Published reviewatyshka (Stretch Forum) · research lab: AI/VLM workloads and VR teleoperation

Calls Stretch a joy to work with and a winning combination of solid, simple hardware with extensible open-source software, but wants an onboard GPU instead of the NUC to avoid offloading AI over Wi-Fi, USB3 on all cameras for VR bandwidth, and a proper power button.

  • Reliable, simple hardware
  • Extensible open-source software stack
  • No onboard GPU; AI workloads depend on Wi-Fi offload
  • Only the head camera is on USB3, limiting teleop bandwidth
  • Lacks a basic power button

Published reviewsnoato (Stretch Forum) · new Stretch 3 owner testing the Python API

Reports the arm getting stuck in trajectory mode and base translation being imprecise and noisy, with a stepper-type mismatch on the left wheel and inverted controls in the FUNMAP demo; Hello Robot support walked through firmware and USB-rule fixes and said trajectory-mode robustness was being improved.

  • Position mode, joystick control and visual servoing worked out of the box
  • Fast, systematic vendor support in the thread
  • Trajectory mode unreliable (arm stuck)
  • Base translation imprecise with loud motor noise
  • Firmware/config mismatch required manual fixes
