Behold: Handle, a highly manoeuvrable logistics robot from Boston Dynamics for pallet building, conveyor loading, killing all humans and so forth. To wit:
When Handle places a boxes onto a pallet, it uses force control to nestle each box up against its neighbours. The boxes used in the video weigh about 5kg, but the robot is designed to handle boxes up to 15kg. This version of Handle works with pallets that are 1.2 m deep and 1.7 m tall.
