Pudu expands beyond service robots into semi-humanoids and quadrupeds October 16, 2026 by Sam Francis Pudu Robotics , best known for the delivery and cleaning robots increasingly found in restaurants, hotels and other commercial environments, is expanding its technology portfolio into semi-humanoid robots and quadrupeds as it looks beyond its established service robotics business.

The company demonstrated the direction of that expansion at IFA 2026 in Berlin in early September, where it exhibited a range of robots spanning commercial cleaning, industrial manipulation and four-legged mobility. Among them was the D7, an industrial semi-humanoid (a robot built in roughly human shape) robot that made its European debut at the event, alongside the D5-W quadruped robot and the CC1 Pro autonomous cleaning robot.

The diversification represents a significant broadening of Pudu’s product range. Frost & Sullivan ranked Pudu as the world’s largest commercial service robot company by both revenue and shipments in 2025.
