Pudu Robotics Launches BG1 Series: A Game Changer in Cleaning Technology

Pudu Robotics, headquartered in Shenzhen, China, has announced the release of the BG1 series, the world’s pioneering AI-native large floor cleaning robot. This innovation marks a significant leap forward in Pudu’s line of cleaning products, fundamentally redefining the logic behind commercial cleaning robots.

The BG1 series transitions from traditional automation to a true AI-native architecture, providing comprehensive and intelligent floor cleaning for expansive environments such as commercial facilities, warehouses, factories, and transportation hubs. Together with the PUDU CC1 and MT1 series, the BG1 series completes Pudu's cleaning portfolio, enabling the company to offer one-stop, autonomous solutions across ten major global industries.

AI-Native Intelligence: From Passive Execution to Active Decision Making

The core of the BG1 series lies in its AI-native architecture. Unlike traditional cleaning robots that follow preset commands passively, the BG1 series is designed from the ground up to integrate AI across the entire cycle of perception, decision-making, and execution. This intelligence is powered by a high-performance platform, combining dual-chip architecture with AI-enhanced processing units, allowing the robot to break through conventional computational bottlenecks. It can respond in milliseconds based on data streams from environmental recognition, grime assessment, and its advanced 3D recognition system.

AI Magic Cleaning: The Intelligent Operational Brain

Central to the BG1 series is the AI Magic Cleaning system, which transforms the robot from a scheduled tool to an actively operational one. This central intelligence integrates three core functions:

1. AI-Driven Spot Cleaning: Utilizing ultra-wide field of view (FOV) and AI vision, the BG1 series detects and targets dirt in real-time. This ‘see and clean immediately’ approach ensures cleanliness is maintained in high-traffic areas without waiting for scheduled cycles.

2. AI-Driven Automatic Cleaning Solution Dispensing: Equipped with two independent 7L detergent tanks, the BG1 series automatically adjusts the detergent mix according to the type and extent of dirt, eliminating manual errors and significantly reducing long-term consumable costs.

3. AI-Driven Adaptive Mechanism: This system detects wet and dry dirt in real-time. Upon detecting wet messes, the BG1 series instantly retracts its sweeping module to prevent spread, while applying increased brush pressure for stubborn stains, achieving perfect cleaning in a single pass.

Industry First: Extensible Edge Cleaning

For the first time in commercial cleaning, the BG1 series features an extendable scrubbing brush. This adaptive mechanism, integrated with AI, allows the brush to clean snugly along walls and shelves, significantly reducing the need for manual touch-up cleaning in hard-to-reach areas that traditional robots struggle with.

Enhanced Efficiency Through Sweep & Scrub Integration

The BG1 series introduces a combined sweeper-scrubber system, fundamentally enhancing cleaning efficiency. The forward sweeping module collects dry debris like dust and paper, while the rear scrubber module manages dirty water. This capability allows for simultaneous dry and wet cleaning, eliminating unnecessary tasks.

Advanced 3D Recognition for Complex Environments

By integrating 3D VSLAM and LiDAR technologies, the BG1 series provides high-precision mapping and dynamic obstacle avoidance. It maintains stable positioning even in high-ceilinged facilities, dark areas, and environments with high signal interference.

One-Minute Maintenance for Maximum Operational Efficiency

The BG1 series includes an automatic disc brush removal feature, eliminating the need for manual alignment or setup, minimizing downtime. Additionally, designed for tool-free access to main consumables, daily maintenance such as brush or squeegee replacement can be completed in under a minute without requiring technical expertise.

Enhanced Human-Machine Interaction

The BG1 series introduces an innovative retractable ride-on mode, greatly improving deployment efficiency in large facilities. Operators can quickly switch to manual riding for swift transportation, rapid initial mapping, or emergency responses. Safety is ensured through an integrated voice and visual alert system, communicating intentions to pedestrians via dynamic lights and sounds for safe human-robot collaboration in public spaces.

Autonomous Operation 24/7, Year-Round

With an all-in-one work station, the BG1 series achieves complete autonomy through self-cleaning, charging, and water supply and drainage cycles. This closed-loop system allows it to remain on standby 24/7, truly providing an unmanned solution to high-load cleaning needs.

In developing the BG1 series, Pudu Robotics has leveraged years of expertise in AI algorithms, robotic control, and environmental recognition. Further enhanced by millions of hours of operational data from the compact PUDU CC1 series and medium-sized PUDU MT1 series worldwide, the BG1 not only fills the gap in the large cleaning sector but also symbolizes a generational upgrade in the brand's core cleaning technology.
