We have seen the future of hotels, and many of them will employ Pudu’s FlashBot Arm, a semi-humanoid AI service robot with intelligent delivery powered by cutting-edge embodied AI. This allows it to autonomously perform a wide range of tasks in complex environments like hotels, office buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, and healthcare facilities.
It comes equipped with two 7-degree-of-freedom arms that can lift to give the robot an operational reach of up to 6.6 feet. These boast Pudu’s PUDU DH11 dexterous hands, which have 11 degrees of freedom for precise tasks like pressing buttons, grasping objects, and transporting items.

Equipped with AI-driven large language models, a microphone, and a speaker, this robot can handle simple conversations with users, who can give it delivery instructions by voice alone. No need for a manual or a tap — it’s all spoken and processed on the fly.

As it rolls out to fulfill those commands, the robot leans on its VSLAM (visual simultaneous localization and mapping) tech. With a suite of sensors — RGB depth cameras, panoramic lenses, and a LiDAR unit — it builds a real-time 3D map of its environment while dodging obstacles like meandering hotel guests. Deliveries ride securely in a lidded compartment, leaving the FlashBot Arm’s hands free for the journey.
