PUDU MT1 Max: Indoor/Outdoor AI Industrial Floor Sweeper Robot

The PUDU MT1 Max is an autonomous, AI-driven sweeper designed for large, complex facilities where conventional equipment and manual labor struggle to keep up. It combines 3D LiDAR, multi-sensor fusion, and dual-chip AI computing to “see” its environment in 3D, avoid people and vehicles, and adapt its cleaning strategy in real time. 

With a wide cleaning path, large debris bin, and long runtime, MT1 Max can cover up to ~1.1 million square feet per deployment, making it ideal for underground parking garages, hospital and university campuses, logistics hubs, residential communities, and other large properties. 

Key Features & Capabilities

Next-Generation 3D Perception

• 3D LiDAR + multi-sensor fusion for centimeter-level mapping and robust navigation in complex environments.
• Detects objects up to ~490 ft away, maintaining stable positioning even in low light, dust, fog, or semi-outdoor conditions. 

AI “Magic Cleaning”

• Dual-chip AI architecture doubles computing power for fast perception and decision-making. 
  
• AI trash recognition identifies multiple types of debris in real time and continuously improves via a self-learning database. 
  
• AI spot cleaning: wide-area scanning and patrols detect localized trash and send the robot directly to it for targeted cleanup.

• Water-drop sensor triggers rain-avoidance mode, guiding the robot to a safe zone when water is detected. 
  
• ~4 ft high warning beacon plus projected safety light and audible alarms to keep the robot highly visible to pedestrians and vehicles. 
• Advanced 3D obstacle avoidance with differentiated strategies: stop, yield, or edge aside for vehicles, pedestrians, and animals. 
  
  

Low-Touch Maintenance

• Built-in automatic filter cleaning via internal vibration system to keep suction and filtration performance high and reduce manual filter work.
• Sealed structure protects critical components, reducing unplanned downtime in real-world operations. 
  

Hero LifeCare offers monthly service plans that include complete unit care. We replace all consumables and handle maintenance and cleaning of the robot.

IoT-Enabled & Scalable

• IoT connectivity for remote monitoring and management. 
  
• Supports integration with smart infrastructure (e.g., building systems, fleet management tools) for multi-site deployments.
  
  

Business Benefits

• Reduce labor hours on low-skill sweeping and reassign staff to higher-value work.
• Standardize cleaning quality across shifts, sites, and vendors.
• Lower total cost of cleaning vs. manual or ride-on sweeping for large footprints.
• Improve safety by cutting debris-related slips/trips and reducing staff exposure to vehicle traffic.
• Elevate facility image with consistently clean garages, entrances, and plazas.
• Support ESG goals with electric, data-driven cleaning and longer-lasting surfaces.
• Scale easily from one property to a multi-campus portfolio using the same platform.

FAQs

Q1. What types of facilities is the PUDU MT1 Max best for?
MT1 Max is ideal for large, hard-surface areas such as multi-level parking garages, medical campuses, universities, logistics hubs, industrial parks, and big retail or mixed-use complexes. If you have long stretches of concrete or paving that gather dust and trash, this robot is a strong fit.

Q2. How much area can it cover on a single charge?
In typical conditions, MT1 Max can clean tens of thousands of square feet per charge, with rates of about 23,700 sq. ft per hour in cover mode and up to 75,000 sq. ft per hour in spot mode. With a runtime of around 8 hours, it’s suitable for facilities approaching 1.1 million sq. ft. when properly scheduled.

Q3. What kind of debris can it pick up?
It’s designed for dry debris on hard surfaces, including:

• Dust, sand, and fine particles
• Leaves and small branches
• Paper, wrappers, cigarette butts
• Lightweight items like cups and bottles

Q4. Is it safe around people, cars, and in healthcare settings?
Yes. MT1 Max uses 3D LiDAR, cameras, and multiple safety sensors to detect and avoid pedestrians, vehicles, and other obstacles. It slows down or stops as needed and uses visible warning lights and sound signals, making it safe for use in parking garages, hospital grounds, and busy public areas.

Q5. Can it work in semi-outdoor environments?
Absolutely. It’s rated IP54 for dust and water spray resistance, works between about 14°F and 113°F, and is built for semi-outdoor locations like open-sided garages, courtyards, and covered walkways.

Q6. How is it installed and mapped?

Deployment typically involves:

• Installing the docking/charging station
• Guiding the robot through your facility once so it can map the environment
• Setting up cleaning zones, schedules, and “no-go” areas via the interface

HeroLifeCare can assist with setup, mapping, and staff training to get you up and running quickly.

Q7. Can it clean across multiple floors and through secured doors?
Yes, with optional elevator and access-gate integration, MT1 Max can be configured to move between levels and controlled-access zones. This makes it ideal for multi-level parking garages and large, connected buildings.

Q8. What routine maintenance does it need?

Basic tasks include:

• Emptying the debris bin as needed
• Checking brushes and replacing them when worn
• Verifying filters and performing any extra cleaning beyond the automatic filter-clean cycles

HeroLifeCare can provide maintenance plans and spare parts support.

Q9. Is this suitable for hospital environments?
MT1 Max is a dry sweeper, not a scrubber, so it’s ideal for outdoor and semi-outdoor areas around healthcare facilities: garages, entrances, drop-off zones, roadways, and courtyards. For indoor floor disinfection and scrubbing, it’s usually paired with dedicated scrubber robots or equipment.

Q10. How do I get pricing or schedule a demo?
Because every site is unique, pricing depends on your square footage, number of units, and service package. Contact HeroLifeCare to:
