A New Chapter in Cleaning Automation

On April 18, 2026, at the esteemed Interclean Amsterdam event, Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial service robotics, unveiled a significant strategic alliance with Gom Schoonhouden B.V., one of the Netherlands' premier professional cleaning service providers. This collaboration, facilitated by Pudu's regional partner Fulin Robot Technologie B.V., heralds the introduction of the PUDU BG1 series—the first AI-native cleaning robot to be deployed in Europe.

This partnership highlights a substantial milestone in the adoption of next-generation cleaning automation across the European market. The relationship between Gom Schoonhouden, Pudu Robotics, and Fulin has been fostered over several projects, reflecting a shared commitment to innovation and excellence within the cleaning sector.

Leading the AI Cleaning Revolution

Gom Schoonhouden B.V. is recognized for its operational scale, service quality, and cutting-edge approach to innovation. Their initiative to be the inaugural adopters of the BG1 series in Europe exemplifies their dedication to practical innovation and continuous improvement.

Geoffrey Nouws, Gom's head of innovation, stated, "With this deployment, we are not merely introducing a new machine; we are transforming the way we work. Our relentless pursuit of innovation aims to enhance the quality and efficiency of large-scale cleaning operations. By applying this technology, we can provide our clients with consistent quality and more effective operations in expansive settings. Innovation is valuable only if it leads to improved results for our clients."

Redefining Cleaning Processes with AI Magic

At the heart of the PUDU BG1 series lies a pioneering architecture infused with AI, merging perception, decision-making, and execution into a seamless operational loop. Unlike traditional robots reliant on fixed routes and schedules, the BG1 is designed to dynamically respond to real-world environments, delivering adaptive, efficient, and consistent cleaning outcomes.

Pudu’s exclusive AI Magic Cleaning system enables a proactive, result-oriented cleaning process. Through real-time dirt detection, adaptive cleaning strategies, and automatic optimization of critical parameters—such as chemical use and brush pressure—the BG1 ensures high performance in complex, large-scale environments while minimizing manual intervention.

Notably, the BG1 is equipped with an extendable edge cleaning mechanism, a first in the industry, allowing the cleaning brush to reach walls and shelves and effectively address traditionally neglected corners. Its integrated sweeping and cleaning system further elevates efficiency by combining dry debris collection and wet cleaning in a single pass, thereby reducing redundant operations and maximizing productivity.

A Vision for the Future

"This partnership represents a solid endorsement of the direction the cleaning industry is taking," said Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics. "AI-native robotics aims not just to enhance efficiency but to fundamentally redefine how work is performed. With the BG1 series and our AI Magic Cleaning system, we empower machines to transcend mere task execution to achieve genuine understanding and decision-making capabilities. We are excited to collaborate with innovative partners like Gom to introduce this new operational paradigm in large-scale real-world environments."

A Growing Leader in Global Robotics

This collaboration also underscores Pudu Robotics' rapid growth trajectory in the global cleaning robotics sector. According to Frost & Sullivan's 'Market Research on Global Commercial Service Robotics (2023),' Pudu Robotics is acknowledged as the industry leader, holding a remarkable 23% market share—the highest in the sector. This leadership is validated by Pudu's massive operational scale, having shipped over 120,000 robots worldwide, along with a spectacular 100% year-on-year revenue growth in 2025. Cleaning robotics has now become the primary growth driver of the company, accounting for over 70% of its total revenue.

Among its flagship products, the PUDU CC1 has exceeded cumulative global deliveries of 20,000 units, with 60% deployed in Europe and North America—markets known for their stringent reliability, compliance, and service standards.

Establishing New Industry Standards

Through this collaboration, Pudu Robotics, Gom Schoonhouden B.V., and Fulin Robot Technologie B.V. will continue to explore scalable and intelligent solutions for commercial cleaning, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, consistency, and automation in complex operational environments. As the sector evolves, this partnership signals a wider transition towards AI-native infrastructure—where cleaning is defined not by repetitive tasks, but by intelligent systems capable of continuous optimization and autonomous decision-making.
