Good thanks
Why does Strech drop all boxes about 20cm on to the belt? Wouldn’t it be better to set them down gently?
I thought this was an announcement video for your new robot dog.
Love your passion Fifi, you clearly are the right person for the job with your passion, vibrant personality and crystal clear outlook on the world. You have amazing qualities and I love seeing products developed by people with your unique intelligence & skills.
Wow! a lot of trolls out here, but you can figure it is only because they watch too much science fiction…
You not only didn't say the reach in metric but also made an abnoxious comparison that didn't shine any light to many people 😂😂 lowkey love the commitment tho
No questions from me. Just a comment. You're so cool, Fifi! Keep up the amazing work!
I am puzzled at the many downvotes on this video, this was very interesting and Fifi seems like she loves her job, what's not to like!!?
I wonder how many black engineers they have, specially women
Is there a process for Stretch to recognize cartons that require a certain side remain up?
Love that you guys are using linux on some of your workstations. That makes me beyond happy to see!

i have a question please? : Why does Stretch™not have 3 sides to it's pickup? From what i see in this video, Stretch™ can only pick from top, with flat-ish surfaces only. Would two more sides not assist with GRIP and therefore enable 'other' shaped objects to be handled as efficiently?
seems to me that an |~| shaped pickup would be far superior (where ~ is double-sided suction) and where | = angleable through 180 degrees?
is there a way i could see these robots in person? like are there tour groups or conventions for you're robots?
They're starting to look really human now, especially with the xmas jumper.
Stretch boring, Atlas exciting.

I clicked expecting to meet Fifi the robot. But I'm happy to have met Fifi the human. I mean she is human, right? right?
when will we see these robots on the streets, walking alone?
Wait ….. Did she say pet cactus 🌵?
I genuinely thought she was a robot made to imitate a real person until I saw the first captions explaining who she was
Fifi is a factario fan I bet. Respect.
Every trailer I've ever unloaded had the freight on pallets. Unload the entire truck with a fork lift in 5 minutes, then let Stretch unload the pallets. This was not a real-world demonstration.
There is so much delight in Fifi's eyes, too! This is very inspirational
Thank you Fifi! I love your passion and presentation! Well done!
