Pudu Robotics, a global leader in the service robotics sector, has launched its first full-sized humanoid robot – the PUDU D9 model. Developed by the Pudu X-Lab team, this innovative humanoid robot is a continuation of previous premieres of the semi-humanoid robot PUDU D7 and the multifunctional robotic arm PUDU DH11, marking the third product from this team in 2024.
Standing 170 cm tall and weighing 65 kg, the PUDU D9 has a 42-degree range of motion, with a maximum torque of 352 Nm. It is equipped with the previously presented PUDU DH11 robotic arm, allowing for bipedal movement as well as performing tasks with both hands. In demonstration materials, the PUDU D9 showcased impressive mobility, including walking upright, avoiding obstacles, climbing slopes, and performing cleaning tasks using the PUDU SH1, another product from Pudu Robotics.
The PUDU D9 is currently available for pre-order, and customers interested in commercial exploitation of this humanoid robot can obtain more information by contacting through the contact form.
This robot was created under the philosophy of “Born to Serve.” Its fully anthropomorphic design is aimed at closely reflecting human abilities and providing support across a wide range of applications. See what philosophy guided the designers of the new PUDU D9 humanoid robot.
The bipedal design of the PUDU D9 allows it to walk at speeds close to that of an adult human, reaching up to 2 m/s on flat surfaces. The robot easily navigates stairs, slopes, and other challenging urban terrains. Thanks to advanced algorithms, it achieves smooth gait control, minimizing noise in human-inhabited spaces. The modern semantic visual navigation system utilizes precise sensors, enabling real-time three-dimensional mapping of the environment. This provides the robot with accurate positioning and autonomous route planning.
Equipped with two robotic arms, the PUDU D9 has a lifting capacity of over 20 kg. In collaboration with the precise PUDU DH11 robotic hand, it excels at delicate tasks across various applications. With years of research, development of its own machine learning algorithms, and an extensive database, the robot can learn quickly and effectively carry out complex end-to-end task planning, meeting the needs of many industries.
The PUDU D9 utilizes a range of highly precise visual sensors such as cameras and touch, force, and auditory sensors that gather multimodal data from the environment. Then, through advanced processing infrastructure that combines modern artificial intelligence models, it achieves human-level natural interaction. This translates into a higher level of quality and responsiveness in the services provided.
With the introduction of the PUDU D9, Pudu Robotics is creating a comprehensive product line that includes specialized, semi-humanoid, and humanoid robots. Utilizing this product range, the company aims to effectively develop the products offered and actively explore innovations in key areas of robotics: artificial intelligence, mobility capabilities, and operational technology.
As a global leader in service robotics, Pudu Robotics continues to focus on user needs, based on solid technological, product, supply chain management, and extensive market channels. Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, emphasizes:
“Customer orientation has always been at the core of PUDU's values. In the future, we will continue to develop technology in response to the needs and challenges of customers. Our extensive experience in the commercial services sector will accelerate the maturation of semi-humanoid and humanoid robots, allowing more people to benefit from the convenience provided by humanoid robots in everyday life.”
With the introduction of the humanoid robot PUDU D9, the service industry gains a new perspective on the possibilities of robotics applications in various areas. Enhanced by advanced artificial intelligence capabilities, impressive mobility, and the ability for natural interaction, the PUDU D9 is a milestone toward a commercially viable and highly functional future for humanoid robots. This is an opportunity not only to take a technological step forward but to step toward efficiency.
