Pudu Robotics Brings Physical AI into Everyday Life at Davos Tech Summit’s Robot City

ByAyshathul Mushrifa

Pudu Robotics is demonstrating the practical use of autonomous service robots at the Davos Tech Summit 2026, where its robots are operating across retail, hospitality, and public spaces as part of the event's Robot City initiative. The showcase highlights how embodied AI is moving beyond research into real-world commercial deployments that improve operational efficiency.

During the event, four Pudu robots have been deployed across three locations. The PUDU CC1 Pro performs autonomous floor cleaning at a SPAR supermarket, FlashBot Max and BellaBot Pro assist with deliveries and guest services at the Hilton Davos hotel, while the PUDU MT1 Max cleans outdoor public areas near Davos train station using AI-powered navigation and multi-sensor perception.

Pudu Robotics said its robots are powered by a unified embodied AI architecture built around its proprietary PuduFM foundation model and PuduAgent platform. This shared intelligence allows different robot types to perform tasks such as navigation, environmental perception, task execution, and multi-robot collaboration using the same core AI framework.

The company has deployed more than 130,000 robots across 85 countries and regions, with overseas markets accounting for over 80% of its revenue. In June 2026, Pudu Robotics also partnered with Swiss retailer Denner to deploy 200 PUDU CC1 cleaning robots, further expanding the commercial adoption of autonomous service robots in everyday business operations.
