Pudu Robotics is using the Davos Tech Summit 2026 to show what autonomous robots can really do in day?to?day operations, not just in lab demos. Under the summit theme “Touching Intelligence,” the focus this year is on how embodied intelligence is moving from breakthrough technology into practical deployment, and Robot City turns the whole town into a living testbed for Physical AI.
As part of Robot City, robots are placed in real commercial environments around Davos so industry leaders, customers and the public can see them working in the wild.
Pudu Robotics is one of the flagship participants, deploying four robots across three locations to demonstrate how embodied AI is already delivering tangible value in everyday business scenarios.
Four robots, three everyday scenarios
During Robot City, visitors can join guided tours to watch Pudu robots handle routine tasks across retail, hospitality and public spaces.
Retail cleaning at SPAR supermarket
At a SPAR supermarket, the PUDU CC1 Pro takes on floor cleaning without disrupting normal operations.
As it moves through customer traffic, shelving and changing aisle layouts, the robot uses vision, LiDAR and AI perception to plan routes in real time and continuously evaluate cleaning quality.
With a rear AI camera, CC1 Pro can spot residual stains after a pass and trigger targeted re?cleaning, meaning it verifies that the job is actually done instead of simply following a fixed route.
Hotel services at Hilton Davos
At Hilton Davos, FlashBot Max and BellaBot Pro work together to support both back?of?house and guest?facing services.
FlashBot Max autonomously delivers supplies between floors, integrating with the hotel’s elevator system to move through the building.
BellaBot Pro greets guests and delivers food and beverages, combining autonomous navigation with multimodal interaction.
In a hotel setting, robots have to coordinate several linked processes from picking up orders and calling elevators to interacting with guests while adapting to unexpected changes along the way.
Public space cleaning at Davos train station plaza
At the Davos train station plaza, the PUDU MT1 Max tackles cleaning in outdoor and semi?outdoor public areas. Using 3D perception, LiDAR and multi?sensor fusion, it navigates safely through crowds, responding to moving pedestrians and shifting surroundings.
Its IP54 protection rating and active rain avoidance features support reliable operation in outdoor conditions where weather and environment are less predictable.
Each robot addresses a different operational need, but together they highlight the same core capability: embodied AI that can perceive, understand, adapt and complete real?world tasks autonomously.
One intelligence, many robot forms
Running robots reliably across industries and city?scale environments takes more than sophisticated hardware. It builds on years of field experience and an AI architecture designed to scale.
Instead of creating separate intelligence stacks for each product, Pudu has built a unified embodied AI architecture around its PuduFM foundation model and PuduAgent general?purpose agent platform.
This shared brain allows different robot types, service delivery, commercial cleaning, industrial delivery and general?purpose embodied AI, to use a common cognitive framework for perception, task execution and multi?robot collaboration.
That approach cuts deployment complexity, improves fleet coordination and speeds localization across global markets. For customers, it means getting scalable automation solutions rather than isolated machines that only solve one narrow problem.
How real?world deployment shapes embodied AI
This architecture underpins Pudu’s rapid global rollout. By 2026, the company has delivered more than 130,000 robots worldwide, serving customers in 85 countries and regions, with overseas markets accounting for over 80 percent of revenue.
Long?term deployments expose these robots to messy, real?world conditions, changing pedestrian flows, temporary obstacles, different building layouts, weather variations and local operating practices.
After compliant data collection, evaluation and model updates, those experiences are converted into reusable capabilities that can be rolled out across additional products and customer 
scenarios. It creates a continuous feedback loop in which each deployment helps the entire fleet get smarter and more robust.
This loop is already translating into commercial scale. In June 2026, Pudu Robotics and regional partner Robobee announced a deal with Swiss retailer Denner to deploy 200 PUDU CC1 cleaning robots across its stores.
