Pudu BG1 large AI scrubber-dryer robot

It is PUDU’s floor scrubber-dryer robot for large areas: at the front it sweeps and collects dry dirt, at the back it scrubs and dries, all in one pass. It works autonomously with maps and programmes, recognises dirt and liquids with artificial intelligence and, with the station, recharges and handles water on its own. It is available in two versions, BG1 and BG1 Pro.

There are four differences. The BG1 Pro navigates with 3D LiDAR, the BG1 with standard LiDAR; the Pro reaches 1.2 m/s, the BG1 1.0 m/s; the Pro climbs bumps up to 70 mm, the BG1 obstacles up to 25 mm; the Pro works without an operator even with just the charging base, while the BG1 requires the workstation to work on its own. The BG1 Pro is designed above all for car parks and large areas, with vehicle recognition. Everything else is the same: cleaning width, tanks, runtime and output.

On large indoor hard surfaces: warehouses and distribution centres, production plants, supermarkets and large retail spaces, transport hubs such as airports and stations, underground car parks. It is also suitable for environments with high ceilings, low light and pedestrian and vehicle traffic.

Up to 2,000 m²/h in full cleaning and up to 6,000 m²/h in AI spot cleaning, with a 550 mm width that reaches 708 mm with the side brushes. The tanks are 75 L clean water and 60 L dirty water, plus a 5 L debris container and two detergent tanks of about 7 L in total. These are maximum values: actual output depends on floor, dirt and routes.

On hard indoor floors, such as those of warehouses, factories, supermarkets and car parks. It sweeps dry dirt and wet-scrubs in the same pass; with the optional modules it also does dust mopping and polishing. For carpets and rugs the Pudu CC1 is the right choice. During the site survey we check floor type, joints and slopes with you.

With a very wide field of view and machine vision, the robot recognises dry dirt and liquids in real time, and in spot cleaning it goes where it finds dirt, up to 6,000 m²/h. On spilled liquids it retracts the sweeping modules so as not to spread them, on stubborn stains it increases brush pressure and speed, and it doses detergent according to the type of dirt. It generates the dirt heat map and the map of remaining stains: with Ultra Spot Clean you quickly clean the areas that get dirtiest, and with guided cleaning you lead the operator to stubborn stains.

Yes. The extendable scrubbing brush extends from the machine body and cleans right up to walls and shelving, reducing the strip that is left to clean by hand. For corners and touch-ups you can add the PUDU SH1 upright scrubber-dryer.

The 90 Ah, 48 V battery gives up to 7.5 hours of work with sweeping and scrubbing. Charging takes about 3 hours with AC power ≥ 180 V and about 4.5 hours below 180 V: the robot detects the voltage on its own. Without a station it charges with the cable. To return to charge on its own, the BG1 uses the optional workstation; the BG1 Pro can also use the charging base alone.

The optional all-in-one workstation charges the robot, fills clean water, drains dirty water and cleans itself: this way the robot stays ready 24 hours a day. For this it must be connected to water, drain and power. Without the workstation the tanks are filled and emptied by hand. We define position and connections with you during the site survey.

Yes. You schedule areas and times and the robot starts on its own. To work without an operator the BG1 uses the workstation, which provides charging and water. The BG1 Pro can work without an operator even with just the charging base: in that case water is filled and drained by hand.

The robot senses its surroundings with LiDAR and cameras (3D VSLAM; on the BG1 Pro the LiDAR is 3D, with vehicle recognition) and signals its presence to pedestrians and vehicles with light and sound alerts. It is designed for environments with pedestrian and vehicle traffic. During the site survey we define routes, excluded zones and schedules with you, taking forklift traffic into account.

Yes: with the optional ride-on kit it has a foldable operator station for on-board driving. The operator drives it to create the first map, for long transfers and for urgent jobs; then the robot goes back to working on its own.

It measures 1195 × 760 × 1303 mm with the squeegee and weighs about 344 kg; a passage of at least 85 cm is needed. The BG1 climbs obstacles up to 25 mm, the BG1 Pro bumps up to 70 mm. We check slopes with you during the site survey, together with ramps, joints and gratings.

Yes, with the optional lift and E-gate (automatic gates and doors) control it can work on several floors. It can also be called with a pager. We check compatibility with your installations during the site survey.

It has two detergent tanks, about 7 L in total, and mixes and doses them automatically to the millilitre according to the type of dirt and the condition of the floor: you use only the product you need. You can combine, for example, acidic and alkaline detergent, detergent and disinfectant, detergent and anti-foam or detergent and deodoriser. We recommend the right detergents for your floor.

Minimal and quick: the disc brush hooks on automatically and the consumables are quick-fit, for routine maintenance in less than a minute. The consumables are disc brush or scrubbing pad, side brush, sweeping roller brush and squeegee blades, also in an oil-resistant version. Replacement intervals depend on use: we define them with you and supply the spare parts.

The robot communicates via 4G, Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth. You set areas and times and monitor status and jobs with the PUDU Link app, the same as for the other PUDU robots, with cleaning reports. During the analysis phase we check network coverage along the routes with you.

The PUDU Open Platform (Cloud API) connects PUDU cleaning robots to company systems: tasks, status, real-time alerts and statistics. To write the integration faster there is the PUDU Skill, a package for AI programming tools that knows the up-to-date PUDU APIs. For the BG1 we check the available functions with PUDU; access goes through the distributor: we activate it and support your IT team or integrator.

It depends on the dirt. The MT1 dry-sweeps large areas, up to 1800 m²/h, and uses no water. The BG1 sweeps and scrubs in the same pass, handles liquids and stains and, with the workstation, works 24 hours a day. If you have dust and dry debris, an MT1 is enough; if the floor needs scrubbing, you need the BG1. The robots can also hand work over to each other: with Summon Cleaning one records the stains and assigns the task to another. We calculate how many robots you need with you, based on square metres, shifts and type of dirt.

LeanProducts, official PUDU distributor in Italy, handles surface analysis and site survey, station installation, mapping, staff training and support with spare parts. On request we organise a demo.

Cameras and sensors are used for orientation and obstacle avoidance. PUDU is certified ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 for information security and privacy. We provide the privacy documentation for the model with the quote; if data must stay on your premises, we assess PUDU Cloud Veil with you.

Yes. With PUDU Cloud Veil the data runs locally or on your private cloud and does not pass through PUDU servers: no data leakage at source and full control over the information, as required in environments with high confidentiality requirements. To connect the robot to your systems there is the PUDU Cloud Open API. We define the configuration and functions available for your model in the quote.

PUDU is certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 for privacy, verified by the certification body DNV. Data is encrypted and stored encrypted, access is limited to authorised personnel and a dedicated department oversees information security. Vulnerabilities are reported through an official channel. On the robot, settings and working modes are password-protected and the software is updated remotely.

Yes, every robot comes with CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity. The CC1 Pro is certified to IEC 63327, the safety standard for automatic floor-cleaning machines for commercial use. For the other models we provide the declaration and the standards applied with the quote.
