FlashBot Arm

FlashBot Arm is a semi-humanoid service robot from Pudu Robotics in Shenzhen, developed by its Pudu X-Lab and unveiled on March 31, 2025, that puts two humanoid arms and dexterous hands on a wheeled delivery base. The arms have seven joints each and lift on the body, giving them a reach of 1600 by 2000 by 1600 mm, and each hand has 6 active and 5 passive joints in Pudu's DH11 design. That lets it press elevator buttons, swipe access cards, open doors and hand items to guests without any building modification, while a sealed dual-door compartment carries up to 15 kg of deliveries. The body measures 539 by 515 by 1440 mm, moves on an independent suspended chassis with VSLAM and LiDAR SLAM mapping and fits paths as narrow as 65 cm. It works for 8 hours without load, recharges in 4 hours and returns to its charging station by itself. RGB-D cameras, LiDAR, panoramic cameras and pressure-sensitive skin sense the surroundings, compliant force control keeps contact with people safe, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen shows facial expressions while AI voice and gestures handle conversation. Several robots coordinate their tasks and avoid each other in crowded places. Pudu aims it at hotels, restaurants, retail and healthcare.
