Overview
Pudu Robotics presents the D9 as a full-sized humanoid robot: a biped with two 7-DoF arms. The Robot Report describes the company as based in Shenzhen, China. The maker announced the robot on 19 December 2024.
Pudu has not confirmed whether the D9 is on sale, and no price has been published.
At 1.7 m and 65 kg, it matches the 1.7 m median height across humanoid records and sits slightly above the 61 kg median weight. It walks at up to 2.0 m/s on flat surfaces and has 42 degrees of freedom. Its DH11 hands have 11 degrees of freedom each, 6 of them active. It carries more than 20 kg, with 10 kg per arm in test conditions, and its onboard computing is rated at 275 TOPS, though the chip is not named. The battery holds 720 Wh. The release mentions visual, tactile, force and auditory sensors without listing the cameras. Pudu has not published runtime, charge time, the processor or software tools.
