Boston Dynamics’ Stretch robot begins work at the Otto Group in Germany. It’s currently helping the company’s Hermes logistics center improve operations and maintain high safety standards in accordance with Germany’s national standards.
In this demo, we can see Stretch tackling the tedious and grueling job of unloading heavy cases so that employees at the logistics center can take on more valuable assignments. The single robotic arm that has seven degrees of freedom (DOF) and an intelligent gripper at the end of the arm. The joints provide the arm with extraordinary dexterity in tight spaces when moving boxes, while the gripper has vacuum suction cups that securely grasp packages.
