PUDU ET1 AI-Native Compact Scrubber-Dryer Robot

A commercial floor rarely presents a neatly separated cleaning task: loose debris, footprints and wet marks share the same route through the premises. The PUDU ET1 AI-Native Compact Scrubber-Dryer Robot addresses that overlap with a front-sweep, rear-scrub design that handles dry debris and wet stains simultaneously. Its compact format brings sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust-mopping together, while automatic mapping and dock-based self-cleaning address the preparation and maintenance surrounding the cleaning run. For a buyer, the central question is not simply whether a robot can scrub, but how its cleaning process fits the space and the people responsible for it.

The product is available through this page, by quotation.

Background

PUDU ROBOTICS and the E Series

PUDU ROBOTICS positions ET1 as the first product in the PUDU E Series, built for cleaning areas of 100 to 800 square meters. The named settings include convenience stores, drugstores, chain restaurants, business and economy hotels, and office spaces. This positioning gives buyers a useful starting point: ET1 is directed towards smaller commercial premises rather than an unspecified building-wide cleaning requirement. Within the wider Cleaning Robots category, its combination of compact dimensions and multiple cleaning functions is particularly relevant when access and daily routines matter as much as floor area.

Choosing equipment for such premises involves more than matching an area figure. A site assessment normally considers furniture, circulation routes, cleaning access and the location of service facilities. ET1's target area establishes its intended market, while the physical clearances and cleaning widths below provide more specific information for evaluating a proposed layout.

Coordinated cleaning and operator access

The cleaning structure places sweeping at the front and scrubbing at the rear, addressing dry debris and wet stains in a single pass. Hot scrubbing adds another element: the docking station fills ET1 with 85°C hot water, and onboard heating keeps it hot throughout cleaning to dissolve tough grease and sticky residues. These functions bring different parts of floor care into a coordinated process rather than treating each as a separate machine task.

ET1 also provides dedicated Admin and User modes. Managers have a mode for professional configuration, while operators have a simplified mode for daily cleaning. It autonomously maps new environments without pre-mapping or complex setup. That combination is relevant to organisations where the person configuring equipment is not necessarily the person operating it each day.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are as published by the manufacturer and are confirmed against the datasheet at quotation.

The manufacturer has not published the noise level, IP rating, sensors and navigation hardware, connectivity, operating temperature range, packing list, supported floor types or climbing ability; these details are confirmed at quotation.

How does PUDU ET1 combine wet and dry cleaning?

The front-sweep, rear-scrub layout is the starting point. It tackles dry debris and wet stains simultaneously, rather than requiring those tasks to be separated into successive cleaning passes. Sweeping and vacuuming have a wider cleaning path than scrubbing and dust-mopping, so buyers should distinguish the selected function when considering aisle coverage. The respective widths are not interchangeable measures of the same operation.

For stubborn stains, ET1 combines a roller speed of up to 800 rpm with 20 kPa suction to remove grease and footprints while recovering dirt and wastewater. The 5000 Pa downward pressure maintains constant floor contact. Hot water supplied by the dock and maintained by onboard heating addresses grease and sticky residues, adding a thermal element to the mechanical cleaning process.

The routine continues after cleaning. ET1 returns to its 8-in-1 docking station after each task for fully automated self-cleaning, and automatic dust collection takes place after every run. The quick-release cleaning modules support maintenance and deep cleaning. Buyers should consider these features together: routine automation and access for physical maintenance are complementary, not substitutes for a site-specific care procedure.

Who is PUDU ET1 for?

ET1 is aimed at organisations cleaning small commercial spaces within its stated target area. Convenience-store and drugstore operators have an obvious interest in its compact body and clearance requirements. Chain restaurants have a relevant combination of dry debris and wet staining, while business and economy hotels and offices are also named target settings.

It is particularly worth evaluating where managers set cleaning procedures and daily operators need a simpler interface. Dedicated Admin and User modes address those different responsibilities. For multi-site buyers, procurement should examine each location's layout rather than assume that similar floor areas imply identical deployment conditions.

Sites with carpet boundaries also have a specific feature to assess: ET1 detects carpet edges and lifts the scrubbing roller to keep carpets dry. This does not establish a complete list of supported flooring materials. During quotation, identify the actual surfaces, transitions and access restrictions so the proposed cleaning routine addresses the premises rather than just its overall size.

What is PUDU ET1 used for?

1. Convenience-store floor care: Combine sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust-mopping within a compact commercial setting.
2. Drugstore cleaning routines: Assess the compact body and minimum clearance against aisles and display layouts.
3. Chain-restaurant floor cleaning: Use hot scrubbing to address grease and sticky residues alongside dry debris.
4. Business and economy hotel cleaning: Coordinate floor-care tasks with the needs of operators and site managers.
5. Office floor maintenance: Apply automatic mapping and dedicated operating modes to routine commercial cleaning.
6. On-site promotional display: Use the optional HD display for brand promotion, event marketing and dynamic information.

Pricing and Availability

Request a quotation for PUDU ET1 with the intended cleaning area, layout, floor materials and daily cleaning requirements. State whether the optional advertising display is required, and ask for the equipment scope to be itemised, including the docking arrangement and any accessories. This makes the proposal easier to evaluate against the operational needs of the premises.

Delivery, customs and support are arranged with the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cleaning functions does PUDU ET1 provide?

It combines sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust-mopping in a single robot. Its front-sweep, rear-scrub design handles dry debris and wet stains simultaneously.

Does PUDU ET1 need pre-mapping?

No pre-mapping or complex setup is required: ET1 autonomously maps new environments. Site planning still needs to address access routes and the proposed docking location.

How does the hot-water cleaning system work?

The docking station fills ET1 with 85°C hot water. Onboard heating keeps the water hot throughout cleaning to dissolve tough grease and sticky residues.

What happens when ET1 reaches a carpet edge?

It detects carpet edges and lifts the scrubbing roller to keep carpets dry. Ask for the intended floor materials and transitions to be addressed in the quotation.

Does the robot clean itself after a task?

ET1 returns to its 8-in-1 docking station after each task for fully automated self-cleaning. Automatic dust collection also takes place after every run.

Can managers and daily operators use different modes?

Yes. Dedicated Admin and User modes provide professional configuration for managers and simplified daily cleaning for operators.

Where can I buy PUDU ET1 and what does it cost?

You can request PUDU ET1 through this page by quotation. The quotation sets out the selected configuration, equipment scope and arrangements for delivery, customs and support.

Summary

Mixed debris and wet marks demand a coordinated response, not merely a powerful scrubber. ET1 brings sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust-mopping into a compact platform, supported by hot-water cleaning, automatic mapping and task-end self-cleaning. Its intended commercial settings and published clearances help buyers frame the site assessment, while operator modes address the people responsible for the routine. For a quotation that connects those capabilities to your premises, this page is the starting point.
