The four-legged PUDU D5-W and the cleaning robot PUDU CC1 Pro were also shown at the stand. The company described the exhibition program in a release dated September 7, 2026.
What did the robots demonstrate?
According to the manufacturer, D7 interacted with visitors by taking photos with them, making a heart-shaped gesture, and picking up objects when requested. Pudu Robotics presents this platform as an evolution in the direction of semi-humanoid robots for physical tasks.
Demonstrations of the D5-W focused on mobility, with the robot navigating stairs, gravel, and sandy surfaces. Among the possible applications of the platform, the company named cargo transportation and patrolling of complex industrial sites.
CC1 Pro represented Pudu Robotics' cleaning business. In the description of the exhibition, the manufacturer noted the combination of several methods of cleaning the floor and the recognition of the need for cleaning.
