Mobile robot with arms on Unipos website (mobile manipulator for research) Stretch Research Edition (Stretch RE)Page has been updated.

The Stretch Research Edition (Stretch RE) is a capable mobile robot with arms, ideal for manipulator research in start-ups, businesses, and universities.

An autonomous mobile robot equipped with a 3D camera, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with 9 degrees of freedom, LiDAR, and an in-vehicle computer is equipped with a thin telescopic arm gripper that replaces the human arm.Designed to work with people at home and at work, you can remotely pick up toys, remove laundry from the dryer, play games with your kids, and much more.

About hello robot
It was founded by former Google employee Aaron Edsinger and Professor Charlie Kemp of Georgia Institute of Technology.We are working on the development of mobile manipulators to make it easier for the elderly, people with disabilities, and caregivers to live a richer life by utilizing robots.

 

Stretch Research Edition (Stretch RE)

・ All software is open source ... Click here for details (Manufacturer page)

 

Course contents

・ Stretch RE1 (main body)
・ Compliant gripper *
・ Battery charger
・ Teleoperation controller

* A gripper with a spring and rubber suction cup that is excellent for grasping objects that act as fingertips.Since it can come into contact with the object with high frictional force, even small tablets can be grasped.A ROS interface and URDF model for grippers are available.
