Stretch RE1 is a novel, low-cost approach to mobile manipulation.
Description:
After three-plus years in stealth mode, Martinez, Calif.-based Hello Robot launched its Stretch RE1 mobile manipulator in July 2020. Designed primarily as a research platform, Stretch weighs less than 55 lb, offers a payload capacity of more than 3.3 lb, 3D perception, a compliant gripper, open-source so ware and much more.
A sleek, carbon-fiber telescoping arm can reach up 43.3 inches high and extends outward 20.5 inches, enabling the robot to grasp items on a variety of surfaces. Stretch RE1 also features torque sensing in all its joints to detect contact, a laser range finder, an onboard computer, and differential two-wheel drive. The robot has various mount points and expansion ports that allow researchers to extend the robot with their own hardware.
