Pudu KettyBot Pro

What it's for

The Pudu KettyBot Pro is a compact greeter-and-delivery robot from Pudu Robotics, measuring 435 × 450 × 1120 mm. It carries up to 10 kg on each of three shelves, runs up to 9 hours on a battery and navigates with LiDAR and an RGB-D camera.

Uses listed for the model: greeting guests, an advertising function (the screen) and light delivery service. The target groups are food service, events and advertising. In practice: cafés with a few tables, showrooms, event halls, exhibition stands, waiting rooms. Narrow passages are not a problem thanks to the slim build, which makes it a good choice for event spaces.

It is not a robot for full waiter service under heavy load; for that, the Pudu BellaBot or the Pudu HolaBot is better. The KettyBot is there to impress and lighten the load a little, not to replace a whole team. See events, restaurants and retail. More on the market: “Service Robots in Restaurants and Hotels”.

Who it's for

Makes sense for: event organizers, advertising agencies and venues that want a greeter robot that can also do light delivery. Narrow spaces where a larger robot won't fit, and companies that value a lower entry price.

Less suited to: restaurants that need a robot for full service under heavy load, since 10 kg per shelf is little next to the BellaBot's 40 kg. Buyers who want a confirmed Polish price: the amount listed comes from converting the USD price at 3.8762 PLN, not from a Polish offer. For them the PuduBot 2, with its public Polish price, will be more useful.

Deployments

We know that Dynamic Robots (dynamicrobots.pl) offers the model in the country, but we have no reliable data on specific venues or events, so we don't name anyone. In the category of greeter and event robots there are other designs too, including the temi V3. Category overview: service robots.

The Pudu BellaBot is the biggest alternative within the brand: more expensive (56,205 PLN (≈ EUR 12,880)), but with a larger payload and longer runtime (12 h versus 9 h). The PuduBot 2 (42,927 PLN (≈ EUR 9,840)) offers a public Polish price and rental from 990 PLN (≈ EUR 225) net a month, with a simpler design. For greeting and advertising, consider the temi V3 (17,439.00 PLN (≈ EUR 4,000)), a mobile assistant robot that is much cheaper. For hotels choosing a brand with a large support network: the LG CLOi GuideBot (155,009.24 PLN (≈ EUR 35,520)). Finally, the Bear Robotics Servi at 38,723.24 PLN (≈ EUR 8,870) is a simple delivery robot without the "wow" effect.

Behind the KettyBot is Pudu Robotics, founded in 2016 in Shenzhen, which according to its company profile has sold more than 80,000 robots. The KettyBot arrived as a smaller, more "sociable" model alongside the BellaBot, and the Pro version is its development. We have not confirmed the exact launch date. It is worth noting, though, that the manufacturer now also works on humanoids: the Pudu D9 was unveiled in December 2024.
