D9 by Pudu Robotics & Hoxo Robot by Orano And Capgemini

D9 measures 170 x 50 x 40 cm and weighs 65 kg, featuring 42 degrees of freedom for human-like movement and dexterous PUDU DH11 hands with 11 degrees of freedom and maximum joint torque of 352 N·m. Hoxo Robot matches dimensions at 170 x 50 x 40 cm but is heavier at 80 kg. Both employ humanoid proportions suited for industrial tasks, though D9's lighter build and higher degrees of freedom support greater agility.

D9 achieves a maximum walking speed of 2 m/s using visual semantic SLAM, LiDAR mapping, and real-time 3D mapping for obstacle navigation and terrain adaptation. Hoxo Robot reaches 1 m/s (3.6 km/h) with indoor SLAM, visual SLAM, and LiDAR mapping focused on structured environments. D9's higher speed and semantic capabilities provide an edge in dynamic settings like warehouses.

D9 integrates RGB cameras, RGBD cameras, tactile sensors across 12 areas with 1018 pixels, IMU, force sensors, and auditory sensors for comprehensive perception. Hoxo Robot uses RGB cameras, stereo cameras, LiDAR, ultrasonic sensors, IMU, gyroscope, and force sensors. D9's tactile density and RGBD enable finer manipulation, while Hoxo's stereo and ultrasonic suit precise indoor localization.

Both robots support autonomous control, teleoperation, and learned behaviors, with D9 emphasizing reinforcement learning algorithms that improve from human demonstrations. D9 delivers 275 TOPS computing power for embodied intelligence tasks. Hoxo relies on proprietary AI modules without specified compute metrics, aligning AI for hazardous monitoring and gesture execution.

D9 offers a 3-5 year battery lifespan, while Hoxo provides 4 years. Specific capacity details for D9 include 15 Ah (0.72 kWh), supporting extended operations in service applications. Both designs prioritize long-duration performance for industrial use without frequent recharging.

D9 suits broad applications in industrial automation, healthcare assistance, warehouse logistics, and research with capabilities for stair navigation and 20 kg payload handling. Hoxo excels in nuclear inspections, hazardous monitoring, and technical gestures in controlled industrial zones. D9's versatility contrasts with Hoxo's specialization in high-risk, collaborative environments.

Both utilize ROS2-based operating systems with proprietary AI software and APIs; D9 adds general programming integration, while Hoxo specifies Python and C++ APIs. This shared foundation enables custom development for automation tasks. Compatibility supports deployment across industrial and service sectors.

D9 and Hoxo both incorporate force limiting, collision detection, emergency stop, and collaborative modes for human-robot interaction. These features ensure safe operation in shared workspaces. Identical safety protocols align with industrial standards.
