Pudu Robotics Partners with Gom Schoonhouden B.V. at Interclean Amsterdam 2026

In a significant development for the commercial service robotics sector, Pudu Robotics has announced a strategic partnership with Gom Schoonhouden B.V., one of the leading cleaning service providers in the Netherlands. This collaboration, revealed during the Interclean Amsterdam 2026 event, marks the debut of the AI-native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot, PUDU BG1 Series, in Europe. As the market for cleaning automation continues to evolve, this partnership represents a crucial step forward in bringing next-generation cleaning solutions to the continent.

Overview of the Partnership

The partnership, facilitated by Pudu's regional partner, Fulin Robot Technology B.V., aims to integrate state-of-the-art technology into European cleaning operations. The introduction of the BG1 series signifies a commitment to innovation, as Gom Schoonhouden strives to enhance cleaning efficiency and quality through modern robotic solutions. Geoffrey Nouws, Head of Innovation at Gom, emphasized that this initiative is not just about deploying a new machine; it reshapes the very fabric of cleaning operations.

“We are constantly seeking innovations that can improve the quality and efficiency of cleaning large objects. This deployment is a significant step in our continuous improvement strategy.”

Accepting the challenge of transforming cleaning services, Gom demonstrates its leadership in the industry by being the first to adopt the BG1 series in Europe.

The Technology Behind PUDU BG1 Series

The PUDU BG1 is built upon a unique AI-native architecture that seamlessly integrates perception, decision-making, and execution into a cohesive operational cycle. Unlike traditional cleaning robots, which rely on pre-defined routes and schedules, the BG1 is designed to adaptively respond to real-world environments. This results in more efficient and consistent cleaning outcomes.

The capabilities of the BG1 are enhanced by Pudu's proprietary AI Magic Cleaning System, which shifts the cleaning paradigm from a task-oriented process to one that is proactive and results-driven. The system can detect dirt in real-time, deploy adaptive cleaning strategies, and automatically optimize key parameters such as chemical usage and brush pressure. The integration of these features ensures high performance even in complex environments, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention.

Another notable innovation within the BG1 series is its industry-first extendable edge-cleaning mechanism. This feature allows the scrubbing brush to reach flush against walls and shelves, effectively eliminating traditional blind spots often left untreated. Coupled with an integrated sweeping and scrubbing system, the BG1 increases operational efficiency by performing dry pickup and wet mopping simultaneously, thereby minimizing redundant tasks and maximizing productivity.

Impact on the Cleaning Industry

The collaboration between Pudu Robotics, Gom Schoonhouden, and Fulin Robot Technology signifies a broader transition towards AI-native infrastructure in the cleaning sector. Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, highlighted that this partnership validates the direction in which the cleaning industry is heading—it's not just about improving efficiency but fundamentally redefining how work is accomplished.

“With the BG1 series and our AI Magic Cleaning System, we enable machines to go beyond mere execution to genuine comprehension and decision-making. We are excited to work with forward-thinking partners like Gom to implement this new operational paradigm on a large scale.”

The partnership also underscores Pudu's expanding global footprint in the cleaning robot sector. According to a Frost & Sullivan report, Pudu Robotics holds a 23% market share—the highest in the industry—demonstrating its leading position with over 120,000 robots deployed worldwide and a remarkable 100% revenue growth year-on-year in the fiscal year 2025. Notably, the cleaning robotics segment has emerged as a primary driver of Pudu's growth, contributing to over 70% of its total revenue.

Looking Ahead

Together, Pudu Robotics, Gom Schoonhouden B.V., and Fulin Robot Technology B.V. aim to continue exploring scalable and intelligent solutions for commercial cleaning. Their joint efforts will set new standards for efficiency, consistency, and automation amid the increasingly complex operational landscapes in which these robots are utilized.

As the cleaning industry embraces automation and advanced technologies, this partnership is a testament to the exciting future of AI-native solutions that promise to enhance productivity and service quality in a sector that is often defined by repetitive manual tasks. The shift towards intelligent systems capable of continuous optimization and autonomous decision-making is not just a trend; it marks the dawn of a new era in cleaning services worldwide.
