PUDU BG1 AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot

A large floor does not wait for a convenient moment to get dirty. A spill appears at shift change, grit gathers along the shelving, and the crew is somewhere else. The PUDU BG1 AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot is built for those moments: it cleans on its own, pulls its modules back from liquid, and hands control to a person when a person is needed.

Background

Pudu and the BG1 lineage

PUDU ROBOTICS builds service robots, and cleaning is one of its main product lines. The BG1 series joins the PUDU CC1 series and the PUDU MT1 series in that cleaning portfolio. With it, Pudu aims to deliver a one-stop, full-scenario autonomous solution across ten core industries worldwide.

Within the family, the BG1 is the large-format machine. Buyers who look at smaller footprints can compare it with the PUDU CC1 Intelligent Commercial Cleaning Robot or the PUDU ET1 AI-Native Compact Scrubber-Dryer Robot. The BG1 is the one to consider when the floor is wide and open and the work is continuous.

Positioning and key technology

The BG1 is a scrubber-dryer robot: it applies water, scrubs, and collects the dirty water in one pass. It finds its way with Lidar plus 3D VSLAM fusion positioning, which combines laser ranging with camera-based mapping. Its large clean water tank and waste water tank are meant for long missions. An all-in-one station automates refilling, drainage, and charging, which supports 24/7 mission-readiness.

Three design choices set the machine apart. The scrubbing brush can extend toward walls and shelving. The sweeping modules retract when the robot detects a wet spill. And a ride-on mode lets a person take manual control right away. We take each of these up below.

Technical Specifications

What makes the PUDU BG1 different from a conventional large scrubber?

A conventional ride-on or walk-behind scrubber depends on an operator for every pass. The BG1 reverses that arrangement. It runs its routes autonomously, and the person steps in only when needed. When that happens, the ride-on mode gives instant manual control, so the same machine serves the planned route and the unplanned job.

The edges are the second difference. Most robotic scrubbers clean the open middle well and leave a strip along the walls for someone to finish by hand. On the BG1, the scrubbing brush can physically extend to reach walls and shelving edges. It removes dust and dirt along those edges, improves coverage, and minimizes manual touch-ups.

The third difference is how it treats liquid. Upon detecting wet spills, the BG1 instantly retracts its sweeping modules to prevent secondary spreading. A machine that drives through a puddle with its sweeping gear down spreads the mess. This one is designed not to.

Finally, there is the daily routine around the machine. An automatic disc-brush attachment and a snap-on design for all critical consumables bring routine maintenance to under 1 minute. The all-in-one station handles refilling, drainage, and charging, so staff are not tied to those chores.

What does the PUDU BG1 Pro add?

The fact sheet shows one published difference between the two versions: cruise speed. The PUDU BG1 cruises at 0.2 ~ 1.0 m/s (0.66 ~ 3.28 ft/s), while the PUDU BG1 Pro cruises at 0.2~1.2 m/s (0.66~ 3.94 fts). On a very large floor, a higher top speed can matter. Other figures for the Pro are confirmed at quotation. You can read more on the PUDU BG1 Pro AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot page.

Who is the PUDU BG1 for?

The BG1 suits operators with large, open indoor floors that need frequent, consistent cleaning. Typical examples are warehouses and logistics halls, retail and shopping centers, airports and transport hubs, exhibition halls, and manufacturing sites. Facilities managers value a machine that keeps a schedule without constant supervision. Cleaning contractors value one that carries a lot of water and can be refilled without a person walking to a tap.

Sites with long shelving runs and wall lines gain from the extendable brush. Sites that already employ a driver, or want the option, gain from the ride-on mode. Buyers who need a higher cruise speed should look at the Pro version. Those with smaller or tighter spaces may find the CC1 or ET1 families a better fit, and the Cleaning Robots category shows the wider range.

What is the PUDU BG1 used for?

1. Autonomous floor scrubbing. Large halls and concourses are scrubbed and dried by a machine that navigates with Lidar and 3D VSLAM.
2. Edge and shelf-line cleaning. The extendable brush reaches walls and shelving edges, so fewer manual touch-ups are needed.
3. Spill response. Wet spills are detected and the sweeping modules retract to avoid spreading them.
4. Round-the-clock programs. The all-in-one station refills, drains, and charges the machine for continuous readiness.
5. Manual cleaning on demand. The ride-on mode gives a person instant control for urgent or irregular jobs.
6. Unattended operation. With the optional workstation, cleaning missions can run without staff on the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How large are the water tanks?

The clean water tank holds 75 L and the waste water tank holds 60 L.

How wide is the cleaning path?

The cleaning width is 550 mm, or 708 mm with side brushes (21.65 in / 27.87 in with side brushes).

How does the robot navigate?

It uses Lidar + 3D VSLAM Fusion Positioning. It supports 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, with E-gate and elevator communication as an option.

Can it run without anyone present?

Yes. Unattended operation is supported, but it requires the optional workstation.

Can a person drive it?

Yes. The ride-on mode gives instant manual control when you need it.

How long does routine maintenance take?

Routine maintenance can be completed in under 1 minute, thanks to the automatic disc-brush attachment and snap-on consumables.

Summary

The floor will not pause for a convenient moment, and the PUDU BG1 is designed with that in mind. It cleans autonomously, reaches the edges that robots often skip, backs away from spills, and lets a person take over when needed. A 75 L clean water tank, a 60 L waste water tank, and an all-in-one station support long, continuous missions. For specifications, the Pro version, or a quotation, this page is the starting point.
