Pudu Robotics, a provider of commercial service robotics, has announced a strategic partnership with Gom Schoonhouden, one of the Netherlands’ premier professional cleaning service providers.
The agreement, facilitated by Pudu’s regional partner Fulin Robot Technologie, marks the first deployment of the AI-Native Large Scrubber-Dryer Robot PUDU BG1 Series in Europe.
This milestone represents a significant step forward in the adoption of next-generation cleaning automation across the European market and builds on the long-standing collaboration between Gom Schoonhouden, Pudu Robotics, and Fulin Robot Technologie across multiple projects.
AI-native cleaning era in Europe
Recognized for its operational scale, service quality, and forward-looking approach to innovation, Gom Schoonhouden continues to set innovative benchmarks in the cleaning industry.
Its decision to become the first adopter of the BG1 Series in Europe reflects Gom’s focus on practical innovation and continuous improvement.
Geoffrey Nouws, head of innovation at Gom, says: “With this deployment, we are not simply introducing a new machine, but a new way of operating.
“We continuously look for innovations that can elevate both quality and efficiency in large-scale cleaning operations. For us, this deployment is a next step in continuously improving our service delivery.
“By applying this technology, we can support our clients with more consistent quality and more efficient operations in large-scale environments. Innovation is only valuable when it contributes to better results for our clients.”
Redefining intelligence
At the core of the PUDU BG1 Series is an AI-native architecture, which integrates perception, decision-making, and execution into a continuous operational loop.
Unlike traditional robots that rely on predefined routes and schedules, the BG1 is designed to dynamically respond to real-world environments – enabling more adaptive, efficient, and consistent cleaning outcomes.
This intelligence is powered by Pudu’s proprietary AI Magic Cleaning system, which transforms cleaning from a task-based process into a proactive, outcome-driven operation.
Through real-time mess detection, adaptive cleaning strategies, and automatic optimization of key parameters such as chemical usage and brush pressure, the system ensures high performance across complex, large-scale environments while reducing manual intervention.
In addition, the BG1 Series introduces an industry-first extendable edge cleaning mechanism, enabling the scrubbing brush to reach flush against walls and shelving to eliminate traditional cleaning blind spots.
Its integrated sweep-and-scrub system further enhances efficiency by combining dry debris collection and wet scrubbing in a single pass, reducing redundant operations and maximizing productivity.
Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics, says: “This partnership is a strong validation of where the cleaning industry is heading. AI-native robotics is not just about improving efficiency – it’s about fundamentally redefining how work gets done.
“With the BG1 Series and our AI Magic Cleaning system, we are enabling machines to move beyond execution to true understanding and decision-making. We’re excited to work with forward-thinking partners like Gom to bring this new operational paradigm into real-world environments at scale.”
Global growth
The partnership also highlights Pudu Robotics’ accelerating growth in the global cleaning robotics sector.
According to data from Frost & Sullivan’s Market Research on Global Commercial Service Robotics (2023), Pudu Robotics was recognized as the global leader, commanding a 23 percent market share – the highest in the industry.
This leadership is further evidenced by Pudu’s massive operational scale, with over 120,000 robots shipped worldwide to date and a remarkable 100 percent year-over-year revenue growth in 2025.
Today, cleaning robotics has emerged as the company’s primary growth engine, now accounting for over 70 percent of its total revenue.
Among its flagship products, the PUDU CC1 has surpassed 20,000 units in cumulative global shipments, with 60 percent deployed across Europe and North America – markets known for their stringent requirements in reliability, compliance, and service standards.
Setting a new standard
Through this collaboration, Pudu Robotics, Gom Schoonhouden, and Fulin Robot Technologie will continue to explore scalable, intelligent solutions for commercial cleaning, setting new benchmarks for efficiency, consistency, and automation in complex operational environments.
As the industry evolves, this partnership signals a broader transition toward AI-native infrastructure – where cleaning is no longer defined by repetitive tasks, but by intelligent systems capable of continuous optimization and autonomous decision-making.
