Stretch

Boston Dynamics' purpose-built warehouse robot designed for autonomous case unloading. Stretch can move up to 800 boxes per hour from trucks and containers onto conveyor belts, working up to two full shifts (16 hours) on a single battery charge. Descended from the Handle research robot, Stretch was introduced in 2021 as Boston Dynamics' first warehouse-specific product. It requires no pre-programming of SKU numbers or box sizes — its vision system detects and handles a wide range of package types autonomously, including recovering fallen packages. Deployed at major logistics companies including DHL, NFI, Gap, Arvato, and Maersk. Can be installed and operational within existing warehouse infrastructure in five days or less.
