THE ROBOT was shown to partners at the company’s first European Partner Summit in Amsterdam. It can insert its forks in 20 seconds and is designed to simplify pallet transport in warehousing and logistics environments.

The MP2000 sits within Pudu’s industrial delivery line, one of six product lines that now share a common AI architecture. The company says the approach, which it calls “One Brain, Multiple Embodiments”, allows software and skills to be reused across different types of robot, cutting development and deployment times.

Support for European customers will be run from a new European headquarters in Neuss, Germany, which opened last week. The site combines a showroom, training, warehousing, after-sales service and repairs, and works alongside existing spare-parts warehouses in the Netherlands and Germany.

Pudu’s European revenue has grown by an average of more than 60% a year over the past two years, and the company now operates in more than 20 European countries, including the UK. Its products address a very broad range of sectors including healthcare, education, retail and hospitality as well as logistics.
