Boston Dynamics · Humanoid · 2017
Handle (2017) was Boston Dynamics' wheeled-legged robot — a tall, dynamic machine combining legs with wheels for fast, efficient movement, plus an arm with a vacuum gripper for box handling in warehouses. It could move at ~9 mph, handle 15kg boxes and perform athletic feats like jumps, bridging Boston Dynamics' legged research toward the logistics robot Stretch.
