PUDU BG1 Pro AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot
Every large facility has a floor that never quite gets the attention it deserves: the back aisles of a distribution center at 2 a.m., the concourse between flight banks, the production hall after the last shift clocks out. Staffing a ride-on operator for those hours is costly and hard to sustain, and skipping the pass shows up as dull concrete, tracked-in grit and slip reports. The PUDU BG1 Pro AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot is Pudu's answer to that staffing gap. It is a full-size machine that sweeps and scrubs in one workflow, judges the dirt it is working on, and keeps going when nobody is on shift to drive it.
Robots USA sells the PUDU BG1 Pro and supplies it to commercial and industrial customers in the United States and abroad on a project basis. Each unit is quoted for the facility it is headed to, and Robots USA handles delivery, the commissioning conversation and the support that follows. Your team works with one supplier from the first floor-plan review to the replacement rubber blade.
Background
Pudu Robotics and the launch of the BG1 Series
Pudu Robotics is based in Shenzhen, China, and works across service and cleaning robotics. According to the company's launch announcement dated March 25, 2026, Pudu introduced the PUDU BG1 Series that day and described it as the world's first AI-native large scrubber-dryer robots. That is Pudu's own claim, and it frames the intent clearly: the series is meant to bring robotic autonomy to the large-format class of floor machine. Below it in Pudu's range sit compact and mid-size machines, all collected in our Cleaning Robots category. The BG1 Series comes in two versions, the standard PUDU BG1 and the BG1 Pro covered on this page.
What "AI-native" means on the floor
Conventional autonomous scrubbers follow a route and apply the same settings throughout. The BG1 Pro is pitched differently. Per the published specification, it carries dual 7L independent agent tanks and doses detergent with milliliter-level precision, adjusting chemical ratios to the type and severity of the dirt it encounters. Pudu also reports that the machine retracts its sweeping modules when it detects a wet spill, so it does not spread the liquid, and that it increases brush pressure on stubborn stains. The manufacturer has not published a brush pressure figure; it is confirmed at quotation. Perception is reported as 3D LiDAR combined with 3D VSLAM, the sensor pairing that lets the robot map large spaces and recognize what lies in its path.

What does the BG1 Pro add over the standard BG1?
The two versions share the same platform concept, and the published comparison lists several identical lines: the same reported charging time, the same communications package, and the same 550 mm scrubbing width extending to 708 mm with side brushes. The differences sit in how the machine sees and how fast it moves. Per that comparison, the standard BG1 is listed with LiDAR + 3D VSLAM and a cruise speed of 0.2–1.0 m/s. The BG1 Pro steps up to 3D LiDAR + 3D VSLAM and a reported cruise speed of 0.2–1.2 m/s. Both points come from a single source and should be checked against the datasheet at quotation.
In practice, a 3D LiDAR sensor gives the robot a fuller picture of its surroundings, which matters in spaces with overhanging racking, mixed traffic and objects at varying heights. The higher top speed shortens transit between zones on very large sites. The BG1 Pro's battery, run-time and weight figures above belong to the Pro; we do not carry those figures across to the standard BG1, which has its own specification page.
How does the BG1 Pro handle spills, stains and edges?
Edges are where autonomous scrubbers usually leave work behind, and where cleaning crews end up following with a mop. On the BG1 Pro, the scrubbing brush physically extends to reach walls and shelving edges, removing dust and dirt along the perimeter and cutting down on manual touch-ups. In a warehouse with long racking runs, that is the difference between a clean aisle and a clean aisle with a gray stripe along each side.
Spills get their own treatment. Pudu reports that the robot detects wet spills and retracts its sweeping modules so liquid is not smeared further, then lets the scrubbing system deal with it. Stubborn stains trigger increased brush pressure, while the auto-dosing system adjusts the chemical ratio to the dirt type. For relocation, high-speed initial mapping or emergency intervention, the BG1 Pro also has a stowable ride-on mode that lets an operator take over manually, according to the manufacturer.
Who is the PUDU BG1 Pro for?
The BG1 Pro is aimed at operators of large, open floors who want ride-on scale without a full-time ride-on driver. Logistics and distribution centers are an obvious fit, with long aisles, racking edges and overnight windows when the floor is empty. Airports, rail stations and transit hubs benefit from the spot cleaning mode for spills between peak periods. Shopping malls, big-box retail and exhibition halls gain consistent after-hours coverage, and manufacturing plants with sealed concrete floors get a machine that adjusts its chemistry to oil, dust or general grime.
Facility managers who want lights-out cleaning should plan for the optional workstation, which the manufacturer specifies as the requirement for unattended operation. Multi-level sites can take advantage of the optional e-gate and lift integration listed among the communications options. Buyers whose sites are simpler, or whose priority is the core BG1 Series platform rather than the Pro's upgraded 3D LiDAR and higher cruise speed, should compare the standard PUDU BG1. Smaller floors may be better served by the compact and mid-size machines in our Pudu cleaning robots range.
What is the PUDU BG1 Pro used for?
- Warehouse aisle scrubbing: overnight passes along racking, with the extending brush reaching shelving edges.
- Terminal and concourse care: routine coverage plus spot cleaning of spills between passenger waves.
- Retail and mall floors: after-hours sweeping and scrubbing of large sales floors and common areas.
- Manufacturing halls: dosing adjusted to dirt type and severity on working concrete floors.
- Exhibition and event venues: fast turnaround of wide halls between show days.
- Multi-floor facilities: moving between levels through the optional e-gate and lift integration.

Summary
The hardest floors to keep clean are the biggest ones, at the hours when nobody wants to drive a scrubber. The PUDU BG1 Pro takes on that gap with a 550 mm scrubbing width, a 75 L clean water tank and a 60 L waste water tank, a brush that reaches walls and shelving, and reported AI dosing and spill handling that adapt to the mess in front of it. Its upgraded 3D LiDAR and higher reported cruise speed set it apart from the standard BG1, while the optional workstation turns it into a lights-out machine. If your facility needs ride-on scale without the ride-on shift, this page is the starting point.
