This gripper sucks—literally. Stretch’s vacuum gripper uses individually actuated cups to handle a range of boxes with ease. See what makes the cut, so you can avoid your own frightful freight mismatches this Halloween!

The gripper sucks #bostondynamics #robot
I enjoy robots but isn’t this a bit over engineered?
I need it for research
Boxes, more boxes
Is that as fast as it can go? It’s all well and good saying it can do that 27/7 but there’s deadlines in package handling, and this thing would be a massive bottleneck in the system! 3 guys would do 3 trailers while this thing is doing one, and that’s being very conservative.
Sucker instead of clasps. I think clasps or "fingers" are better. I cannot explain why at the moment but I'll say this tho:
Suckers, I think, are only good for small and non-fragile items.
Fingers or claws are better on having fragile and heavy items just to be on it.
As the example shown in the video the suckers are pulling on the boxes themselves. What if there's a heavy and delicate item in, and the box ripped and torn?
Idk. I'm not a scientist of any sort. I could be a fool for even thinking that.
My foolish sulotion? Both of them: suckers and grippers in one robot.
😂🤝👏👏👏
As long as there are wide amounts of tape on them!
better robot
👏 Big breakthrough. You solved suction and a rotating arm 😂 Hate to burst your bubble but you are about 50 years late smh.
Sooo…. Only boxes
How about wet box or really wet box?
The one!
La fin approche.
The bigger the suck, the bigger the load! 🎉
Sick advertisement or WARNING??!!
When it sucks, it's not a sitting duck.😁
can it only grip where there is enough tape? 🤔
Excessive tape on all the boxes makes me wonder if it needs that to create a good seal..
But are heavy cardboard boxes strong enough to be bottoms? 🤔
Super
Wow, suprised Hyundai lets you post something like this. Don't go changin'.
What happens when they don't use a bunch of extra plastic packing tape all over the top to give the suction cups a good seal?
Stretch reminds me of DUM-E
没活了？
I feel like it could probably have managed the pumpkin.
Show me one company or warehouse that stacks they’re loaded trailers, neatly, and perfectly
Individually actuated cups is the clever bit. When a box has a dent or a torn flap, does Stretch just shut off those cups and hold it with the rest?
This only works for very light boxes or loads of tape on the top that can suck it up. You need 2 hands from each side and some lifting power there to actually move the box. This robotic automation is still probably a decade off before they take over all the manual labour jobs in the world.
Whats the price of that? I do all shipping of my products myself. Handling 30kg packages each day. This would help tremendously
