ET1 AI-native compact robotic scrubber-dryer
PUDU ET1 is a compact floor scrubber robot for shops, offices, restaurants and small commercial areas from 100 to 800 m². In a single pass it sweeps at the front and scrubs at the rear: sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust removal.
It cleans 300–720 m²/h, with a 39 cm sweeping width and 30 cm scrubbing width; the roller turns at up to 800 rpm. The 8-in-1 station charges it, changes the water, washes the roller and supplies hot water up to 85 °C. Tanks of 8 L and 7.2 L, runtime 2.5–4 h, minimum passage 50 cm.

Pudu ET1: compact floor scrubber-dryer robot for shops, offices and small spaces
A compact autonomous floor scrubber-dryer: it sweeps at the front and scrubs at the back in a single pass, with hot water up to 85 °C. It fits through 50 cm passages, maps its surroundings on its own and after every job returns to the 8-in-1 station, which washes the roller, changes the water and doses the detergent. LeanProducts, official PUDU distributor in Italy, handles analysis, installation and training.

Why choose it
Sweeps and scrubs together
Sweeping at the front and scrubbing at the back: dry dirt and stains in a single pass. The squeegee immediately recovers the dirty water and leaves the floor dry and streak-free.
Hot water against grease
The station loads water at up to 85 °C and the robot keeps it hot; the roller turns at up to 800 rpm with 5000 Pa of pressure on the floor.
8-in-1 automatic maintenance
After every job it returns to the station: charging, roller washing and spin-drying, squeegee rinsing, clean and dirty water, detergent, water heating.
Compact and ready straight away
It needs only 50 cm passages. It maps its surroundings on its own and starts with one click, with no preliminary mapping.
Choose it if…
- You clean small or medium spaces, from 100 to 800 m²: mini-markets, pharmacies, restaurants, hotels, offices.
- You have narrow aisles and passages, down to 50 cm wide.
- You need to remove grease and sticky stains: you scrub with hot water.
- You want to clean during opening hours too and keep manual maintenance to a minimum.
Choose another solution if…
- Areas exceed 800 m² or you need larger tanks and up to 9 hours of runtime: CC1 Multifunctional Cleaning Robot →
- You need result verification with an AI camera on large areas: CC1 Pro multifunctional cleaning robot with AI →
- You need a scrubber-dryer for large areas, with 75 L tanks: Pudu BG1 AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot →
- You prefer a light manual scrubber-dryer pushed by the operator: Pudu SH1 multifunctional upright scrubber-dryer →

Where it works
The ET1 is designed for daily floor cleaning in small and medium commercial spaces, even while the premises are open:
- Mini-markets and shops: narrow aisles between shelves, cleaned even during opening hours
- Pharmacies: small spaces and floors always tidy in front of customers
- Restaurants and restaurant chains: grease and sticky stains dissolved with hot water
- Business and economy hotels: lobbies, corridors and common areas
- Offices: entrances, corridors and thoroughfares
Scrubbing is gentle even on parquet and marble. On carpet it just vacuums: it recognises the edge and lifts the scrubbing roller so as not to wet it, without changing modules.
Smart scrubbing
Dry in one pass
The squeegee immediately recovers the dirty water: the floor stays dry and streak-free.
It recognises liquids
On spilled liquids it lifts the sweeping brush and the side brush and lets the scrubbing roller do the work.
It recognises carpet
It recognises the edge of the carpet with physical sensors and AI: it lifts the scrubbing roller and keeps vacuuming.
With AI Adaptive Scrubbing, on stubborn stains it increases roller speed and water and slows down.
8-in-1 station and maintenance
8-in-1 station
Charging, roller washing and spin-drying, squeegee rinsing, clean-water filling, dirty-water draining, detergent dosing and water heating.
Clean roller and squeegee
The roller also self-cleans during work; at the end of the round the station washes and spin-dries it and rinses the squeegee, without manual intervention.
Dust collected automatically
2.5 L bin with automatic collection after every cycle: as a rule it is emptied once a week.
The 8-in-1 station is optional. Side brush, squeegee, roller, tanks, dust bin and battery can be detached in about 30 seconds for periodic cleaning.
How it is managed
Switch it on and it starts: the ET1 is designed to be up and running quickly.
One-click start
It explores and maps new environments on its own, with no preliminary mapping or complex configuration: even a demo takes little time.
AI Magic Cleaning
It recognises floor and stains and adapts the cleaning; at the end of the job it generates the cleaning heat map.
Touchscreen, app and PC
You control it from the 7" HD touchscreen, the app or the management platform on a PC; on the robot there are Administrator mode and User mode, with maintenance reminders.
Optional advertising display
21.5" screen with cloud-managed content; the body can be customised with your brand’s wraps.
PUDU OS: the software of the PUDU range
PUDU OS is the operating system of PUDU robots: it handles maps, navigation, cleaning algorithms, updates and data.
The same software as the rest of the range
The ET1 is the first robot of the E series, in PUDU Cleaning’s “AI-native” line: maps, navigation and adaptive cleaning come from the software platform shared by PUDU robots.
Updates over the network
PUDU OS includes the OTA update service, through which PUDU delivers new features and fixes to the robots.
Open Platform and PUDU Skill
The Cloud API connects PUDU robots to management and company systems; PUDU Skill helps developers, in AI coding tools, write the integration faster. For the ET1, API coverage must be confirmed by PUDU.
A single PUDU ecosystem for cleaning, delivery and logistics: same app, same reports. The ET1 has only just arrived: we will confirm which API functions are already active.
Data, security and compliance
A robot in your company must be safe for your data too. This is how it is protected:
Information security
PUDU is certified ISO/IEC 27001 for information security and ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy (certification body DNV): encrypted data, controlled access and a dedicated security department.
Privacy and GDPR
Cameras and sensors are used to find the way and avoid obstacles. We provide the privacy documentation for the model with the quote.
Data kept on site with PUDU Cloud Veil
If data must not leave the company, with PUDU Cloud Veil it runs locally or on your private cloud, without passing through PUDU servers. We define the configuration for your model in the quote.
CE marking and standards
The robot comes with CE marking and an EU declaration of conformity.
Settings and working modes are password-protected: unauthorised staff cannot change them.
The LeanProducts service
From the first analysis to after-sales support, with a single point of contact:
Analysis and demo
Together we assess areas, floors, passages and cleaning times and, on request, bring the ET1 for a trial at your premises.
Installation and mapping
We install robot and station, map the spaces and set up areas, modes and cleaning programmes.
Staff training
We train the people who will use the robot every day, so they are autonomous with tasks, maintenance and reports.
Service and spare parts
Direct support throughout Italy: by phone and remote access, repair on site or at our premises. Original PUDU spare parts and consumables.
LeanProducts is the official PUDU distributor in Italy.
