Pudu Robotics Brings Physical AI into Everyday Life at Davos Tech Summit's Robot City | RoboticsTomorrow

Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial service robotics, is demonstrating how autonomous robots create real operational value at the Davos Tech Summit 2026, one of Europe's premier events exploring the future of Physical AI. Under the theme "Touching Intelligence," the summit this year focuses on embodied intelligence moving beyond technological breakthroughs into real-world deployment. As part of the event's Robot City initiative, robots are deployed across everyday commercial environments throughout Davos, offering industry leaders, customers, and the public a firsthand look at autonomous systems performing practical tasks in live operating environments.

Four Robots Across Three Real-World Scenarios

Pudu Robotics has deployed four robots across three operational locations in Davos, demonstrating how embodied intelligence delivers measurable value in everyday business scenarios. Visitors can follow guided tours to observe these robots performing daily tasks across retail, hospitality, and public infrastructure.

Retail Cleaning at SPAR Supermarket

At a SPAR supermarket, the PUDU CC1 Pro carries out autonomous floor cleaning during normal business hours. The robot navigates customer traffic, shelving layouts, and changing aisle conditions by combining vision, LiDAR, and AI perception to plan routes dynamically while continuously evaluating cleaning results. Equipped with a rear AI camera, the CC1 Pro can detect residual stains after cleaning and automatically perform targeted re-cleaning, verifying task completion rather than simply following a predefined route.

Hotel Services at Hilton

At Hilton Davos, FlashBot Max and BellaBot Pro work together to support both back-of-house delivery and guest-facing services. FlashBot Max autonomously delivers supplies between floors by integrating with the building's elevator system, while BellaBot Pro welcomes guests and delivers food and beverages through autonomous navigation and multimodal interaction. Hotel service demands that robots coordinate multiple interconnected processes—from order pickup and elevator access to guest interaction—while adapting to unexpected changes throughout the workflow.

Public Space Cleaning at Davos Train Station Plaza

At the Davos train station plaza, the PUDU MT1 Max demonstrates autonomous cleaning in outdoor and semi-outdoor public spaces. Using 3D perception, LiDAR, and multi-sensor fusion, the robot safely navigates crowded environments while adapting to moving pedestrians and changing surroundings. Its IP54 protection rating and active rain avoidance enhance operational reliability in outdoor conditions.

One Brain, Multiple Embodiments

Delivering reliable robotic operations across multiple industries and city-scale environments requires more than advanced hardware. Pudu Robotics has built a unified embodied AI architecture centered on its proprietary PuduFM foundation model and PuduAgent general-purpose agent platform. This shared intelligence enables robots across different categories—including service delivery, commercial cleaning, industrial delivery, and general embodied AI—to share a common cognitive framework for environmental perception, task execution, and multi-agent collaboration. The architecture reduces deployment complexity, improves fleet coordination, and accelerates localization across international markets, providing customers with scalable automation solutions rather than standalone robotic devices.

Real-World Deployment Accelerates Embodied AI

As of 2026, Pudu Robotics has delivered more than 130,000 robots worldwide, serving customers across 85 countries and regions, with overseas markets contributing over 80% of total revenue. Long-term deployments expose robots to diverse real-world challenges—from changing pedestrian flows and temporary obstacles to varying building infrastructures, weather conditions, and local operational requirements. After compliant data collection, evaluation, and model optimization, these experiences become reusable capabilities deployed across additional products and customer scenarios.

This continuous feedback loop is already translating into commercial scale. In June 2026, Pudu Robotics and regional partner Robobee announced a partnership with Swiss retailer Denner to deploy 200 PUDU CC1 cleaning robots across its store network, improving operational efficiency through human-robot collaboration. Together with Robot City, these deployments demonstrate that embodied AI is being validated through both commercial operations and public urban environments.

From Demonstrations to Real-World Deployment

At Robot City, Pudu Robotics shows that the future of embodied AI is defined not by isolated demonstrations but by reliable deployment in real-world environments. With a shared intelligence foundation powering multiple robot forms, the company continues to bring embodied AI into everyday operations across industries worldwide.
