I wish I had a perception mast
how does the robot aim 👉 😅
ok this is actually interesting when problems are highlighted and the solution story told – fr a lot of companies don't share "problems"
and kinda sweet spiders scare the robot ❤️🔥🫠
I welcome our robot overlords.
The scenes with Ethan Lauer are very reminiscent of TV series from the 60s and 70s! Which contrasts sharply with Stretch's technology. 😉
So box density is measured how?
That's actually hilarious! It's nice to know even they fear spiders 😂
Show us the new atlas please 🙂
Definitely going to eliminate some of the ongoing work related lifting injuries !
Who/what loaded the truck?
Алгоритма тестирования датчиков не предусмотрено? Достаточно делать периодическую проверку, что при движении и повороте препятствие не меняет своего положения и система поймёт, что проблема в датчике.
What I wanna know is how does Stretch grab onto those boxes? How do those suction cups (?) work, since cardboard is a porous surface and vacuum cannot really form. Also, what is the heaviest weight Stretch can pick up?
That spiderweb story reminds me of a possibly-apocryphal tale I heard once, that the term "bug" came from an early computer that couldn't start up because of a ladybug that had died inside of it.
I have known of Boston Dynamics since the 1990s. My late husband was a Millwright, and he installed these wonderful robots at the Sony TV plant in Rancho Bernardo, San Diego, California.
Ethan has a great dress style. The robots will eat him last. 😉
Definitely impressive…..but no company will have boxes like that….the boxes will be on a skid and a forklift will empty that trailer out in 15 minutes.
Come out with a Stretch Forklift and that will be something very useful. (I'm a manufacturing engineer)
Definitely going to eliminate some of the ongoing work related lifting injuries ! ……
Boxes are easy 😂. Do a normal delivery mix
Wtf is stretch? What happened to Handlebot! Give him his wheelie legs back rahhhh
Did they code around the spider web situation?
Honey the robot freaked out!! it ran away from a spider 😂😂😂
ok this could work if robot is used to unload a truck full of similar shaped boxes filled with feathers, but can we see one realistic scenario with a real load from the post office?
