Pudu Robotics recently secured two international industry awards for its PUDU BG1 Series, a cleaning robot launched in March 2026. The robot, designed for industrial and retail environments, saw pre-orders exceed RMB 100 million within its first month of availability.
Why it matters
As Pudu Robotics maintains its top-ranked position in the global commercial cleaning robot market, the reception of the BG1 Series signals an accelerating industry shift toward AI-native systems capable of multi-surface debris management in large-scale facilities.
The PUDU BG1 Series utilizes an AI-native architecture that integrates environmental perception with real-time decision-making to handle both dry debris and wet dirt. This combined capability serves to optimize workflow efficiency in retail and warehouse settings compared to traditional, single-function cleaning machines.
The players
Pudu Robotics
A Shenzhen-based developer of autonomous service robots that leads the global market in commercial cleaning robot shipments and revenue.
The details
The BG1 Series leverages an onboard sensor suite to map environments and adjust cleaning paths dynamically. By integrating dry sweeping and wet scrubbing into a single workflow, the system aims to reduce the manual intervention typically required by commercial cleaning equipment. This design addresses common pain points in high-traffic industrial environments where liquid spills and solid waste often require separate maintenance tasks.
Timeline
2025: Pudu Robotics ranked first globally in commercial cleaning robot shipments.
March 2026: Pudu Robotics officially launched the PUDU BG1 Series.
October 2026: The PUDU BG1 Series received industry awards in South Korea and Australia.
The Tech Race
The recent awards for the BG1 Series underscore Pudu Robotics' attempt to solidify its lead following its number one global ranking in 2025. This expansion into industrial-grade, multi-function cleaning hardware represents a strategic challenge to established, less-automated commercial cleaning equipment suppliers.
Facility managers in industrial and retail sectors can expect to incorporate the BG1 Series into their workflows as it moves into global markets following its March 2026 launch. The robot's primary benefit is the consolidation of wet and dry cleaning processes into a single autonomous unit.
The takeaway
The PUDU BG1 Series establishes a new benchmark for integrated cleaning capability that facility operators should monitor as it scales internationally. Watch for performance data in upcoming pilot deployments to see if the robot's pre-order demand translates to measurable efficiency gains in high-traffic warehouses.
