About

About PUDU D5

PUDU D5 is a rugged quadruped for inspection, patrol, delivery and embodied-AI development. The platform uses four articulated legs for climbing steps, traversing slopes and moving over uneven surfaces, with a maximum stated speed of five metres per second and IP67 environmental protection.

An NVIDIA Orin and RK3588 compute architecture provides up to 275 TOPS, while lidar, fisheye cameras and other sensors support localisation and obstacle perception. Delivery, inspection and sensing modules can be mounted on its back for patrol, industrial inspection and outdoor service work. Voice and gesture interaction provide additional human-control options.
