Under the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the e-commerce industry has developed rapidly, and smart warehousing and smart logistics have also become the focus of the industry. At present, whether it is foreign Amazon or domestic e-commerce giants such as JD.com and Alibaba, warehousing robots have been deployed. The types of warehousing robots are increasing and their functions are becoming more and more powerful.
According to foreign media reports, Boston Dynamics recently announced that its latest robot, Stretch, designed for warehouses and distribution centers, has been opened for commercial procurement. Stretch is a multi-purpose mobile robot with an omnidirectional mobile base that can easily navigate to any activity point. At the same time, it is equipped with a custom-designed industrial robotic arm and a smart gripper that can "pick up" multiple types of boxes and lift items weighing up to 50 pounds.
