Description

The PUDU BG1 Series is an AI-native scrubber-dryer robot built for major facilities and industrial environments — warehouses, distribution centers, factories, and large retail or transit spaces. It combines sweeping and deep scrubbing into a single pass using a dual-chip, 3D-vision computing engine, and features an industry-first expandable disc brush that physically reaches wall and shelving edges most robots have to skip. Designed for continuous, high-output cleaning, BG1 Series pairs with an all-in-one workstation to refill, drain, and charge itself for round-the-clock operation.

What Does the PUDU BG1 Series Do?

BG1 Series merges two cleaning steps most commercial robots handle separately — sweeping and wet scrubbing — into a single "sweeper-scrubber" pass. Core capabilities:

• One-pass sweep & scrub — sweeps loose debris and deep-scrubs wet floors in the same run, using smart detergent dosing and adjustable down-pressure
• Extendable edge cleaning — the scrubbing brush physically extends to reach walls and shelving edges
• AI Magic Cleaning — adapts cleaning behavior in real time based on what it detects on the floor
• 3D perception — 3D sensing plus AI computing for stable mapping in difficult conditions (high ceilings, nighttime, sensor-interference zones)
• Optional add-ons — dust mopping and polishing modes
• 24/7 continuous operation — via an all-in-one workstation for auto-refill, drainage, and charging

How Wide Is the BG1 Series' Cleaning Path?

BG1 Series has a 550 mm scrubbing width, extending to 708 mm with side brushes attached — sized for large open floor plans in industrial and key-account facilities rather than tight retail aisles.

What Happens When BG1 Series Detects a Wet Spill?

Its AI-native adaptive mechanism instantly retracts the sweeping modules when it detects a wet spill, preventing the spill from being dragged and spread across the floor. For dried, stubborn stains, it does the opposite — automatically increasing brush pressure to clean the spot in a single pass instead of requiring a second trip.

Does BG1 Series Dose Its Own Cleaning Detergent?

Yes. Its AI-native auto-dosing system uses dual 7 L tanks with milliliter-level accuracy, automatically scaling detergent strength to match the floor conditions it detects — aimed at maximizing cleaning effectiveness while reducing wasted product.

Can BG1 Series Find and Clean Messes on Its Own?

Yes. Using an ultra-wide field of view and AI vision, BG1 Series identifies and targets messes in real time as part of its normal route — a "see-and-clean" approach PUDU positions as proactive rather than reactive, aimed at keeping high-traffic zones clean between scheduled passes.

How Does the Extendable Edge Cleaning Work?

Most scrubbing robots leave a gap along walls and shelving because their brush can't reach past the machine's body. BG1 Series' scrubbing brush physically extends outward to clean along these edges directly, which is intended to reduce the amount of manual touch-up cleaning staff need to do after the robot finishes its route.

How Is BG1 Series Maintained?

BG1 Series is built for fast, tool-free maintenance:

• Automatic disc-brush attachment — no manual positioning or setup required
• Snap-on consumables — critical parts can be swapped without tools
• Under 1 minute — PUDU states routine maintenance can be completed in under a minute, reducing machine downtime

Can BG1 Series Run Unattended Around the Clock?

Yes, with the optional all-in-one workstation. It automates water refilling, wastewater drainage, and charging in a closed loop, which is designed to prevent residue buildup and odor between cleaning cycles and support continuous, zero-intervention operation.

Can a Person Manually Drive the BG1 Series?

Yes, via ride-on mode. Staff can deploy the platform for direct manual control, which speeds up initial site mapping, long-distance repositioning, and response to situations outside normal autonomous cleaning.

Is BG1 Series Safe to Operate Around People?

BG1 Series uses integrated light signals and sound cues to communicate its movement intentions to nearby pedestrians and vehicles, aimed at safe right-of-way in busy public or industrial areas, on top of its 3D perception system for obstacle detection and avoidance.

Can BG1 Series Integrate with Building Systems?

Yes. It supports:

• Elevator control — for autonomous multi-floor cleaning
• E-gate control — automatic passage through gated areas
• Call with pager — on-demand dispatch to a location
• PUDU Link — centralized fleet monitoring and management
• Connectivity — 4G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support

In short: BG1 Pro upgrades to full 3D LiDAR for more precise mapping and localization, and supports a higher top cruise speed — better suited to larger or more complex facilities that need faster coverage. BG1 covers the same core cleaning capability at a standard navigation and speed tier. Note: product imagery on this page shows the BG1 Pro model; refer to the spec table below to confirm exact specifications for either configuration before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PUDU BG1 Series? The PUDU BG1 Series is an AI-native large scrubber-dryer robot designed for industrial and major commercial facilities. It combines sweeping and wet scrubbing in one pass, extends its brush to clean edges, and supports 24/7 operation with an optional auto-refill and charging workstation.

What's the difference between BG1 and BG1 Pro? BG1 Pro upgrades from LiDAR to full 3D LiDAR fused with 3D VSLAM for more precise navigation, and supports a higher max cruise speed (1.2 m/s vs. 1.0 m/s). Cleaning width, tank sizes, run-time, and cleaning performance are the same across both models.

How much area can BG1 Series clean per hour? Up to 2,000 m²/h in covered (full-area) cleaning mode, or up to 6,000 m²/h in spot-cleaning mode, according to PUDU's published specifications.

Does BG1 Series detect wet spills automatically? Yes. Its AI-native adaptive mechanism detects wet spills and automatically retracts the sweeping modules to prevent the spill from spreading, then applies appropriate scrubbing for the spot.

Can someone manually drive the BG1 robot? Yes, through ride-on mode, which lets an operator take direct manual control for mapping, repositioning, or handling situations outside normal autonomous operation.

Is the BG1 Series suitable for warehouses and factories? Yes. PUDU positions BG1 Series specifically for major key accounts and industrial environments, including large-format spaces like warehouses, distribution centers, and factory floors, where wide-path, high-output cleaning is a priority.

Does BG1 Series need to be manually refilled and charged? Not with the optional all-in-one workstation, which automates water refill, wastewater drainage, and charging so the robot can run without manual intervention between cycles.
