PUDU Kettybot Pro Delivery & Reception Robot with Ad Display

In most restaurants, the person who welcomes a guest and the person who brings the food are two different people, and the walk between the host stand and the table is where service quietly slips. The PUDU Kettybot Pro Delivery & Reception Robot with Ad Display closes that gap by handling both jobs on one compact body. It can lead a party to its seats, come back with their order, and carry a large advertising screen through the room on every trip. Think of it less as a replacement for a server and more as a host stand with shelves that can move on its own.

Robots USA sells the Kettybot Pro and supplies it to restaurants, hotels, retailers and other customer-facing businesses across North America. Robots USA prepares each quotation, coordinates delivery to your site and provides after-sales support, so one team stays with the project from your first question to the robot's first full shift.

Background

PUDU ROBOTICS and the KettyBot line

PUDU ROBOTICS develops commercial service robots for indoor public spaces: dining rooms, hotel lobbies, stores and showrooms. Robots in this class take over the repetitive carrying, guiding and announcing tasks that tie up staff, while people stay focused on conversation, upselling and problem-solving. Within the PUDU range, the KettyBot family is positioned around reception and delivery in tight spaces. The sources name two versions, the original KettyBot and the KettyBot Pro covered on this page. PUDU describes the Pro as a delivery and reception robot with an ad display, which signals where its emphasis lies: moving food and moving attention at the same time.

Two screens and a hybrid navigation stack

The technical story of the Kettybot Pro rests on a few building blocks. Per the published specification, it uses SLAM positioning and navigation that integrates both visual and laser positioning, a combination meant to keep the robot oriented in busy rooms where furniture shifts and people constantly cross its path. PUDU confirms that 360° fisheye lenses and smart tray sensing let the robot detect its load status on its own, so it knows when a tray has been emptied. The interface is reported to be split across two displays: a 10.1-inch LCD screen for interaction and an 18.5-inch LCD screen dedicated to advertising. On the software side, PUDU confirms integration with the PUDU Open Platform, which lets operators personalize the robot's expressions, voice and content.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are listed as published by the manufacturer and most come from a single source, so each figure is confirmed against the official datasheet at quotation.

What does the advertising screen add to a delivery robot?

A standard delivery robot earns its keep on the trip from kitchen to table. The Kettybot Pro is designed to earn something on the way there as well. With an 18.5-inch advertising screen reported alongside its 10.1-inch interaction screen, the robot turns every run through the dining room into an impression: a dessert special, a happy-hour offer, a loyalty sign-up or a partner brand. Because content can be personalized through the PUDU Open Platform, the message can change with the time of day or the campaign without reprinting a single poster.

The function modes reinforce that idea. Among the nine modes in the published specification are Advertising, Cruise and Customer attraction, which let the robot patrol an entrance or a sales floor purely to draw attention, then switch back to Delivery or Dish-return when the rush begins. Reported 2 × 10 W stereo speakers and a 6-mic circular array kit support the voice side of that interaction. For a venue that already pays for digital signage, the question becomes whether a sign that moves to where the guests are performs better than one fixed to a wall.

Can the Kettybot Pro serve several tables and work with other robots?

Yes, and PUDU states both points plainly. Multiple tables can be served in one run, with accurate positioning and optimal path planning, so the robot does not need to return to the pass after every drop-off. Once a tray is cleared, the fisheye lenses and smart tray sensing register the change and the robot can move on, which cuts down on the awkward pause where a guest wonders whether to send it away.

For larger floors, the PUDU Scheduler system allows the Kettybot Pro to communicate directly with any robot on the same network. In practice, that matters when two or more units share narrow aisles: coordination keeps them from blocking one another at a corner or a doorway. PUDU also confirms that in certain situations the robot can pass through a clearance of only 52cm, which is useful in dining rooms where chairs drift into the aisle as service goes on. The Wi-Fi standard the robot uses on that network has not been published, and Robots USA confirms it at quotation so your IT team can plan ahead.

Who is the PUDU Kettybot Pro for?

The clearest fit is the full-service or fast-casual restaurant that wants to free servers from carrying plates and bussing tables while adding a marketing channel inside the dining room. Two trays, a dish-return box and a reported tray load of 10 kg/layer suit plated meals and drinks rather than bulk catering loads; the whole-robot payload has not been published and is confirmed at quotation.

Hotels and entertainment venues form a second segment, using the Guiding mode to lead guests and the Birthday mode to add a moment of theater to a celebration. Retailers, showrooms and event spaces make up a third, where the advertising screen and Customer attraction mode matter more than the trays. Note that the published IP20 rating and the stated working range of 0℃ to 40℃ point to indoor, climate-controlled use.

Buyers weighing the Kettybot Pro against the original KettyBot should know that the sources do not publish side-by-side figures for the two versions; Robots USA can set out the differences against current datasheets when preparing your quotation. Venues looking at a wider fleet can browse the full range of Commercial Robots.

What is the PUDU Kettybot Pro used for?

1. Table delivery: carrying plated orders and drinks to several tables in a single run.
2. Guest guiding: leading arriving parties from the entrance to their assigned seats.
3. In-venue advertising: showing promotions on the large screen while it moves through the room.
4. Dish return: collecting used plates and tableware with the dedicated dish-return box.
5. Celebrations: using Birthday mode to bring a cake or a greeting to the table with music and display effects.
6. Customer attraction: patrolling an entrance or sales floor in Cruise mode to draw in passersby.

Summary

The Kettybot Pro answers a simple operational problem: welcoming, serving and promoting usually fall to different people, and the handoffs between them cost time and attention. By combining guiding, multi-table delivery, dish return and a dedicated advertising screen on one slim, self-navigating body, it lets a single machine cover the path from the door to the table and back. PUDU confirms its load detection, Scheduler-based cooperation and Open Platform customization, while the remaining specifications are verified against the datasheet before you commit.
