China's latest humanoid robot is fully prepared to provide exceptional service.
The next generation of robots is humanoid.
Pudu Robotics has unveiled its latest innovation, the D9 humanoid robot, intended to transform the way we work and engage with machines.
This 5.57 feet tall bipedal machine is not just another robot; it's a versatile assistant capable of handling diverse tasks in different environments.
Capabilities and features of the humanoid robot
The D9 robot is unique due to its capability to walk upright and carry loads of up to 44 pounds, making it suitable for real-world tasks. What distinguishes it from previous models?
The D9 is an advanced robot that can walk at speeds of up to 4.5 mph, surpassing the average human stroll. Besides its impressive speed, this robot is also capable of navigating stairs, slopes, and maintaining balance when knocked off-balance.
The D9, equipped with high-accuracy sensors, generates real-time 3D semantic maps of its surroundings, enabling autonomous route planning and precise self-positioning.
The D9 has a wide range of uses, including ground cleaning with the Pudu SH1, transporting boxes in warehouses, and stocking shelves in stores.
The D9 is capable of human-like interactions through its advanced AI processing systems.
The evolution of Pudu robotics
The D9 is not Pudu's first foray into robotics. In September, they launched the D7, a semi-humanoid robot on wheels designed for tasks such as sorting components, serving in restaurants, and operating elevators. The D9 builds on this foundation, expanding the range of possible applications.
Competitive landscape
Pudu Robotics enters the competitive field of robotics with the D9, priced at an estimated $20,000 to $30,000, similar to Tesla's Optimus.
