Pudu Robotics

普渡机器人Advanced

A Shenzhen commercial service-robot company with high shipment volumes in restaurant delivery and cleaning robots.

Pudu Robotics (Shenzhen Pudu Technology Co., Ltd.) was founded in Shenzhen in January 2016. Founder Tao Zhang studied mechanical and electronic engineering as an undergraduate, did graduate research in software algorithms at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and had also co-founded the tech media outlet Leiphone. The company started with restaurant food-delivery robots and now has four product lines — service delivery, commercial cleaning, industrial delivery, and general-purpose embodied AI — using a “one brain, multiple forms” architecture to build specialized, semi-humanoid, and humanoid robots such as the PUDU D9. Its website states cumulative global shipments of more than 130,000 units across 85-plus countries and regions; industrial-delivery revenue reportedly doubled year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026. In June 2026 it reportedly began preparing for a Hong Kong IPO.

ExampleThe delivery robots carrying dishes to tables in many hot-pot restaurants are Pudu products.
