shifts.
