The Pudu FlashBot Arm is a semi-humanoid service robot that integrates specialized delivery capability with humanoid manipulation and multi-modal AI interaction. Built on a “centaur” architecture, it pairs a wheeled mobile platform — efficient for indoor travel and long duty cycles — with two liftable 7-degree-of-freedom arms fitted with PUDU DH11 dexterous hands (6 active plus 5 passive degrees of freedom each), giving an arm operating diameter of up to 2 meters. This lets the robot interact with human-oriented infrastructure: pressing elevator buttons, swiping access cards, and operating doors and panels, so it can complete cross-floor delivery missions without extensive building-system integration. Items travel inside an enclosed, dual-door compartment designed to meet safe delivery requirements, protecting goods in transit and releasing them in a controlled way at the destination. Pudu positions the platform as embodied AI — autonomously recognizing environments, understanding tasks, and executing them with precision.

Navigation combines VSLAM with LiDAR SLAM, backed by a high-precision sensor suite of RGBD cameras, LiDAR, panoramic cameras, and pressure-sensitive tactile skin, with compliant force control and immediate stopping on obstacles for safe operation in human-shared spaces. The robot measures 539 × 515 × 1440 mm, carries up to 15 kg (33.07 lb), passes through paths as narrow as 65 cm, and works for 8 hours (no load) on a 4-hour charge, with a 10.1-inch touchscreen plus AI voice, gestures, and expressions for natural public-facing interaction — and multi-robot collaboration to coordinate fleets in crowded venues. Typical deployments include hotels and building logistics, healthcare and clinics, offices and campus facilities, and retail and service venues where internal delivery must traverse lobbies, corridors, elevator banks, and access-controlled areas.
