Pudu Robotics Introduces Self-Cleaning Docking Station

On September 23, 2025, Pudu Robotics, a renowned leader in service robotics, made a significant announcement with the launch of their Self-Cleaning Docking Station, an innovative addition to the existing PUDU CC1 Series. This new docking station is designed to automate the cleaning cycle for PUDU CC1 robots, ensuring that key cleaning components remain in optimal condition while dramatically lowering routine maintenance requirements.

Enhancing the Cleaning Experience

The new Self-Cleaning Docking Station introduces an advanced cleaning solution, expanding Pudu's range of cleaning technologies, which already includes a regular Docking Station facilitating automated refilling, drainage, and charging, alongside the Mobile Water Station designed for flexible deployment in locations lacking direct plumbing access. Together, these systems provide comprehensive tools for facilities seeking consistent, unattended cleaning.

Key Features of the Self-Cleaning Docking Station

1. Squeegee Deep Cleaning Technology: The docking station features a built-in 100W ultrasonic module aided by a 65℃ / 149°F hot water system to thoroughly clean the CC1's squeegee. This ensures the removal of dirt and residue, preventing streaks and secondary contamination.
2. Automated Roller Brush Cleaning: After each cleaning task, the PUDU CC1 docks for automatic roller brush cleaning, effectively eliminating over 95% of debris. This prevents tangles and extends the brush's lifespan significantly.
3. Smart Stain Detection and Response: With the onboard stain detection capabilities of the CC1 Pro, the system creates a seamless workflow that detects stains, docks, executes self-cleaning, and resumes operation, minimizing contamination spread and enhancing cleaning standards.
4. 35x Maintenance Efficiency Improvement: The Self-Cleaning Docking Station automates the daily cleaning of the squeegee and roller brush, achieving maintenance tasks that previously took minutes down to just a simple water tank rinse once a week.
5. Three Configurations in One System: The modular design of the station allows users to swap between three configurations—Standard Docking Station, Self-Cleaning Docking Station, or Pro version. This flexibility guarantees compatibility across various operational scales, from small stores to expansive facilities.
6. Modular Design for Easy Care: With quick-release components, the roller brush cleaner, squeegee, and water tank enable efficient tool-free maintenance, manageable by a single operator.

Aside from these groundbreaking features, the new station retains all functionalities from the previous Docking Station, including automatic refilling, drainage, detergent dosing, and charging. It is also fully compatible with the Mobile Water Station for locations without direct water connections.

Setting New Benchmarks for Autonomous Cleaning

Felix Zhang, the Founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, stated, "The Self-Cleaning Docking Station makes it more straightforward than ever for businesses to sustain consistent cleaning performance. By allowing robots to care for themselves, we achieve genuine hands-free, unattended operations that greatly enhance efficiency and establish new benchmarks for what autonomous cleaning can offer."

Experience the Innovation at CMS Berlin 2025

The Self-Cleaning Docking Station will make its official debut at the CMS Berlin 2025, scheduled from September 23–26 at Messe Berlin, Germany. Attendees are encouraged to visit Hall 2.2, Stand 218 to witness this pioneering technology in action.
