The Pudu FlashBot is an autonomous building-delivery robot built for true last-meter logistics inside multi-story properties. Unlike open-tray restaurant runners, the FlashBot carries items in 2 to 4 modular, adjustable compartments and integrates with building infrastructure over IoT to call elevators, open automatic doors, and ride between floors with no staff intervention. That makes it a fit for hotels delivering amenities to guest rooms, hospitals moving supplies between departments, and office towers shuttling packages and documents floor to floor.
Navigation runs on Pudu's VSLAM+ stack, combining three RGB-D depth cameras, a customized LiDAR SLAM module, and an IMU for 3D mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance. The robot detects low obstacles down to roughly 3 cm and overhanging objects around 70 cm, and a six-wheel independent suspension system keeps loads stable over thresholds and uneven floors. An optional UV germicidal lamp supports hygienic delivery of food and consumables in healthcare and hospitality settings.
RobotLAB sells, leases, and supports the FlashBot nationwide as a turnkey deployment — site mapping, elevator/door integration, staff training, and ongoing service included. As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB matches the FlashBot to your building layout and traffic patterns so the robot earns its keep from day one. List price is $28,000, with financing and Robotics-as-a-Service options available.

The FlashBot delivers food, towels, toiletries, and guest requests directly to room doors across multiple floors. It calls and rides the elevator on its own, notifies the guest on arrival, and releases items only after secure handoff verification — freeing front-desk and housekeeping staff during peak demand while creating a memorable contactless guest experience.
Move non-critical supplies, documents, lab samples, pharmacy items, and packaged consumables between floors and departments without pulling clinical staff away from patients. Enclosed compartments plus an optional UV germicidal lamp keep contents hygienic, and multi-floor elevator integration reduces corridor cross-traffic and staff walking time.
In office buildings and residential high-rises, the FlashBot shuttles mail, parcels, and inter-office documents from a lobby or mailroom up to individual floors and suites. Compartment access control with password, phone, or NFC verification ensures each delivery reaches the right recipient in a multi-tenant environment.
Deliver meals, medications, and personal items to residents' rooms across a campus or building, reducing repetitive trips for caregivers. The robot's stable six-wheel suspension and quiet autonomous navigation make it well suited to corridors shared with residents and mobility aids.
Same-day response. We handle delivery, on-site setup, staff training, and ongoing service nationwide.
Yes. The FlashBot integrates with building infrastructure over IoT to call and board elevators, open automatic doors, and ride between floors with no staff intervention — which is the core reason it suits hotels, hospitals, and office towers rather than single-floor restaurant delivery. RobotLAB handles the elevator and door integration as part of deployment. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm compatibility with your building's elevator system.
The FlashBot uses enclosed, lockable compartments with access-control verification (password, phone number, or NFC) and is engineered for multi-floor building delivery via elevator. Open-tray robots like BellaBot are designed for single-floor, in-sight food running in restaurants. If you need secure, contactless, floor-to-floor delivery, the FlashBot is the right class of robot. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to compare.
Pudu rates the FlashBot for up to 12 hours of runtime, with a charge time of approximately 4 hours, and it auto-returns to its dock when the battery runs low. Actual runtime depends on building size, number of floors, and delivery volume. Call 1-87-RobotLAB and we'll estimate uptime for your specific traffic pattern.
Each delivery is released only after handoff verification — the recipient confirms via password, phone-number match, or NFC tap. Combined with enclosed compartments, this prevents mis-delivery and tampering in multi-tenant buildings like office towers and residential high-rises. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss your security workflow.
Yes. It moves non-critical supplies, documents, and packaged consumables between floors and departments, reducing staff walking and corridor cross-traffic. An optional UV germicidal lamp supports hygienic transport of food and consumables. RobotLAB tailors the deployment to clinical and assisted-living workflows. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to scope a pilot.
Yes. RobotLAB delivers the FlashBot as a turnkey deployment: site survey and mapping, elevator and door integration, staff training, and ongoing service and support nationwide. You don't need in-house robotics expertise to run it. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to schedule a site assessment.
Yes. The FlashBot is $28,000 to purchase, and RobotLAB also offers financing and Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription options to spread the cost and bundle support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to compare purchase, lease, and RaaS pricing for your property.
