Industrial Applications
The original D9 is a 1700 mm / 65 kg biped with 42 independent DOF and 352 Nm peak joint torque. Its laboratory payload is 10 kg per arm / 20 kg combined. The January 2025 datasheet excludes navigation from the then-current sales version. This is distinct from the 58 kg April 2026 generation.
This editorial assessment concerns industrial buyer readiness. It is not an independent performance test.

Manipulation and Perception
Laboratory maximum 10 kg per arm / 20 kg combined, with no duty-rated load-at-reach envelope. Manufacturer gives 42 independent DOF, seven per arm and six per leg. Each DH11 hand has 11 DOF (six active, five passive), mass 500 g, 12 tactile zones and 1,018 pixels. Its 40 kg single-hand lifting and 30 N finger grip figures are component claims, not robot payload. Arm length 580 mm plus 220 mm hand; leg segments 325 / 383 mm. December 2024 release said more than 20 kg without the later test definition; January datasheet’s explicit 10/20 kg laboratory limits govern the qualified values here.
Original 275 TOPS, RGB/RGBD, tactile sensors and IMU. Bilingual datasheet labels head RGBD and two fisheyes, rear RGBD/fisheye and waist RGBD. January and April 2025 brochures explicitly exclude navigation from the then-current sales version. Promotional navigation does not prove entitlement on every original unit. Original maximum 2 m/s is stated for flat surfaces, not every terrain.
SDK and Integration
PUDU offers public/private cloud fleet APIs and model-specific Android PdCoreSDK packages. Rendered SDK articles cover navigation, status and BellaPro peripherals using Kotlin and Android minSdk 26. AAR, demo and API reference packages come from sales. They do not establish this exact humanoid’s low-level arm/hand access, ROS, simulator, firmware compatibility or an open-source licence.
| API type | Exact humanoid SDK/API package and licence require manufacturer confirmation |
|---|---|
| Languages | Needs verification |
| ROS support | No exact-model ROS distribution or maintained bridge verified |
| Simulation | No public exact-model simulator/URDF/controller licence inspected |

| Software updates | Exact firmware compatibility, signed updates, rollback and maintenance lifetime unverified. |
| Documentation | Open documentation |
| Integration constraints | General delivery/navigation APIs and advertised SDKs do not prove purchased full-body or hand-control access. Match model, firmware and package; validate integration and acceptance criteria for the intended site. |
Safety Notes
Perception, compliant control and immediate-stop marketing do not establish safety-rated collaborative operation. No exact-generation signed EU declaration, protective-stop performance or validated payload envelope inspected. Use a controlled evaluation area and validated loading, traffic, stop/recovery and charging procedures.
Compliance and Certificates

Original D9 December 2024 launch ↗
PUDU Robotics via PR Newswire · Published Dec 19, 2024 · Accessed Nov 2, 2026
Primary December 19 launch identifies original 1700 mm / 65 kg / 42 DOF / 352 Nm D9 and DH11 hands. Walking, slope/obstacle and SH1-cleaning video is manufacturer demonstration, not paid production uptime. Sales navigation limitations in January/April datasheets remain explicit. Original headline more than 20 kg is not a new rated per-arm limit; January datasheet explicitly gives 10 kg per arm / 20 kg combined in laboratory testing. Maximum 2 m/s is on flat surfaces.
