SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pudu Robotics, a global leader in service robotics sector, has launched its first Full-sized Bipedal Humanoid Robot, the PUDU D9. Developed by the Pudu X-Lab, this innovative robot follows the releases of the semi-humanoid robot PUDU D7 and the dexterous hand PUDU DH11, marking the third product from the team this year.
Standing at 170 cm tall and weighing 65 kg, the PUDU D9 features 42 degrees of freedom across its joints, with a maximum joint torque of 352 Nm. It is equipped with the previously released PUDU DH11 dexterous hand, enabling human-like bipedal walking and dual-hand operational capabilities. In the demonstration video, PUDU D9 showcased its impressive mobility, including upright walking, obstacle navigation, slope climbing, and performing ground cleaning tasks using the PUDU SH1, another product in the PUDU’s lineup.
Aiming for commercially viable embodied intelligence, the PUDU D9 will soon be available for pre-sale, with inquiries currently being accepted through Pudu Robotics’ official website.
The PUDU D9 is designed with a human-centric philosophy, embodying the principle of “Born to Serve.” As a fully anthropomorphic robot, its design closely mirrors human capabilities while striving to provide practical assistance across a diverse range of applications.
Key Capabilities of PUDU D9:
- Dynamic Mobility: The PUDU D9’s bipedal structure enables it to walk at speeds comparable to that of adults, reaching up to 2 m/s on flat surfaces. It can easily navigate stairs, slopes, and other challenging urban terrains. Utilizing advanced algorithms, the robot achieves lightweight gait control, minimizing noise during operation in human environments. Its cutting-edge visual semantic navigation system is equipped with high-accuracy sensors that allow for real-time 3D semantic mapping, providing the D9 with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings. This capability ensures accurate self-positioning and autonomous route planning.
- Precision Manipulation: Equipped with two 7-degree-of-freedom robotic arms, the PUDU D9 boasts a payload capacity exceeding 20 kg. When paired with the PUDU DH11 dexterous hand, it excels in executing delicate tasks across a wide range of applications. Leveraging years of research and development, along with proprietary reinforcement learning algorithms, the PUDU D9 can rapidly learn from extensive datasets, effectively executing end-to-end task planning to meet various operational demands.
- Seamless Natural Interaction: The PUDU D9 features a range of high-precision visual, tactile, force, and auditory sensors that empower it to collect multimodal information from its environment. Through a sophisticated processing framework that integrates advanced AI models, the D9 achieves human-level multimodal natural interactions, significantly enhancing the quality and responsiveness of the services it provides.
With the introduction of the PUDU D9, Pudu Robotics has established a comprehensive product lineup that includes specialized, semi-humanoid, and humanoid robots. Building on this strong foundation, the company aims to achieve commercially viable embodied intelligence and will actively explore innovations in the core capabilities of robot AI, mobility, and operational technology.
As a global leader in commercial service robotics, Pudu Robotics remains committed to prioritizing user needs by leveraging its strong foundation in technology, product development, supply chain management, and market channels. Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, emphasized,” Customer centricity has always been at the core of PUDU’s values. Moving forward, we will continue to explore technology driven by customer needs and pain points. Our extensive experience in the commercial service sector will help accelerate the maturity of semi-humanoid and humanoid robots, allowing more people to enjoy the convenience of robotic services.”
