Pudu D9

Canonical robot record

Overview

The PUDU D9 is Pudu Robotics' first full-sized bipedal humanoid robot, unveiled in December 2024. Designed with adult-like body proportions, it targets object manipulation and customer-engagement scenarios and represents the company's push into embodied intelligence alongside its established delivery and cleaning robot lines.

The robot combines human-like bipedal locomotion with dual dexterous hands, allowing it to walk on flat ground, handle slopes and stairs, and perform manipulation tasks. Pudu draws on its three core technology pillars—mobility, manipulation, and artificial intelligence—to position the D9 as a platform for real-world service work.

At launch the D9 was presented as moving toward commercial availability rather than as a shipping product, with the company accepting inquiries and signalling a forthcoming pre-sale. Some demonstrated capabilities are noted by the maker as not yet available to customers, and the product is described as undergoing continuous iteration.
