Shenzhen-based PUDU Robotics showed all six of its robot product lines together for the first time on November 4 at its European Partner Summit in Amsterdam, Interesting Engineering reported. CEO Felix Zhang said the same AI will run across all its robots.

The headliner was the D7, a semi-humanoid that rolls on an omnidirectional wheeled base and handles objects with two arms. PUDU's product page lists it at 1.75 m and 140 kg, with a peak payload of 10 kg (22 lb) per arm and at least four hours per charge on hot-swappable batteries; Interesting Engineering reported 1.65 m and more than eight hours, which doesn't match PUDU's current spec page. PUDU also showed its D5 and D5-W robot dogs, which use an Nvidia Jetson AGX Orin and carry 20 to 30 kg, and its BellaBot Pro delivery robot.

Why it matters

The D7 isn't new: PUDU first showed it in September 2024. Zhang said new FCC rules on Chinese robotics products cover only new products, so PUDU's existing robots can still be sold in the US.
