Stretch is an autonomous mobile robot for warehouses that we covered here a while back. Thanks to Multipack, Stretch can now pick and place multiple boxes (up to 4 at once). It can move multiple boxes with a single swing for higher productivity. Stretch has a perception system that combines with a gripper to consider different candidate groupings of boxes that can be picked together.
Stretch has a smart software that assesses whether sufficient suction is made with each box to grasp them securely and prevent drops.
