About

About FlashBot

FlashBot uses onboard lidar, cameras and other proximity sensors to localise within buildings, avoid obstacles and travel between delivery points. Enclosed compartments carry meals, amenities, parcels or documents and can be opened by the recipient at the destination. Building-system interfaces allow the robot to call elevators, select floors and pass through compatible access-control points during multi-storey missions.

Staff dispatch jobs through the robot interface or connected service software, after which FlashBot navigates to the requested room and sends an arrival notification. Multiple units can be coordinated across a property through Pudu’s fleet and cloud-management systems. The platform is commercially deployed in hotels, offices, hospitals and mixed-use buildings through Pudu Robotics and its regional service partners.

Timeline

  • Pudu service robots modernize Food Bayana delivery workflows

    2024-10-10 - Deployment - Food Bayana operates as a two-story automated food plaza, with 30 FlashBots and 20 charging stations running across three delivery zones from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Each food stall is paired with a robot; nine elevators move orders between floors, and FlashBots transport dishes to second-floor pickup and warming areas while customers receive status notifications. Pudu began implementation in May 2024 and reports that the project was fully operational in July after initial issues, with modified trays, added cameras, dedicated pathways and refined elevator logic.
