PUDU D7 is Pudu Robotics' first general-purpose semi-humanoid, unveiled in September 2024 (prnewswire.com). The 165 cm / 45 kg platform combines a wheeled omnidirectional base with bionic arms reaching 65 cm and offering 30 DoF (50 with the dexterous hand attachment).
It walks at 2 m/s, maintains stability up to 10° slopes, lifts 10 kg per arm with 0.1 mm end-point precision and runs over 8 hours on a 1 kWh+ battery. The hierarchical embodied-AI stack mixes strategic LLM reasoning with reactive sensory control for elevator operation, sorting and item transport. Targeted at hospitality, retail and healthcare.
