Deployment
Stretch at North America
Stretch is Boston Dynamics' commercial warehouse robot: a vacuum-gripper arm mounted on an omnidirectional wheeled base, designed for truck and container unloading and case handling at roughly 800 boxes per hour (cases up to 50 lb). It has been available for commercial purchase since 2023 and is recorded at commercial maturity, with verified customers including DHL Supply Chain (a $15 million pre-order and the first commercial deployment), Performance Team (a Maersk company), Gap, H&M, NFI ($10 million), and Otto Group (20-plus facilities). It is distinct from Boston Dynamics' Spot quadruped and Atlas humanoid (see boston-dynamics-atlas), sharing only the manufacturer.
