PUDU MT1: The Autonomous Cleaning Robot for Large Venues

The PUDU MT1 Vac is an autonomous sweeper designed for large indoor facilities with heavy foot traffic such as airports, malls, hospitals, casinos, convention centers, and transit hubs.  It delivers wide-area sweeping, fine-dust pickup, and long run times with minimal staff involvement.

The MT1 Sweeper recognizes carpet and hard floors in real time, adjusts suction and brush speed automatically and uses a wide path plus HEPA filtration to keep both floors and air clean with minimal human intervention.

Key Features and Capabilities

High-Capacity Sweeping + Active Dust Control

• Dual-disc brush system handles everything from larger debris (like leaves and bottles) to fine dust and dirt
• Active Dust Control uses high-flow negative-pressure ventilation plus an efficient filter to trap particles in the debris box and help prevent secondary pollution
• 35L (1.2 Sq. Ft.) trash bin capacity for longer operation between emptying

High-Efficiency Coverage

• 27.5 inch practical cleaning width for fast, wide-area sweeping
• Edge to edge cleaning logic to stay close to walls, racks and pillars
• Cleaning performance up to 18,000 sq. ft./hr. (standard mode) and up to 60,000 sq. ft./hr. (spot cleaning mode)
• Built for big venues - designed to tackle areas up to 100,000 sq. ft. rofessional-grade dry cleaning
• Low profile operation under spaces with 20.5 inches of height and through aisles as narrow as 29.5 inches

AI Trash Recognition, Spot Cleaning, and Safety

• AI Trash Recognition identifies different types of trash in real time and improves via ongoing learning
• AI Spot Cleaning targets debris as it’s detected (rather than only following a fixed route)
• Integrated positioning (LiDAR SLAM + VSLAM) for stable mapping and adaptive operation in dynamic environments
• Multi-sense safety with 3D depth perception and multi-sensor fusion for navigation and obstacle avoidance

Tight-Space Mobility + Easy Maintenance

• 75 cm (29.53 in) narrow path clearance to maneuver through tighter indoor passages
• Quick-release modular design for easier maintenance and faster bin/consumable swaps
• 4–8 hour runtime (by cleaning level) and <3 hour charging to support frequent operation
• Designed for frequent operation with automatic docking and fast charging

Business Benefits

• Reduce manual labor across large indoor spaces
• Standardize cleaning quality and coverage across shifts and locations
• Improve indoor air quality while cleaning with HEPA level filtration
• Support cleaner, safer floors in high traffic public areas
• Present a modern and professional environment

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

FAQs

Q1. What types of facilities is the MT1 Sweeper best suited for?
The MT1 Sweeper is ideal for large indoor commercial and institutional spaces with dry debris and frequent foot traffic - such as airports, malls, hospitals, metro and train stations, casinos, hotels, convention centers, and office buildings.

Q2. Can it handle both carpets and hard floors?
Yes. The MT1 Sweeper is designed for mixed indoor environments and uses AI to recognize floor types (carpet vs. hard flooring) and adjust its cleaning behavior so it can move between corridors, lobbies, waiting areas, and retail spaces without needing manual changes.

Q3. How much area can it clean on a typical shift?
The MT1 Sweeper can clean up to about 15,000 square feet per hour, with 3 to 6.5 hours of runtime depending on mode and surface. With proper scheduling, a single unit can support routine sweeping across large concourses, multiple levels, or multiple zones.

Q4. What kind of debris can it pick up?
The MT1 Sweeper is designed for dry debris such as dust, hair, sand, crumbs, paper pieces, and typical indoor litter on carpet and hard floors. It is not intended for liquids, wet spills, or floor scrubbing.

Q5. Is it safe around people and obstacles?
Yes. The MT1 Sweeper uses LiDAR, cameras, and additional sensors to detect people, carts, displays, and temporary obstacles. It slows, stops, or reroutes as needed - so it can operate in busy public spaces alongside normal daily activity.

Q6. How is maintenance handled?
Daily and weekly tasks are simple. Staff typically empty the debris bin, inspect brushes, and perform a quick visual check. The design is modular, so routine service items like brushes and the collection bin can be handled quickly without specialized tools or extensive training.

Hero LifeCare also offers monthly service plans that include complete unit care, including consumables replacement and ongoing maintenance support.

Q7. What is the difference between MT1 Sweeper and MT1 Max?

MT1 Sweeper is optimized for indoor dry sweeping in high-traffic areas.

MT1 Max is built for larger and semi-outdoor environments (such as parking garages and courtyards), typically with a wider sweeping focus and a chassis/protection design better suited for ramps and open structures.

Q8. How does charging work and what infrastructure is required?
The MT1 Sweeper returns automatically to its docking station when the battery is low or when a cleaning task is complete. The dock plugs into a standard electrical outlet, so most facilities don’t need special power infrastructure. Charging typically takes under 3.5 hours. (Charging dock sold separately.)

Q9. How loud is the MT1 Sweeper during operation?
Noise levels are generally suitable for public indoor areas. Many facilities schedule heavier cleaning for off-peak hours and run lighter maintenance passes during operating hours to balance cleanliness and guest experience.

Q10. How difficult is it to train staff and integrate the MT1 Sweeper into existing cleaning routines?
Most teams can learn basic operation in a short training session. Setup typically includes mapping the area, defining zones and schedules, and teaching staff how to start/stop the unit and empty the debris bin. After setup, the MT1 Sweeper runs on schedule and staff focus on spot checks and quick servicing.

Hero LifeCare can also provide full mapping and complete robot setup at each location as an additional service.

Q11. What support and service options does Hero LifeCare provide?
Hero LifeCare can assist with assessment, deployment, staff training, and ongoing support. Monthly service plans are available for complete unit care - helping ensure consistent performance and uptime across your locations.

Q12. Can the MT1 Sweeper integrate with elevators or building systems, and does it support APIs?
Yes - MT1 Sweeper deployments can support multi-floor workflows by integrating with elevators, doors/gates, and other building access systems where the facility’s infrastructure allows it. Integration is typically done through approved building interfaces or middleware so the robot can request access, move between floors, and continue scheduled routes.
