Overview
On October 13, 2026, Pudu Robotics, a Shenzhen‑based global leader in commercial service robotics, announced that its newly launched PUDU BG1 Series received two prestigious ISSA awards. The press release, distributed via PRNewswire, highlighted the series’ rapid market uptake and reinforced the company’s leadership in intelligent cleaning solutions.
Awards
The PUDU BG1 Series won the Robotics Award in the ISSA ASIA AWARDS 2026 held at the ISSA SHOW ASIA in South Korea. In addition, the series secured the People’s Choice Award at the 2026 ISSA Excellence Awards during the ISSA Cleaning & Hygiene Expo in Australia. These recognitions underscore the product’s growing presence in the commercial cleaning market across the Asia‑Pacific region.
Product Launch and Market Reception
The BG1 Series was launched in March 2026. Within its first month on the market, pre‑orders surpassed RMB 100 million, demonstrating strong initial commercial demand for the AI‑native large‑scale cleaning robot.
Technology Highlights
The BG1 Series is built around an AI‑native architecture that embeds perception, decision‑making and adaptive cleaning execution into the core of the robot. This enables the robot to move beyond fixed routes, identify different dirt types and floor conditions, and adjust cleaning parameters in real time. Designed for demanding environments such as retail complexes, warehouses and industrial facilities, the system handles both dry debris and wet dirt in a single workflow and features an extendable scrubbing brush to improve edge coverage and reduce manual follow‑up.
Historical Achievements
Pudu Robotics previously won two awards for its PUDU MT1 at the 2025 Australian ISSA Excellence Awards – the People’s Choice Award and the Equipment category award. The BG1’s 2026 People’s Choice win marks consecutive years of award recognition for two distinct cleaning‑robot products.
Market Leadership
According to Counterpoint Research, Pudu Robotics ranked No. 1 worldwide in both commercial cleaning robot shipments and revenue for 2025, reinforcing its dominant position in the global market. The company’s portfolio now includes the PUDU CC1 all‑in‑one robots, the PUDU SH1 smart upright scrubber‑dryer, the PUDU ET1 compact scrubber‑dryer, the PUDU MT1 dry‑cleaning robots, and the PUDU BG1 large scrubber‑dryer robots, collectively addressing a broad spectrum of facility‑maintenance tasks.
Company Profile
Frost & Sullivan’s latest market report also ranks Pudu Robotics No. 1 globally in commercial service robotics by both revenue and shipment volume.
