Pudu Robotics, the global leader in service robotics, launched the PUDU MT1 Max, an AI-powered 3D perception robotic sweeper designed to address the challenges of extensive and complex cleaning scenarios. As the latest member of the MT1 series, following the PUDU MT1 and PUDU MT1 Vac, the MT1 Max takes a major step forward with next-generation 3D spatial perception, enhanced AI capability, and upgraded security systems, setting a new standard for large-scale indoor and semi-outdoor cleaning in environments such as underground parking garages and semi-open building atriums.

Next-generation 3D perception for smarter navigation

Equipped with 3D LiDAR and multi-sensor capability, the MT1 Max can “understand” complex environments with centimeter-level accuracy and detect objects up to 150 meters away. It accurately recognizes and interprets various scenarios, from very high ceilings and glass roofs to semi-open areas and low-light environments, and maintains stable mapping and positioning even under high interference conditions such as thick dust, fog, or sandstorms. The enhanced 3D perception also enables smarter path planning in real time, allowing the robot to dynamically navigate, optimize cleaning routes, and proactively avoid unexpected vehicles or obstacles with speed and precision.

Enhanced AI capability for precise and efficient cleaning

Featuring a dual-chip architecture that doubles the computing power, the MT1 Max delivers faster recognition, more efficient calculations, and stable performance, even under heavy load or parallel tasks. Its advanced hardware and software integration, combining sensors, wheel hub motors, side brushes, and roller brushes, enables:

  • Adaptive cleaning strategies – adapts the cleaning mode to the weight of the debris and optimizes body positioning to capture debris precisely between the two side brushes.
  • AI-powered waste recognition – identifies multiple waste types in real-time, with a self-learning database for improved accuracy.
  • AI-Targeted Cleaning – Uses ultra-wide scanning and patrols to quickly detect and remove debris for smarter, more efficient cleaning.

Exceptional cleaning performance thanks to automated filter cleaning

While retaining the MT1’s ability to sweep up everything from fine dust, cigarette butts, leaves, and drinks bottles in a single pass, the MT1 Max adds an internal vibration system that ensures filters are kept clean in real time. This helps maintain suction and filtration efficiency, extends component life, and reduces the need for frequent manual maintenance. With its 70cm cleaning width, 35-liter dustbin, and precise edge-to-edge cleaning, the MT1 Max ensures consistently high cleaning performance while minimizing downtime in large-scale operations.

Improved autonomous obstacle avoidance

The MT1 Max features a fully 3D LiDAR- powered obstacle avoidance system , providing sharper dynamic perception and enhanced awareness of the surroundings. It can identify various dynamic obstacles (vehicles, pedestrians, small animals) and apply tailored avoidance strategies . It can stop at intersections, yield in traffic lanes, or pause in parking areas to ensure smooth operation without disrupting surrounding activity.

Multidimensional security improvements

The MT1 Max is designed for reliability in harsh environments. Its IP54-rated protection protects against dust and splashes, while a water drop sensor triggers an avoidance mode in adverse weather conditions. A 1.2-meter-high beacon with bright lights improves visibility for pedestrians and drivers, helping to actively reduce risks.

Building on the operational excellence of the MT1, the MT1 Max offers extended battery life with 24/7 operation thanks to automatic charging, IoT integration for seamless coordination with smart infrastructure, remote management tools for real-time monitoring, and exceptional maneuverability in tight or obstacle-prone spaces – ensuring complete coverage even in the most challenging environments.

The launch of the PUDU MT1 Max marks the third model in the MT1 series, following the PUDU MT1 ( 2024) and the PUDU MT1 Vac (2025). With each addition, Pudu Robotics continues to expand its smart cleaning portfolio, offering tailored solutions for different spaces, debris types, and operational needs—enabling businesses worldwide to maintain cleaner, safer, and more efficient environments.
