New product launch: Pudu Robotics introduced the PUDU MP2000, an AI-native pallet handling robot with a 2,000 kg payload capacity.

  • Target applications: The robot is designed for autonomous floor-to-floor material transport in warehouses, logistics facilities, and manufacturing environments.
  • Simplified deployment: Plug-and-play deployment uses multi-sensor navigation, edge intelligence, and AI-native perception, with environment mapping that avoids extensive site modifications.
  • Handling flexibility: The robot supports common pallet formats, adapts to non-standard load carriers, and uses 3D LiDAR, depth cameras, and multi-sensor perception for obstacle detection.
  • Fleet and portfolio scope: PUDU MP2000 combines local intelligence with fleet-level coordination, works offline, and expands a portfolio that includes the T Series AMRs.

Pudu Robotics has launched the PUDU MP2000, an AI-native pallet handling robot rated for a 2,000 kg payload. The robot targets autonomous floor-to-floor material transport in warehouses, logistics facilities, and manufacturing environments.

Faster deployment without facility rework

Deployment friction has long been the sticking point for autonomous pallet handling. The PUDU MP2000 addresses this with plug-and-play deployment built on multi-sensor navigation, edge intelligence, and AI-native perception. The robot maps its operating environment for autonomous navigation without requiring extensive site modifications — a meaningful reduction in the commissioning work that typically slows automation rollouts on the plant floor.

Adapting to real-world pallets and obstacles

Pallet variety is another practical headache, and here the PUDU MP2000 supports common pallet formats while adapting to customized or non-standard load carriers. For situational awareness, the robot combines 3D LiDAR, depth cameras, and multi-sensor perception to detect and interpret obstacles — essential for operating safely around people, equipment, and shifting material flows.

Intelligence at the edge and across the fleet

The PUDU MP2000 pairs local intelligence with fleet-level coordination for autonomous operation. Notably, the system can operate in offline environments, so workflows aren't hostage to network connectivity, and it integrates with compatible peripheral equipment to fit different process requirements.

A broader industrial portfolio

The launch extends Pudu Robotics' industrial portfolio, which spans flexible mobile delivery and pallet handling robots — a lineup that includes the T Series AMRs. The PUDU MP2000 is designed to reduce deployment complexity and support adaptation across different operating environments, positioning it as a standardized option for manufacturers weighing their next automation investment.
