Boston Dynamics
By having Stretch take on the physically demanding task of unloading trailers stacked floor to ceiling with boxes, Gap Inc has reduced injuries, lowered turnover, and watched employees get excited about automation intended to keep them safe.

Instead of four workers unloading four trucks, soon it will be one worker monitoring four robots unloading four trucks. The rest? Unemployed.
But can it load a trailer?
А до кожного робота прикріплена людина )) ще до автономності роботів як до Києва рачки. Коробки які подає на лінфю роботизована рука хто накладає, і не простіше їм відразу їх класти на лінію конвеєра, нащо створювати ланку з роботизованою рукою 😅 всі ці ролики про роботів досі виглядають смішно
I was wondering how this robot would handle a box marked with "attention glass " mark or "this side up" ????
Just say it saved you man power
It's efficient, but it's way cooler if you get a ton of the dogbots to work the shop. Making dogbot pyramids to reach those boxes.. Epitome of wasted resources but entertaining as hell.
Yeah guys will not be "excited to work with robots instead of doing the physical work", instead those labourers will be fired and need to find an equivalent job, and the company hires a guy who actually knows how to set up and manage several of the robots at the same time.
Eu imagino um mundo que ainda não acontece, mas esta ao alcance das possibilidades tecnológicas atuais.
Funny how they chose exactly the lanes 68 and 69 for the video. Epic.
Endlich in Deutsch, vielen Dank 😊
This is just a robotic arm with wheels.
Tariff is going to give this operator hard time, where BD won’t be able to help. 😢
if you make a self-driving truck that has one of these, you just replaced all of the delivery cost of human minimum wage labour…..
I envisage those of arms inside the container that link up via a frequency signal ,with those inside the delivery bay area, that network with each other,, pretty cool 👽 little network it will be 🦎🇦🇺🛸🦎🛸
Pfff… I can do that with a circuit, a gear, and an iron plate
Looks to me like it would take the robot 6 or more hours to unload that whole truck vs a crew of 6 people like we do at my workplace, (two inside placing boxes on the belt, 2 outside on each side of the belt placing boxes on carts or pallets), about an hour and a half maybe 2 hours at most.
the future is already here BostonDynamics
carry on
As we know, this is just beginning 😢
✅💯🚀
I would love to learn how to fix these. I’m already at your warehouses
Pallet yards took a hit
Ready player 1 will be the wave soon
bosses are not your friends, don't forget it
China has far more advanced systems.
Can you make a one legged robot with a taser and a camera built for guard
I want them to make the runner from generation zero so badly
It’s way too slow and not every box comes in perfect shape. Many are actually quite busted. Also what is the machine’s useful lifespan? Could the company using this ever see a return on investment? It’s not like humans get paid much to do this.
bye bye human jobs. 🙂
ROBOTS CAN GO TO H*LL F*** ROBOTS 🤬
As someone that has done container unloading as a job once apon a time, in the baking Australian sun, I love the idea of Stretch!!!
Those are the most unrealistic conditions I’ve ever seen when unloading a trailer. First of all… no warehouse in the world deals with homogeneous size boxes. Then, broken, wet or heavy boxes wouldn’t be picked up by a vacuum. What happens if the labels are placed facing the opposite way, how would the robot read it? Pallets never go on a trailer if isn’t not on top of a pallet. There is also the need of an operator to use the robot. This is a cool robot and what not, but is not meant for the real world. Safe to say, unloaders have their jobs secured. And it would take minutes to unload a palletized load as opposed to hours with a robot like this.
It’s actually evil what you are doing.
Cannot wait to see a documentary about humans that fall in love with these bots haha
I work at a warehouse and it is not that simple. Picking up heavy boxes, glass, unusual sized boxes, there's no way that silly robot can do that.
tell me more about those vacuum grippers, can they be used to clean a house? is it smart enough to not suck up a favorite t-shirt if i leave one on the floor by accident? also how much are one of these Stretch robots? thanks!
