Pudu Robotics Unveils PUDU D5 Series: Industry-Grade Autonomous Quadruped Robots Designed for Complex, Real-World Operations
Wednesday, December 10, 2025
SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pudu Robotics, a global leader in service robotics, today announced the launch of the PUDU D5 Series, a new generation of Industry-grade Autonomous Quadruped Robots engineered for complex, unstructured, and large-scale outdoor environments. The series includes two configurations: the PUDU D5, a legged version built for maximum terrain adaptability, and the PUDU D5-W, a wheeled version designed for optimized performance on mixed surfaces.
Addressing the Automation Gap in Challenging Environments
While service robots are well-adopted in restaurants, hotels, and other structured commercial environments, many outdoor and industrial spaces remain difficult to automate. Uneven terrain, slopes, staircases, multi-level layouts, and weather exposure continue to limit deployment in critical tasks such as inspection, patrol, logistics support, and emergency response. The D5 Series was developed to close these gaps--delivering advanced autonomy, rugged mobility, precise perception, and high environmental resilience to enable robots to operate where traditional systems cannot.
"The PUDU D5 series represents a significant leap forward in our vision for robotics. The D5 successfully brings advanced autonomy, rugged mobility, and intelligent interaction into the complex outdoor and industry-grade scenarios", said Felix Zhang, Founder and CEO at Pudu Robotics. "For Pudu, the D5 is not merely a new product, but a milestone in our mission to push robots deeper into more applications. We are building a collaborative ecosystem of 'specialized, semi-humanoid, and humanoid robots' that, by complementing each other's capabilities, can comprehensively meet the diverse needs of our users."
Key Features of the PUDU D5 Series
-- Automotive-Grade Computing for True AutonomyPowered by a dual-processor
architecture featuring NVIDIA Orin and RK3588 for up to 275 TOPS, D5
executes real-time SLAM, 3D reconstruction, object recognition, obstacle
avoidance, and path planning simultaneously--supporting continuous,
unsupervised operation even in dynamic environments.
-- High-Precision 360° PerceptionFour 120° fisheye cameras combined with
dual 192-line LiDAR sensors provide comprehensive environmental
awareness, generating dense 3D point clouds for precise localization and
dynamic navigation. Remote visualization tools allow operators to
oversee missions when needed.
-- Million-Square-Meter Navigation CapabilityCapable of mapping and
navigating facilities up to one million square meters, the D5 handles
complete autonomous workflows including departure, patrol, obstacle
handling, and return-to-charge. Single-charge range extends to 14
kilometers, making it suitable for airports, metro systems, and
industrial campuses.
-- 30kg Payload with Stable PerformanceHigh-strength aluminum construction
and closed-loop torque control enable stable 30-kilogram payloads with
over two hours of continuous runtime at full load, accommodating diverse
inspection devices, materials, and mission-specific modules.
-- All-Terrain Mobility for Complex EnvironmentsAdvanced wheel-leg hybrid
locomotion reaches 5 m/s on flat surfaces, while maintaining the ability
to climb 30° slopes and continuously step over 25cm stairs. IMU-driven
stabilization and bionic control algorithms ensure smooth and sustained
operation across floors and challenging terrain.
-- All-Weather Durability and Extreme ResilienceDesigned for real-world
exposure, the D5 supports cold-start at -10°C, operates from -20°C to
55°C, and achieves IP67 ingress protection for dependable performance
in rain, snow, dust, and fluctuating climate conditions.
-- Intelligent Following and Predictive AvoidanceWith fusion of vision and
depth sensing plus proprietary dynamic-obstacle-prediction algorithms,
the D5 achieves natural, reliable autonomous following. It maintains
safe, stable spacing even in narrow or crowded environments -- ideal for
inspection, logistics, and escort-type tasks.
-- Natural Interaction with Gesture and Voice ControlThe D5 supports 10+
intuitive hand gestures (start, stop, recall, follow, etc.) and features
a 6-mic array with AI noise reduction for highly robust voice
recognition in noisy environments. This enables more human-friendly
collaboration and seamless on-site operation.
Expanding Pudu Robotics' Embodied-Intelligence Ecosystem
The PUDU D5 Series extends Pudu Robotics' embodied-intelligence portfolio beyond specialized service robots into complex industrial and outdoor environments. By complementing its existing specialized, semi-humanoid and humanoid robots, the D5 enables customers to deploy robot fleets across diverse scenarios--from industrial inspection and transportation infrastructure to outdoor security and research applications--creating a scalable ecosystem that addresses real-world operational challenges previously beyond the reach of autonomous systems.
