Combine delivery and manipulation with the FlashBot Arm
FlashBot Arm, developed by Pudu X-Lab, combines specialised delivery capabilities with humanoid manipulation. Integrating embodied intelligence, it recognises environments, understands tasks and executes them autonomously, from pressing buttons and opening doors to handing over items, delivering an intelligent service experience.
Best for
Autonomous delivery with manipulation
Primary task
Item delivery, pickup and handover
Environment
Hotels, offices, hospitals, laboratories and corporate campuses
Deployment type
Mapped autonomous deployment, with SPARK site assessment, training and ongoing support
Automate deliveries that need hands, not just wheels
Many delivery tasks involve pressing buttons, handling items or handing them over — steps traditional delivery robots cannot do.
Delivery robots cannot handle items themselves
Someone still has to load, unload and hand over every item.
7-DOF arms with dexterous hands.
Two liftable 7-DOF arms with PUDU DH11 dexterous hands and a 2 m operating diameter handle a much wider range of tasks.
Tasks change from one request to the next
Fixed routines cannot adapt to new situations.
Intelligent decision-making
FlashBot Arm autonomously recognises environments, understands tasks and executes them with precision.
Valuable items need secure delivery
Open trays leave documents, parcels and medicines exposed.
Enclosed compartment
A spacious dual-door enclosed compartment with locking and ID verification protects sensitive items.
Robots working near people must be safe
Robotic arms need precise force control around guests and staff.
Safe and reliable
RGBD cameras, LiDAR, panoramic cameras and pressure-sensitive skin enable precise force control and an immediate stop on contact.
Key outcomes
Automated delivery
Pick up and drop off items precisely. The advanced robotic arms make FlashBot Arm useful in labs, offices and hospitals.
2 × 7-DOF arms · DH11 dexterous hands (6 active + 5 passive DOF) · 15 kg load · 1600 × 2000 × 1600 mm max reach.

How it works
01.
Map or configure
Prepare FlashBot Arm for your building. The space is mapped and delivery points, doors and lifts are configured.
What the FlashBot Arm handles
Uses VSLAM, LiDAR SLAM and omnidirectional perception to build a 3D map.
Where people step in
Initial mapping and task set-up require human input.
The exact SPARK deployment process TBC
02.
Run the workflow
FlashBot Arm collects items, carries them in its enclosed compartment and uses its arms and hands to complete handovers and interactions.
What the FlashBot Arm handles
Carries out navigation, manipulation, delivery and automatic recharging.
Where people step in
Staff assign tasks and verify sensitive deliveries. Exact exception and takeover procedures TBC
03.
Monitor and improve
Keep tasks aligned with your operation as needs change, with multi-robot task allocation across the site.
What the FlashBot Arm handles
Optimises task allocation across multiple robots.
Where people step in
People remain responsible for reviewing performance and deciding when adjustments, maintenance or further configuration are needed. TBC

Deployment and integration
From site survey to launch, SPARK prepares your robot for your site, your workflow and your team.
01 — Site survey
We assess your requirements and site conditions to help plan your robot deployment.
02 — Mapping
The operating area is mapped for autonomous operation before handover.
03 — Workflow design
We develop a deployment plan around your site and operational requirements.
04 — Integration
Integration requirements are assessed for each deployment, while tasks, schedules and reports are managed through the app.
05 — Training
