Current platform

PUDU D9

Pudu Robotics (founded 2016 in Shenzhen; CEO Zhang Tao, also known as Felix Zhang) is a large commercial service-robot maker, with more than 130,000 robots shipped across 85-plus countries including the BellaBot delivery robot and various cleaning robots, that entered the humanoid race through its Pudu X-Lab and PUDU Embodied groups. Its humanoid line comprises the PUDU D9, a full-size bipedal humanoid announced on December 19, 2024 at 170 cm, 65 kg, 42 degrees of freedom, 352 Nm of maximum joint torque, 2 m/s, more than 20 kg of payload, dual 7-degree-of-freedom arms and an 11-degree-of-freedom hand, and the PUDU D7, an industrial semi-humanoid on a wheeled base unveiled on June 1, 2026, built on the PuduFM 1.0 foundation model with about 14 kg of payload, roughly 2 m of reach, dual-arm force control, dual-LiDAR 360-degree perception, and autonomous battery swap. The registry entity here is the humanoid, which sits at research maturity: both the D9 and D7 are vendor-announced with marketing demonstrations and pre-sale or launch language, and no third-party operator or paying-customer field deployment of either is verifiable. Critically, Pudu's genuine commercial scale in service robots does not transfer to its bipedal and semi-humanoid line, so claims of customer deployment, an opened D9 pre-sale, and PuduFM real-world performance are recorded as claimed-but-not-verified.
