- We're demonstrating Stretch, our mobile case handling robot, unloading containers autonomously at #Modex 2024, and previewing the robot's future mobile palletizing applications.
Learn about new features we've released for Stretch, and where the robot is headed next.

If Stretch could be programmed to throw bags and suitcases onto a conveyor system from a height of around 6', with moderate force, it would be perfect for use in airport baggage handling.
Bonus points for crushing, losing and/or misrouting random items of baggage.
I wish robotics had been a thing when I was in school...
@@barbg1023 It was, only now they do allow the children to build machines instead of *only building children into machines.
@@barbg1023Depends on your age. I'm 43 now, and had the option of doing Mechatronics at university. I didn't, but if I did then this would be the industry now. I think it's been hugely enabled by modern vision systems though. Robotics was definitely a higher education subject in the year 2000
Love the way it still drops the boxes on the tracks despite having total accurate control over the pickers height. True replication of human actions 😂
I have shipped glass pieces before.. thats not really dropping like humans who are rushed to do pieces faster and faster, based on one person who had the fastest time to unload... itll get better but youre exaggerating
@@dertythegrowerThat’s how Walmart tried to do us. But I wasn’t gullible enough to fall for it. I was considered the fastest and I was purposely going at half the speed I’m capable of lol. My coworkers were so slow and lazy that they made me look exceptional 😂.
@@thanos879 For over 100 years Taylorism has been the crack cocaine of management, now AI will replace all the workers and management alike and when society is nudged to revolt the drones will enforce martial law. Helluva time to be alive.
Damn this hits home
Who or what loves the way? You or someone else? I think you're missing a part of a sentence.
yes the robot provides reliable dependable throughput but the more important question here is *Can it dance*
stretch: using its sucktion cup arm to climb a stripper poll
Yes
I love Boston Dynamics. After I get my degree someday, hopefully, I can work there.
go for it man!!!
Hopedully!
I wish you luck
Get a lot of experience with robotics outside of your degree plan. Make a portfolio of projects with results.
@agent136 Thx for the advice man 😃.
You guys are amazing
Awesome
Too cool!
Unfortunately we could not see where that conveyor belt is leading to. Was there another stretch filling the other other container, or was it manual labor?
Thanks.
Love from India
:( I wanted dancing robots
The dance video is still available to watch. 😁
I would not want to do the Tango with that thing's suckers.
Robots can't dance all day. They're still expensive, and have to earn their keep too.
I really wish I had a viable use for one of these robots, the money to buy it, and room enough in my house to store it and have it move about. They are really, really cool. I have one thing that my house robots can't do, and that is vacuuming and mopping stairways. But that does not seem to be a development focus for Boston Dynamics. 😁 I guess I'll have to wait for iRobot to come up with the stair climbing vacuum and mopper. But my Roombas can't dance. ☹️
😐
Yeah these could be a game changer
Love the 'I'm not a robot' T-shirt
teach him to work with a bagged load weighing 50 kg, then he will be in demand
It's already claiming to move 50kg boxes, so all it needs is a appropriate gripper. I mean, that's a 1 year development cycle away if they want to.
I’ve worked at fedex while in college. trucks don’t show up with neatly stacked boxes, good luck with that. Actually most of the time u can’t hardly open the door because the boxes are tilting towards it and come pouring out all over the floor
if it can unload, it can also load
As a young man I worked at a food warehouse, cross stacking and plastic wrap solves spillage.
I was in my early 20s the first time I saw an automated wrapping machine and felt like I had been cheated into years of intentionally inflicted dizziness!
And usually large loads like this are on pallets, hence the forklifts to bring them out. Not sure what scenario this would be for.
@@xx_naasson_xxgoods often come from overseas stacked in shipping containers like that, no pallets. Then it gets palletized and loaded into a semi trailer for domestic shipment.
This is going to be a overall revolution both the pickers and packers are going to be robots.
Anyone who has ever worked loading/unloading boxes can tell you how woefully inadequate Stretch is at this time. Especially for courier hubs like UPS and FedEx. He's come a long way, but he has even further to go before he becomes practical.
In your opinion, what percentage can it handle now?
@@matthewisthebest
Technically none. If he were a new human hire at UPS, or a competitor, Stretch would be fired within the first 90 days. As well, notice in the video how his packages are all exactly the same size and ideally stacked. No irregular shaped boxes of various weight. No shifted cargo. No top load or backfill (when a loader builds a box wall away from the backwall of the trailer about head high, then throws packages into the void until it fills. Then keeps building head high walls toward the front, throwing stuff into the top void 3 or so rows back.) Everything is staged ideally to favor the robot and keep it moving as quickly as possible for the demo. However, I'm sure Boston Dynamics is gaining valuable data/experience from running Stretch in the field. It will be interesting to see how it develops over the next ten years.
@@SewerTapes If the boxes were loaded onto the container by a stretch as well as unloaded, would that solve the issue?
@@limiv5272
If all boxes being the same is normal for the place in the video, using Stretch for loading would make sense, as it would efficiently set up for the next robot.
@@limiv5272
I also hadn't thought about running the robots 24/7. If companies do that, then Stretch could move more volume at this speed than a human working a normal shift. So, maybe it really doesn't need to be much faster, just "smarter" and more adaptive. I'm sure we'll be blown away by where this tech ends up though.
through out all the years have passed this is still the best robotics company ever created
waiting for the version I can put on my roof to clean the solar panels and clean the gutters.😁
This is so cool.
"In the beginning there was man... And for a time... It was good."
2:15 I'd like to have that shirt, too.
cool
We've seen this one before. Is this a re-upload?
No. You watched the video similar to this made a year ago. Things improve and they showcase the improvements in this video, if you didn't pay attention.
@@lawrencefrost9063 I knew it was a different video ;). The footage from the conference/trade show is near identical to the other video. It's a comment about their originality on this video. As far as i'm aware it's the only video they've published that is very similar to a previous video.
Kindly share pricing so that interested people may consider your product... 🙏
The fourth industrial revolution is "priceless"
😍
Out of genuine curiosity, what type of cable connector is used on that connection to the operator's terminal? 2:44
The video does not really show the connector.
But in general you use something like M12 connectors for that kind of applications.
Muito bom 👍 👍 👍
1:05 Imagine a friend helping unload a U-Haul truck at your new house and watching him drop every box from about 10 inches -- dishes, glasses, electronics, etc.
I'm sure drop height is a parameter.
It will prob see fragile symbol on box, and adjust.
Or can be adjusted permanently for all boxes (I'm guessing)
still treating the box better than most of the humans
You're assuming that the drop height is not a parameter that can be adjusted. It seems like that would be one of the easier things to do. In fact, in the video you can see it being much more delicate when it's lining up and stacking boxes on a pallet.
@@kmw8775exactly... also i ship glass.. that isnt ten inches drop.. and they can adjust it with a simple laser.... simple. And no glass is packed with bubblewrap, wouldnt break from three inches onto a conveyor
Have you ever seen a loaded Chinese container?
I've been doing this job when I was a student, things were never aligned as good as that 😂 looking forward a real world example
Maybe if the truck was packed by another Stretch... I noticed that they didn't show the output end of the conveyor belt and if they had another robot restacking the boxes in another container that would have been highlighted. Still, this lets customers push human labor up to higher-value tasks.
What are the service intervals for the bearings, arms, motors, linkages etc? Can these devices be serviced in the field by the operators or do specialized companies have to fix or be returned to BD? Is there a market for mobile repair companies to come in and do this work?
Looks like it would have problems with boxes that are damaged or poorly wrapped.
👍
damn they just makin the robots from wall-e
Tesla Optimus. 😍
La gente de los comentarios hablan como nuestros abuelos que lindos ❤
ну это все при идеальных условиях
покажите как робот будет разгружать мятые и сломанные коробки
Hope one day it could be applied in the airplane, taking in / out the luggage from small aircraft carriers
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm a bit concerned that it's dropping boxes with a fragile sign from a height of a foot or so
Good things live humans packaged into boxes are somwhat resilient😜
Boxes arent usually as neat as that man its gonna be though but soon it should be ok
Thank fuck. I had a warehouse job and they barely even have air conditioning in the places. I've seen people pass out from heat exhaustion.
Now do loading the container...
Why are those boxes not palletized? Who ships like this.
Many shipments come like this. If you fill an entire container, pallets add to shipping cost and aren't otherwise useful at that stage. Logistics companies on the receiving end may palletize them for further shipping in smaller quantities and as partial loads for containers. Obviously any company that buys a Stretch get shipments that a Stretch can handle.
I noticed that the boxes are very shiny from a distance suggesting that the robot can't pick up a regular cardboard box and needs a coating/wrapped in plastic.? 🤔
Pick up cardboard boxes with suction cups is not a new thing, and no you don't need shiny surface.
@@icykenny92 To hold it for an extended time they always fall off.
I guess they did that for the fair, so they can pick up, transport and restack those boxes hundreds of times during the entire fair, while a regular box in the real world only needs to be picked up way less than that. Also I wouldn't take chances as well when your product is on display.
@@hulkgqnissanpatrol6121 You know you can adjust how much suction you need, these use a compressor.
@@hauptmannoffensichtlich2312 definitely but it's kinda lieing though! Anyone who's worked in warehouse knows how dirty some stock is and the amount of dust at the end of the day is black.
I honestly can't see these things working in the real world apart from companies like Amazon where their stock is in clean rooms and the buildings are positively pressurised ect
Please give us another humanoid robot .
The head guy needs to relax a bit. No need to talk 100 mph.

When these machines are already working, many people will be replaced by them, which is why they have been talking about universal basic income for a long time.
I hope ubi can become a thing rather than just people out of jobs and nothing to get up for in the morning.
Some jobs will be replaced, but not everybody, since some of them will be trained to do the care and feeding of the robots: set up jobs, bring them to the location, start them, periodically check on them, park them, and recharge them. But the job they are replacing is repetitive lifting of and turning with heavy boxes. That's a job you do want to go away. It causes back, shoulder and knee injuries.
@@philhasacamera If enough people lose their jobs ubi will come 100% because if people can't spend at least as much money as now, the economy will collapse
The world is reigned by kings, always was. Individuals and families that have more money that one can imagine. You never can earn that amount of money.
When automation takes over, they won't allow the human cattle to procreate uncontrolled. There'll be an elite population of maybe a few million living in heaven on earth. It'll be also better for mother earth I guess.
@@kmw8775 Not how this all works... its like getting rid of oil for ev.. and i literally work with robots for tesla(shorts) honda has replaced so many with robots, they break and it delays us way more than a group of humans... shortsasProof i am not lying.. i also did a clip... on ubi.. on Elon admitting it at the world government summit in Dubai last year, on ubi.. i outwork all you all heh, and i aint rich...🤐
Isabella Gray
There goes every job my husband does.😮💨
They said learn to code but ai replaced all those guys now.. i win 😅
Your husband's dancing career died before it even started
Marry a robot.
@@dertythegrower who do you think is developing the AI lol
That's quite a Stretch!!
But can they dance?
Please make a robot that works like a service animal. It could save countless lives from catching patients during seizures.
Big Hero #6...
능력의 하양!!
I've lost my job 😢
I worked as a lifeguard, cashier, tutor, artist, and programmer. You CAN learn new skills.
building these robots by the millions will take time.
Tem futuro está empresa 😊 vai fazer o exterminado do futuro 🔮
🤠👍 venho agradecer a você que está na, família R1000. para quem não faz. parte da família venha, ser mas um a ser ajudado pela familia R1000, obrigado à todos, não deixe de comentar no conteúdo que chego más rápido em você tamos juntos.
Ils connaissent les palettes aux USA 🤣
But then someone has to put it back on a pallet and fork lift it into racks
Its a shame they dont show their advanced robots on those excibitions because a lot of people think those are SGI
Is Hyundai forcing these kind of videos? I think y'all should post funny videos to this channel again. They are waayyyy better marketing strategy/PR than these super sterile corporate videos. We just wanna see those awesome robots falling, getting kicked, dancing, helping humans etc.
Nice. Now we just need a plan to implement universal basic income in the future as jobs get replaced.
Do not praise your replacement, smash it.
Politicians believe their job is hard, when will you be replacing all of them with sacks of robot potatoes?
Pourquoi le robot n'amène pas son convoyeur ?😅
Good for uniform, consistent sized boxes, all stacked cleanly (lol) and are within the weight limit. Has it's uses in a production plant, but a hub is going to still going have a bunch of dudes chuck those boxes. I mean, handle the boxes very carefully.
They need an operator to run the robot? Just give a man a forklift and they will make 10x the work in half the time...

Ok, I've seen this thing unload neatly stacked boxes for years now, maybe show a more impressive demo?? 🙄🙄
amazon warehouses about to have some major lay offs lol
*more $AMZN layoffs. "Amazon has cut more than 27,000 since the start of last year."
Billionaires building luxury bunkers is not just a fashion statement. They already know.
finally, make those robot do some real works and make some money first.
more unemployement incomming, the future
The holy grail of the factory owner, zero humans, is now within sight. The only use people will be is if they are given money by the state to be a consumer. Good luck with that.
Goodbye Amazon warehouse jobs
It is still MUCH lower than a good worker
just by now
Gotta love the people crying about job loss in the comments. As if learning new skills is an impossibility and technology hasnt been marching forward since time immemorial.
Dont understand why there is a need to unload shipping container one by one box if you can unload the whole pallet.
Not all shipped boxes are on pallets.
Обычные люди радуются, не понимают, что скоро они будут лишними на этой планете.
cant raise minimum wage, let me pay 10 million bucks to replace workforce
Making people homeless with a smile on their faces lol.
He talked about labour shortages but all I see is a job that no longer exists for a person. Not sure I like the way all this is going if I'm honest.
It's inevitable. Biology is just one step of evolution.
So just chill out and enjoy life 💟🌌☮️
.....guess we should go back to horse and buggy, think of all the people THAT took to run. Cmon, don't be short sighted, technology CREATES jobs in tons of unforseen ways
Welcome to the future. Robots will one day take over 90% of our jobs. (I pulled that statistic from my butt)
It's funny seeing these people facese looking At the tech, that's taking their jobs right in front of their damn facese. lmfao
We stopped caring about the people in the streets, and made machines to replace them... The engineers don't know their work sustains suffering for generations to come....
trumpism brings more suffering
I'm curious. What people in the street are you talking about, and what machines replaced their jobs?
Stretch 2024 n'est pas autonome,il faut quelqu'un pour le mettre dans le container et en plus ,il lui faut un convoyeur.Mais avec un transpalette autonome il pourrait se débrouiller sans humain.Mais encore faut il que les robots puissent couper le scellé et ouvrir les portes du container.Bref v'est beau mais peut mieux faire.En progrès 😉😜🤣
Wait 'til robots form a union demanding higher wages, and go on strike...
Boss : Yeah Bill ?... Uhmm can you come back into work tomorrow ?
🤖🏴🤖🏴🤖🏴 🕋🗯️
Tuk our derbs
WHERE ARE THE ROBOTS????
There goes my job
Good. Less low skilled labour
Таджики и узбеки больше не будут нужны? Мдаа
oh boy even more poor warehouse workers are losing their jobs.
such a great year to be alive
UBI for the masses 😢
the alternative is what we see with companies like amazon where they overwork people for cost savings unfortunately
First comment
nice
Thats another 100 people jobless.
First here. 😊
Im sorry but nobody packs a truck with loose boxes like this. 😂
Job elimination at its finest.
Ive worked in factories and seen equipment far more useful and reliable that probably cost half the price. I don't really see this as that innovative
Workers shortage, is lie which employees tell themselves not to make salaries attractive.
This is one of the most inefficient things I’ve ever seen in my life. Next to those reach-in freezers at grocery stores that are wide open letting all the cold air out.
