Pudu Robotics launches PUDU T600 Series of industrial delivery robots

Shenzen, China-based Pudu Robotics, a global provider of service robotics, announced the launch of the PUDU T600 Series.

The company said the T600 Series represents a next-generation lineup of industrial delivery robots purpose-built for high-payload, autonomous goods handling in complex industrial environments.

Dual-form design for higher application flexibility

Pudu said that following the success of the PUDU T300, which addressed mid-load transport needs, the T600 Series marks the company’s expansion into heavy-payload logistics and end-to-end automation. It’s designed to help manufacturers respond to growing demands for throughput, labor flexibility, and adaptive intralogistics - especially in fast-changing production and warehouse settings.

The T600 Series comes in two distinct versions to meet varied industrial needs.

The PUDU T600 is the standard version of the series - a heavy-payload industrial delivery robot that features a built-in touchscreen, ergonomic handlebar and intuitive control buttons. Pudu said these features enable easy operation for tasks that require occasional manual interaction.

The PUDU T600 Underride is a chassis-based industrial AMR designed with a low-profile build that allows it to autonomously navigate beneath racks or shelves, lift, and transport them with precision. Pudu added that the Underride model is ideal for high-density, automated shelf-to-line or shelf-to-shelf operations.

Pudu highlighted the following features of the new T600 Series:

• 600kg heavy load capacity
  • With a 600kg payload capacity, Pudu said the T600 Series significantly reduces the number of delivery trips required, enhancing throughput and single-trip efficiency for heavy-duty logistics operations.
• Flexible deployment
  • The T600 Series is designed for fast deployment, allowing it to adapt to changing production layouts without requiring physical modifications or lengthy setup processes.
• Rack group recognition
  • Advanced navigation and perception systems enable the T600 series to intelligently identify designated shelves or cargo positions and execute autonomous pick-up and drop-off tasks. Pudu said this enables fully unmanned operations in storage, delivery and replenishment scenarios.
• Idle elevator prioritization for multi-floor operations
  • To overcome elevator congestion in vertical facilities, the T600 uses a real-time scheduling system that identifies and prioritizes idle elevators, improving delivery speed and minimizing wait times during inter-floor transport.
• On-premises deployment for data security
  • The T600 supports on-premises or private cloud deployment, keeping data within internal networks and eliminating reliance on external cloud services. Pudu said this is ideal for security-sensitive industrial environments.
• Adaptive navigation in narrow aisles
  • Designed for high-density environments, the T600 Series dynamically adapts its pathing strategy based on aisle width and load dimensions, switching between single-lane or dual-lane traffic in real time to ensure safe, efficient passage and coordinated multi-robot operations.
• VDA5050 protocol compatibility
  • Support for the VDA5050 communication standard allows the T600 to integrate with other robots and systems, simplifying fleet collaboration and scalability.
• Comprehensive multi-layer safety system    
  • The company said that the PUDU T600 Series is built for safe operation with features such as ground projection indicators (standard version) to alert nearby personnel, real-time dynamic obstacle avoidance, and an integrated disaster response module that enables automatic action during emergencies like fires or earthquakes.
• IoT-enabled for smarter facility integration
  • The T600’s modular IoT connectivity supports access control, elevator rides, goods call buttons, and more - allowing it to quickly interface with factory systems without complex software integration.
