Pudu Holabot Pager & Notification Delivery Robot (HL101)

Every service floor runs into the same trade-off. A robot big enough to carry a real load tends to be too bulky for tight aisles, and a robot slim enough to slip between chairs runs out of shelf space after a couple of plates. The Pudu Holabot Pager & Notification Delivery Robot (HL101) takes a firm side on that trade-off. Its enclosed 120L compartment holds 4 large-capacity trays rated together for 60Kg. Per the published specification, it still passes through a minimum width of 70 cm (27.56 in), which is the figure that decides whether a robot works in a crowded dining room or only in a demo. Add a pager system that lets staff call it at any moment, and you get a machine that shows up when it is needed and has room to spare when it arrives.

Robots USA sells the HolaBot and supplies it to restaurants, hospitals, clinics, hotels and other commercial operators in the United States and Canada. Robots USA quotes each unit against the site it will serve. Before the order is placed, Robots USA confirms which separately sold accessories, such as loading boxes and pagers, belong in it. Robots USA also coordinates delivery, setup and after-sales support once the robot is on the floor.

Background

PUDU ROBOTICS and autonomous delivery

PUDU ROBOTICS builds commercial service robots for indoor spaces where people set the rhythm of the work. The company describes the HolaBot as a robot that brings autonomous delivery to food, medical and other fields. Delivery robots in this class take over the repetitive legs of a shift: walking plates out, carrying empties back, and moving items between a kitchen, a nurses' station or a storeroom and the people who need them. Staff keep the parts of the job that need judgment and conversation. The robot covers the distance.

Within that category, the HolaBot leans toward volume and responsiveness rather than display or advertising features. Its design centers on an enclosed, high-capacity cabin and a set of ways to call it to a specific spot. That makes it a natural fit wherever demand comes in bursts rather than on a predictable schedule.

Calling, listening and a sealed cabin

Three design choices set the HolaBot apart. The first is the pager function, which lets staff call the robot and assign it tasks at any time instead of waiting for it to finish a preset route. The second is sound tracking. The robot responds to "Hola Hola" voice recognition and uses a 6-array omnidirectional microphone to locate the source of a sound in real time and turn toward it. The third is the cabin itself. The inner cabin is rated IPX5 waterproof, so it resists the liquid splashes that are routine around soups, drinks and cleaning solutions, and the machine body stays clean. The trays inside are detachable and support five adjustable levels, so the holding area can be shaped around the load rather than the other way around.

Technical Specifications

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

How do staff and guests call the HolaBot?

Pager calling is the confirmed core of the system. A staff member uses a pager to summon the robot and hand it a task, and the robot heads to that point instead of finishing a loop first. The published specification goes further and lists five calling methods in all: watch calling, pudulink calling, pager calling, NFC calling and beeper calling. That reported range suggests a single site could mix approaches. A server might call by watch, a kitchen might use a fixed pager at the pass, and a ward might rely on NFC points. The exact combination a venue can deploy should be confirmed with Robots USA at quotation. Pagers are sold separately, so the count and type of calling devices form part of every order.

Voice adds another layer. Thanks to the 6-array omnidirectional microphone, the robot can locate a speaker who uses the "Hola Hola" wake phrase and turn to face them in real time. In practice, a guest or employee standing beside the robot does not need to walk around it to reach the screen. The robot reorients itself toward the person who called.

How much does the HolaBot carry, and where can it go?

The confirmed figures are 60Kg of carrying capacity, a 120L volume and 4 large-capacity trays. The published tray size is 390 mm × 360 mm (15.35×14.17 in). Because the trays come out and the holding area adjusts across five levels, a tall stack of bowls and a row of flat plates can share the same trip. PUDU has not published a payload per trip beyond the tray ratings, and buyers who plan heavy or unusual loads should have that confirmed at quotation.

For movement, the reported cruise speed runs 0.5–1.2 m/s (1.64-3.93 ft/s), and navigation is listed as laser and visual integrated SLAM positioning. Per the published specification, the robot clears a maximum surmountable height of 7 mm (0.28 in). That figure tells buyers to look closely at thresholds, elevator gaps and floor transitions on their own premises. The manufacturer has not published a maximum climbing angle at full load or a lidar range, so ramps and long open halls should be reviewed against the datasheet at quotation.

Who is the HolaBot for?

The clearest fit is a restaurant with high table turnover, where staff time is lost to carrying rather than to serving. A large cabin and on-demand calling mean the robot can clear a full table or deliver a whole order in one run. Buffet, hot pot and banquet operations, where volume arrives in waves, benefit in a similar way.

Healthcare is the second named field. Clinics and hospitals moving meals, linens or non-critical supplies between stations can use the pager and watch calling to bring the robot to a nurse rather than sending a nurse to the robot. The splash-resistant inner cabin helps keep the unit clean between runs. Certifications have not been published, so any facility with regulatory requirements should confirm them with Robots USA before ordering.

Hotels, offices and other indoor venues with repeated point-to-point runs round out the list. Buyers comparing PUDU's wider lineup can browse the Pudu category or look at the PUDU Bellabot Premium Delivery Robot (BL101) and the PUDU Bellabot Pro Premium Delivery & Advertising Robot. Robots USA can lay out the differences against a specific floor plan at quotation.

What is the HolaBot used for?

1. Bulk table service: carrying a full order out in one trip using the detachable, adjustable trays.
2. Dish collection: running the reported collection mode to bring empties back to the dish pit.
3. On-demand calls: answering a pager, watch or NFC call from staff exactly where help is needed.
4. Medical supply runs: moving meals and supplies between wards, stations and storerooms.
5. Roaming service: using the reported cruise mode to circulate through a venue with items on board.
6. Point-to-point transfers: sending the robot straight to one destination in the reported direct mode.

Summary

The HolaBot resolves the old tension between capacity and maneuverability. It puts a 120L cabin, 4 detachable trays and 60Kg of rated capacity into a body that, per the published specification, still fits through a 70 cm (27.56 in) passage. Pager calling turns that capacity into something staff can summon on their terms, and sound tracking with an IPX5 inner cabin makes it practical around people and liquids. A few figures remain unpublished, including certifications, Wi-Fi standard, lidar range and climbing angle, and Robots USA confirms them at quotation alongside delivery and support.
