Overview

The D9 is Pudu Robotics' first full-size bipedal humanoid, unveiled in December 2024 under the company's Born to Serve positioning. It is distinct from Pudu's established wheeled service-robot line: the company has more than 80,000 service robots deployed across more than 60 countries, at operators including Marriott, Hilton, and McDonald's, and the D9 extends that commercial service focus into a roughly 170 cm, 65 kg bipedal platform with about 42 degrees of freedom, self-developed actuators peaking near 352 N·m, and NVIDIA Jetson compute at up to about 275 TOPS.

Strengths

  • Backed by Pudu's commercial scale: more than 80,000 service robots deployed in over 60 countries.
  • Approximately 42 full-body degrees of freedom with self-developed actuators.
  • Peak joint torque of approximately 352 N·m.
  • Combined payload above 20 kg, with a separate hand-arm lifting figure of about 40 kg.
  • NVIDIA Jetson compute at up to approximately 275 TOPS.

Considerations

  • The D9 humanoid is distinct from Pudu's established wheeled service-robot line and is early in its deployment relative to that mature fleet.[1]
  • Enterprise and quote pricing only; no public unit price exists.[2]
  • The payload figures are distinct measurements (combined, per-arm, and hand-arm lifting load) and should not be read as one number.[2]
