Back in March of last year, Boston Dynamics unveiled its second commercial robot, Stretch. The system, built from its impressive box-moving Handle concept, is designed to bring the company’s advanced robotics technologies into a warehouse/logistics setting — easily one of the hottest categories in robotics these days.

Today the Hyundai-owned firm announced its first commercial customer — and it’s a big one. Logistics giant DHL has committed to a multi-year, $15 million deal (or “investment” as the parties are referring to it) set to bring the robot to its North American facilities. Specific details on the number of robots being purchased haven’t been revealed, but Boston Dynamics says it’s going to be bringing a “fleet” of the robots to DHL logistics centers over the next three years.

Stretch will get to work unloading trucks to start — a feature its creators have highlighted as a key part of its initial rollout. Additional tasks will be added over the course of the roll out in an effort to further automate the package-handling process.
