About Pudu D9
Pudu D9 marks the company's expansion from wheeled service robots into humanoid platforms. Standing approximately 170 cm tall with full bipedal locomotion, D9 features higher dexterity and nearly triple the joint torque of budget competitors like Unitree G1. Pudu Robotics' decade of experience in restaurants, hotels, and healthcare informs D9's design for reliable autonomous operation. The robot integrates Pudu's proven navigation stack, obstacle avoidance, and fleet management software. Target applications include warehousing, retail, and delivery where mobility in human-designed spaces provides competitive advantage over wheeled robots. Pre-sales commenced late 2024.
