PUDU CC1 Pro

The quality-control loop at the heart of the machine

While the brushes work under the chassis, the rear camera analyses the strip of floor emerging behind the machine. A residual stain it detects is not merely logged: the robot triggers a localised re-clean before moving on. The same intelligence monitors the condition of its own components to prevent secondary contamination, the case where a soiled brush deposits dirt instead of removing it.

At the end of a task, the system generates an effectiveness heat map: areas treated, spots that persisted, distribution of the debris encountered. For a contract managed on results, this is a change of kind: cleaning stops being a black box and becomes an auditable data stream. An honest caveat: this detection capability rests on the manufacturer's documentation, with no third-party evaluation published to date.

What the Pro adds to the CC1

Five developments define the Pro version: the rear AI camera and its re-cleaning loop; VSLAM+ navigation covering 5,000 to 8,000 m² per map without QR codes on the floor; stated conformity with IEC 63327, the safety standard for autonomous cleaning machines, still rare among compact models; adaptive intensity control that saves water on areas that are already clean; and richer operating reports with alerts.

The foundation remains the 4-in-1 of the CC1 platform: sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming including carpet, dry dust-mopping, with automatic detection of the floor type. In full-coverage mode, 700 to 1,000 m²/h; in targeted mode, the manufacturer quotes 1,500 to 3,000 m²/h for localised interventions.

Its territory: interiors where proof has value

Hotels, premium retail, head offices, healthcare facilities, passenger areas: sites of 1,000 to 8,000 m² that combine hard floors and carpet, welcome the public continuously, and where cleanliness is a contractual commitment. This is precisely the environment where time-stamped proof of the work done is worth as much as the work itself.

The approach remains collaborative: the robot does the groundwork, reports honestly what it could not resolve, and the team deals with the difficult spots. The heat map is the tool for dialogue between the facility manager, the cleaning contractor and the people on site.

Points to watch, and how our service covers them

The 15-litre tanks remain the platform's structural limit; the station that unlocks full autonomy (charging, water, tank draining, self-cleaning of the roller and squeegee) is a piece of equipment in its own right; and field experience with a model launched in 2025 is still short. Several values (brush pressure, the Pro's suction power, IP rating, gradient) are not published.

Within our service, the station and its consumables are managed as part of the contract, fleet sizing is validated at the demonstration, and the 72-hour continuity guarantee covers machine downtime. You get the benefit of the quality-control loop without having to run it.
