Stretch detects, grasps, and places boxes autonomously, working with boxes of varying sizes and types, from standard brown to highly graphical. Stretch works with minimal human intervention, even automatically recovering boxes that may fall during the unloading process.

In a single swing of the arm, Stretch's multipick functionality moves multiple boxes to the conveyor belt, adding up to significantly higher productivity. With intelligent placement, the robot releases the boxes one by one and spaces them apart, in a way that aligns with the rest of a warehouse's sortation system.

Stretch goes where you need it to, moving from point to point of activity. When Stretch finishes unloading one trailer, drive it to another dock door or deploy it elsewhere across your network.
