The Fetch robot consists of a back-drivable 7 DOF arm with 7 degrees of freedom and a modular end effector on a mobile base. It is designed to detect and select items up to 6 kilograms off of warehouse shelves and has a grasping range from the floor to about 2 meters. With its autonomous navigation and collision free motion planning system this mobile manipulator can also be considered as a robotics research platform in addition to its main logistics applications. Built upon the open-source robot operating system ROS, the system includes software to support both Fetch and Freight robots and integrate with the warehouse environment.
