PUDU Robotics

PUDU is a Shenzhen service-robot company founded in 2016, with a large international delivery and cleaning business. Its humanoid portfolio includes two D9 generations, two distinct D7 generations and FlashBot Arm. Overseas subsidiaries and paid Care packages offer support routes, while exact humanoid eligibility, developer access and safety documentation still depend on the purchased configuration.

Commercial Context

Netherlands subsidiary and a broad service-robot network are documented. PUDU Care expressly limits product and country compatibility. D7 European demonstrations and established cleaning/delivery exports do not prove exact humanoid repair coverage, parts stock or signed EU declarations.

Product Focus

Commercial cleaning and service delivery, Industrial AMRs, Original D7 2024 semi-humanoid, Industrial D7 2026 semi-humanoid, D9 2024 and 2026 biped generations, FlashBot Arm service semi-humanoid, DH11 hand component; D1/D5 quadrupeds outside humanoid inventory

Export Markets

85+countries/regions claimed for whole commercial-robot portfolio, Europe: Netherlands subsidiary and September 2026 D7 IFA demonstration, US, Japan, Korea, Singapore: overseas subsidiaries/support channels; exact humanoid stock unverified

EU Support and Service

EU officesWritten company list includes the Netherlands; event organiser lists Pudu Robotics Europe B.V., Savannahweg 59, Utrecht. The company map instead labels Germany. Current robot-service address, parts inventory and exact humanoid scope need confirmation.
Service regionsChina, Europe via subsidiary/channel arrangements, US/Canada, Japan and other overseas support contacts
DistributorsInternational service-robot distributor network; exact named humanoid appointment and stock not established
IntegratorsRobot building/fleet integration offered through manufacturer/channel; no named exact humanoid factory-integrator SLA verified
Support languagesEnglish and Chinese product/developer documentation, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean regional marketing; exact humanoid operating/training-language entitlement unknown
Spare partsCare packages offer spare parts and selected onsite repair, subject to model/country eligibility. No exact humanoid EU stock list or contracted replacement turnaround verified.
WarrantyExact humanoid warranty duration, battery/hand exclusions, return freight and response commitments unverified. PUDU Care does not cover all products or countries; SH1 online-store terms are not transferred.
TrainingAvailable

Repair tracking, Pudu Academy, deployment/training and maintenance are advertised. Online support 09:00–20:30 Beijing time daily is a contact window, not a guaranteed European engineer response.

Risk and Due Diligence

Risk levelUnknown
CybersecurityCloud/private-cloud API and model-specific Android SDK exist. SDK development enables network debugging and depends on privileged robot services; production access controls and update/rollback commitments need exact configuration review. No independent humanoid security audit established.
Data hostingApril 2025 policy covers PUDU Link/merchant platforms, device/location and operational information; processing may occur outside residence, PRC-collected personal data China-stored. Customer-controlled private deployment is described, but exact humanoid model/AI feature data flows and European hosting/offline entitlement unverified.
Export controlsNeeds verification
Supply chainMore than 130,000 shipments and 1,000 service points describe the complete service-robot business. New D7/D9 hardware, hand variants and battery systems require exact BOM, spares and warranty confirmation. Original-generation specifications do not establish current hardware performance.

Editorial assessment: established commercial service infrastructure improves access to evaluation and support discussions. Public humanoid product disclaimers, absence of exact conformity/repair packages and limited independent task evidence prevent an unqualified factory-readiness rating.

Funding and IPO Status

April 23, 2026 primary announces nearly CNY 1 billion financing at more than CNY 10 billion valuation, co-led by Longgang Financial and AIC with BAIC, Lens and others. English describes the same round as nearly USD 150 million at more than USD 1.5 billion valuation, with cumulative funding above USD 300 million; Chinese cumulative funding exceeds CNY 2 billion. Alternate currency accounts are not additional rounds.
