Pudu Robotics Targets Small Commercial Spaces with AI-Native ET1 Scrubber

The ET1 is engineered for areas ranging from 100 to 800 square meters, utilizing a front-sweep and rear-scrub architecture to tackle wet and dry debris in one pass. To handle stubborn grime, the robot features a scrubbing roller capable of 800 rpm paired with 20 kPa suction power. It also supports 85°C hot scrubbing, a feature designed to dissolve grease common in high-traffic retail and dining settings. The machine maintains cleanliness through a real-time mop self-cleaning system that prevents secondary contamination across the floor surface.

Operational autonomy is managed by an 8-in-1 docking station that handles water refilling, wastewater drainage, detergent dispensing, and roller maintenance without human intervention. The robot’s AI-native software allows it to recognize floor types and stain intensity, automatically adjusting its speed and water output to suit real-time conditions. With a chassis width allowing passage through 50 cm gaps, the ET1 is built to operate alongside customers during business hours. Beyond sanitation, the unit can be outfitted with a 21.5-inch advertising display, transforming the floor cleaner into a mobile marketing asset for retail brands.
