Pudu Technology Inc. today launched the PUDU T600 Series industrial robots, which it said are designed for high-payload, autonomous materials handling in complex environments. The Shenzhen, China-based company said the new series marks its expansion into logistics and “end-to-end automation.”
“Whether deployed in electronics assembly, automotive parts production, metal fabrication, or smart warehousing, the T600 Series is engineered to streamline logistics flows, reduce manual handling risks, and future-proof intralogistics networks through intelligent automation,” said Pudu.
Pudu said it is a global leader in service robotics, focusing its research and development, manufacturing, and sales on three core technologies: mobility, manipulation, and artificial intelligence. The company offers three product lines: service delivery robots, commercial cleaning robots, and industrial delivery robots, which are deployed across 10 major industries, including food and beverage, retail, hospitality, healthcare, entertainment and sports, industrial facilities, education, and more.
To date, Pudu Robotics claimed that it has successfully shipped more than 100,000 units to a variety of markets, with a presence in more than 1,000 cities across over 80 countries and regions. Last week, it unveiled the PUDU MT1 Vac, an AI-powered robotic sweeper and vacuum designed to meet increasing demand for dry cleaning in commercial and industrial spaces.
Pudu builds on T300, creates two versions of T600
Pudu Robotics last year launched the PUDU T300 to address mid-load transport. It added that the heavy-payload T600 can help manufacturers improve throughput, labor flexibility, and adaptive intralogistics—especially in fast-changing production and warehouse settings.
The new series includes two distinct versions to meet varied needs, said the company. The PUDU T600 is the standard version of the series. It is a heavy-payload industrial delivery robot, featuring a built-in touchscreen, ergonomic handlebar, and intuitive control buttons. Pudu said this interface enables easy operation for tasks that require occasional manual interaction.
The PUDU T600 Underride is a chassis-based autonomous mobile robot (AMR) with a low-profile build that allows it to navigate beneath racks or shelves, lift them, and transport them with precision. Pudu said it is suitable for high-density, automated shelf-to-line or shelf-to-shelf operations.
New robots autonomously move heavy payloads
The PUDU T600 Series has a 600 kg (1,322.7 lb.) payload capacity, according to Pudu Robotics. This can reduce the number of delivery trips required, enhancing throughput and single-trip efficiency for heavy-duty logistics operations, it said.
The new AMR can also identify designated shelves or cargo positions for pickup and drop-off tasks, thanks to its navigation and perception systems, enabling fully autonomous storage, delivery, and replenishment operations, claimed Pudu.
Designed for high-density environments, the T600 Series dynamically adapts its pathing strategy based on aisle width and load dimensions, the company said. The robot can switch between single-lane or dual-lane traffic in real time to ensure safe, efficient passage and coordinated multi-robot operations.
Speaking of multi-robot operations, Pudu said it follows the VDA 5050 communication standard. The T600 is able to integrate with other robots and systems, simplifying fleet collaboration and scalability.
PUDU T600 designed for easy integration
Pudu Robotics added that it designed the T600 for fast deployment, so it can adapt to changing production layouts without requiring physical modifications or lengthy setup processes.
To overcome elevator congestion in vertical facilities, the AMRs use a real-time scheduling system that identifies and prioritizes idle elevators, improving delivery speed and minimizing wait times during inter-floor transport. The systems’ modular Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity supports access control, elevator rides, goods call buttons, and more, so it can quickly interface with factory systems without complex software integration.
The PUDU T600 also supports on-premises or private cloud deployment. It keeps data within internal networks and does not rely on external cloud services, which the company said makes it appropriate for security-sensitive environments.
In addition, the new series includes features such as ground projection indicators in the standard version to alert nearby personnel. It also has real-time dynamic obstacle avoidance and an integrated disaster-response module that enables automatic action during emergencies like fires or earthquakes.
“Whether deployed in electronics assembly, automotive parts production, metal fabrication, or smart warehousing, the T600 Series is engineered to streamline logistics flows, reduce manual handling risks, and future-proof intralogistics networks through intelligent automation,” said Pudu.
