Spot

Boston Dynamics

A four-legged mobile inspection platform that carries sensors through industrial sites. Spot can repeat inspection routes, collect thermal and visual observations, and help teams monitor equipment. Its practical value comes from consistent data collection and access to difficult working environments.

Stretch

Boston Dynamics

A mobile box-handling robot built for warehouses and distribution centres. Stretch automates repetitive trailer and container unloading, using perception and a gripping arm to move cases. Published customer examples show how the robot fits into existing inbound logistics operations today.

Market evidence and availability

Spot

US-based manufacturer. Documented operations include National Grid in Massachusetts and Otto Group facilities in Europe. These examples establish deployments, not availability in every country.

Commercial product with a direct sales route and published customer deployments. Inspection payloads, software and integration are selected for the site; contact the vendor for local supply and support.

Stretch

US-based manufacturer. Published deployments include Gap in Gallatin, Tennessee and Hermes Fulfilment in Haldensleben, Germany. Local installation and support must be agreed with sales.

Commercial warehouse solution offered through Boston Dynamics sales. Published customers include Gap, Arvato and Otto Group. Deployment requires an assessment of boxes, unloading workflow and downstream equipment.

Questions for a supplier conversation

  • Which sensors and analytics are included, and what needs additional integration?
  • Can the inspection route, stairs and environmental conditions be demonstrated?
  • How are observations reviewed, and who decides on maintenance action?
  • What loads, rack interfaces, routes and floor conditions have been validated?
  • How will the robot integrate with the warehouse system and existing traffic?
  • Who handles blocked routes, damaged goods, charging and system outages?

Ask for evidence for the exact model and installation proposed. A company-wide deployment claim is not necessarily evidence for every product. Separate the manufacturer’s location from the local integrator and service provider who will support your site.
