Walk into Pudu Robotics’ headquarters showroom in Nanshan, Shenzhen, and the lineup tells the story. Commercial cleaning robots, AI-native tray-carry movers, the class-humanoid PUDU D7, and the full-size biped D9 stand side by side. Different shapes, one shared embodied-intelligence brain, and a complete map of the business-grade robotics market.
A complete product map
Pudu now runs four product lines: service delivery, commercial cleaning, industrial logistics, and general embodied intelligence. That multi-track layout rests on one principle, founder and CEO Zhang Tao says: stay centred on the business customer. Industrial and commercial buyers usually want a whole robotics solution, so the team weighs two things when building new products, reuse of customer relationships and reuse of underlying technology.
The moat is combination, not a single trick
Zhang Tao puts Pudu’s defensive wall in its combination ability. A complete product matrix, self-developed joint modules and navigation-interaction algorithms, a vast pool of scenario data, a global agent network, and a full overseas after-sales system together make up the company’s comprehensive competitiveness. Where peers chase a single robot form, Pudu bets on the stack.
Over 80 per cent of revenue comes from overseas
The export scorecard is striking. More than 80 per cent of revenue comes from outside China. The company has pushed into 85 countries and regions, passed 130,000 cumulative robot shipments, served more than 50,000 end customers, and built a global channel of over 1,000 agents. Products have won broad acceptance in overseas markets.
Backed by Shenzhen and Guangdong’s complete manufacturing ecosystem, Pudu keeps enriching its matrix from real industrial and commercial scenarios while steadily advancing its embodied-intelligence evolution. It has become a representative sample of Chinese robots sailing abroad and breaking through on technology.
