Technical approach

As reported
Modular Design

Product-specific platforms

Each robot (delivery, cleaning, industrial) runs a shared autonomous navigation core but with task-specific hardware and effectors.

Cleaning Robots

Autonomous facility maintenance

Cleaning robots operate autonomously in commercial spaces, learning floor layouts and optimizing cleaning patterns without human guidance.

Delivery Robots

Restaurant and hospitality automation

BellaBot delivers food and packages to tables, rooms and other locations, integrating with restaurant and hotel management systems.

Industrial Robots

Warehouse automation for manufacturers

PUDU T300 and similar robots move goods and materials in manufacturing and warehouse environments, increasing throughput with lower cost than manual labor.
