Overview
KettyBot is a commercial delivery and reception robot developed by Pudu Robotics for restaurants, retail stores, and other customer-facing environments. It continues Pudu's minimalist design language with a forward-leaning, C-shaped body intended to slip through tight, crowded aisles while carrying trays of food, drinks, or retail items.
Beyond delivery, the robot doubles as a marketing and reception tool. A front-facing advertising display shows promotional content adapted to the customer's viewing angle, and AI voice interaction lets the robot greet and engage people as they pass. It can guide customers to their tables, serve multiple tables in a single run, and operate a cruise mode that offers free snacks and drinks alongside spoken promotions.
KettyBot navigates autonomously using a laser and visual dual-navigation system for obstacle detection and path planning. It integrates with Pudu's scheduler for multi-robot cooperation and automatically returns to its docking station to recharge when its battery runs low, supporting near-continuous daily operation.
