Smart Sweeper MT1 Max Designed for Dust, Debris, and Dynamic Spaces

• The MT1 Max expands Pudu Robotics' cleaning lineup with new tools to handle cluttered, high-traffic, and hard-to-map environments.
• It brings upgraded 3D perception, faster AI processing, and added safety systems for smoother, more reliable operation.

Pudu Robotics has launched the MT1 Max, the newest model in its MT1 series of cleaning robots. It follows the MT1 and MT1 Vac and is designed for large, complex spaces such as underground garages and semi-open atriums. This version introduces improved spatial awareness, stronger cleaning intelligence, and added safety features.

Equipped with 3D LiDAR and multi-sensor fusion, the MT1 Max can detect objects up to 150 meters away and map environments with centimeter-level accuracy. It interprets layouts such as high ceilings, glass roofs, and low-light areas while maintaining stable performance in dust, fog, or semi-open conditions. These improvements allow it to plan routes more effectively, adapt to changes in real time, and avoid obstacles with precision.

A dual-chip system doubles computing power, enabling quicker recognition and smoother multitasking. Cleaning modes adjust to debris weight, while the machine repositions itself to sweep more effectively between its brushes. It also recognizes different types of waste and improves accuracy over time. A scanning and patrol function helps it detect and remove trash quickly, while an internal vibration system clears filters automatically to keep suction strong and downtime low.

The sweeper’s upgraded obstacle avoidance system identifies people, vehicles, and animals, then applies the correct response, whether that means stopping, yielding, or pausing. An IP54 rating protects against dust and splashes, while a water sensor triggers safe-mode operation in bad weather. A 1.2-meter beacon with bright lights makes the machine more visible to pedestrians and drivers, lowering the risk of accidents in crowded areas.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Advancements in spatial perception and AI are enabling robots to move into messy, unpredictable environments and handle them well. This is especially important for service robots, which have to operate across a wide range of spaces filled with clutter and chaos.
