We're demonstrating Stretch, our mobile case handling robot, unloading containers autonomously at #Modex 2024, and previewing the robot's future mobile palletizing applications.
Learn about new features we've released for Stretch, and where the robot is headed next.

If Stretch could be programmed to throw bags and suitcases onto a conveyor system from a height of around 6', with moderate force, it would be perfect for use in airport baggage handling. Bonus points for crushing, losing and/or misrouting random items of baggage.

In your opinion, what percentage can it handle now?

@SewerTapes 3 ай бұрын

@@matthewisthebest Technically none. If he were a new human hire at UPS, or a competitor, Stretch would be fired within the first 90 days. As well, notice in the video how his packages are all exactly the same size and ideally stacked. No irregular shaped boxes of various weight. No shifted cargo. No top load or backfill (when a loader builds a box wall away from the backwall of the trailer about head high, then throws packages into the void until it fills. Then keeps building head high walls toward the front, throwing stuff into the top void 3 or so rows back.) Everything is staged ideally to favor the robot and keep it moving as quickly as possible for the demo. However, I'm sure Boston Dynamics is gaining valuable data/experience from running Stretch in the field. It will be interesting to see how it develops over the next ten years.

Many shipments come like this. If you fill an entire container, pallets add to shipping cost and aren't otherwise useful at that stage.

So if you want to automate unloading of a single cargo container, you'll have to make a down payment of 500,000$ to get the robot, secondly ensure that the container contains STRICTLY uniform cardboard boxes and nothing else, then setup the robot inside the container and build a conveyor belt system to actually transfer the goods. All this just to empty a single container. This seems completely unviable in real-world use cases when you can hire two guys for 15$/h to empty the container with no problems. These robots will not replace anyone nor will they make commercial impact anytime soon. Sorry to break the mood.
