Overview

Handle is a mobile robot that combines the rough-terrain capability of legs with the efficiency of wheels. It is designed for material-handling applications and features a manipulator arm capable of picking up heavy boxes. It has a swinging tail that helps it balance and move dynamically in tight spaces. Handle can autonomously assemble and disassemble pallets and handling boxes in a warehouse with a payload capacity of up to 15 kg.
