Pudu Robotics has been awarded two industry honors for its PUDU BG1 Series cleaning robot. The system, which launched in March 2026, earned the Robotics Award at the ISSA ASIA AWARDS 2026 in South Korea and the People's Choice Award at the 2026 ISSA Excellence Awards in Australia.
Why it matters
The recognition highlights the market trajectory for autonomous facility maintenance as companies shift toward integrated, AI-native cleaning workflows. The adoption follows Pudu Robotics securing the top global rank for commercial cleaning robot shipments in 2025.
The PUDU BG1 Series utilizes an AI-native architecture designed to integrate environmental perception and decision-making for simultaneous wet and dry cleaning. These capabilities follow the 2025 performance of the PUDU MT1, which also secured both a People's Choice and an Equipment category award.
The players
Pudu Robotics
A Shenzhen-based manufacturer of commercial service robots that led global shipments in the cleaning segment during 2025.
The details
The BG1 Series features an integrated cleaning system that manages dry debris and wet dirt within a single operational workflow. By combining sensor-driven environmental perception with intelligent decision-making, the system automates floor maintenance tasks that previously required separate equipment or manual intervention. This technical approach builds upon the company's existing fleet of 130,000 deployed robots.
Timeline
Pudu Robotics ranked first in global commercial cleaning robot shipments during 2025.
The company launched the PUDU BG1 Series in March 2026.
