Gom Schoonhouden B.V. is set to deploy cleaning robots from Pudu Robotics in Europe. This makes the company the first user on the continent of scrubber-dryer robots from the PUDU BG1 series. The rollout will take place through Fulin Robot Technologie B.V. The PUDU BG1 series uses an AI-driven system that analyses its surroundings and responds accordingly. Instead of following fixed routes, the robots adjust their cleaning behaviour based on what they encounter.
According to the manufacturer, the robots detect dirt in real time and adapt their approach accordingly. They are also equipped with an extendable mechanism designed to clean edges along walls and shelving more effectively. In addition, they combine sweeping and scrubbing in a single movement, reducing the number of separate actions required.
Geoffrey Nouws, Head of Innovation at Gom, said: “With this deployment, we are not only introducing a new machine, but a new way of working. We are continuously looking for innovations that can improve both quality and efficiency in large-scale cleaning. For us, this is a next step in the continuous improvement of our services. By applying this technology, we can support our clients with more consistent quality and more efficient processes in large-scale environments. Innovation is only valuable if it leads to better results for our clients.”
Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, said: “This collaboration confirms the direction in which the cleaning industry is developing. AI-driven robots are not only about efficiency, but are fundamentally changing how work is carried out. With the BG1 series and our AI Magic Cleaning system, we are enabling machines to go beyond simply executing tasks, towards genuinely understanding and making decisions independently. We are pleased to work with forward-looking partners such as Gom to bring this new way of working into practice on a larger scale.”
According to data from Frost & Sullivan, Pudu Robotics held a 23 percent global market share in commercial service robots in 2023. The company has now delivered more than 120,000 robots, with cleaning applications accounting for the largest share of its revenue.
