• Download List: You can select the voice package whichisauthorized by the cloud platform for the robot.
Speed
The robot's traveling speed, return speed, and cruising speed can be adjusted on the basis of the actual needs for use. The traveling speed, return speed, and cruising speed are defined as follows:
• Traveling speed: The speed at which the robot travels to the destination;
• Return speed: The speed at which the robot returns from any point to the docking location;
• Cruising speed: The speed at which the robot travels when acting as a patroller;
Range of speeds: 0.1m/s (0.33ft/s)~ 1.2m/s (3.93ft/s)
In addition, in order to ensure the smooth delivery of items, you can enable the “Steady
Mode” switch in the Speed Settings. Once the switch is enabled, a “ ” icon will appear on the screen in all modes. Tap this icon to enable Steady Mode. In Steady Mode, the robot runs more smoothly.
Charging settings
In this section, you can set automatic charging configuration on your need.
(1)The switch of automatic self-charging
If there is a charging pile set in the robot map, this switch will be turned on by default. When enabled, the low battery threshold of the robot can be set (the setting range is 5%~50%). When the battery is lower than this threshold, the robot will automatically go to the charging pile for charging.。
(2)Customize time slot for automatic recharging
The automatic charging time period of the robot can be customized, and the robot will only perform the recharging task in the set time period. There will be a time period of "00:00~23:59" in the machine by default. You can also click the "+" symbol to add the time period, and you can open/close each time period through the switch.
When multiple time periods are opened at the same time, the robot will perform automatic recharge if the current moment belongs to any of the open periods.
(3)Select charging pile
If multiple charging pile points are set in the map, you can select the charging pile that the robot automatically charging here.

Pudu Pager can be configured here. For specific deployment methods, please contact technical support.
- Call Settings
There are other settings on Calling Fuction：
Response call：When enabled, the robot can respond to calls from Pudu Beeper and 4G Watch.
Call arrival confirmation：When enabled, you need to click robot manually to let it return home page, after the robot reaches it call point.
Setting for the auto complete time of call arrival：When enabled, After the robot reaches the point, it will start counting down based on the set time. After the countdown ends, the robot returns to the original page. In addition, if Call arrival confirmation is on，the robots will still remain on the call arrival page after the countdown ends.
Call waiting time：When enabled, the robot will start counting down based on the set time, and will only execute the call task after the countdown ends, after receiving a call task.
Version Updates
When the robot is connected to the network, it can check whether there are version updates. If a new version of the robot software is available, there will be a red dot prompt next to “Version Update” as a reminder to perform the update.
After tapping Update, the robot will download the installation package and a prompt for the download percentage prompt will appear. Once the download is complete for the installation package, the robot will automatically restart.
caution
When performing version updates, please ensure that the robot has at least 20% battery remaining.
Please do not manually turn off the robot while performing a version update.。

Detailed Description:
- Task Parameter Settings
There are two items under the Task Parameter Settings:
Enable the right-most switch for “Automatic Return Time after Removing Items” and enter a number in the text box (input range of 1-600, default of “30,” units: seconds) so that, after arriving at a destination, the robot will wait for the period of time input; once the time period ends, it will automatically complete the task.
For “Automatic Resume Time on Pause,” enter a number in the right-hand text box (input range of 5-600, default is “20,” units: seconds) so that the robot will switch to the pause interface if the screen is tapped while the robot is running. The device will then perform a countdown based on the duration set here, and once the countdown ends, it will automatically execute the next task.
- Display emojis during delivery
When this function is turned on, only emojis are displayed on the delivery map, and the
specific destination name is not displayed.
- High operating speed
When this function is enabled, adjustable speeds within the range of 1.0 m/s~1.2 m/s (0.33 ft/s–3.93 ft/s) are displayed in the Speed Settings.
- Default input method
The default destination input method can be selected for each mode. There are two input methods:
- Direct Destination Selection: The destination list is in a tiled display in the window on the right side of the interface, and you manually and directly find and select the table number.
- Smart Destination Search: The robot automatically extracts the first character of all destination names for display, and gradually filters out the destinations by screening the characters as you proceed.
On the “Settings” - “Advanced Settings” page, under “Default Input Method,” you can select the default input method.
Each time you access the main page for each mode, the destination input method defaults to the input method selected in the Advanced Settings. Of course, you can modify the input method for selecting a delivery destination by tapping on the “” button on the right side of the Delivery Mode home page.
- Select tray quantity
The number of trays can be selected according to the actual number of pallets actually assembled by the current robot. The selection range is 1 to 4. After modification, the number of trays in the robot schematic diagram on the left will be changed accordingly on the home page of each mode.
- Path blocking Settings
When "Path Blocking Setting" is enabled, if the robot encounters continuous obstruction during the task, it will trigger path replanning.
- Replanning route time: When the robot continues to avoid obstacles for the set time, path re-planning is triggered, and other paths on the map are selected to attempt to reach the target point. The time setting range is 10~600 seconds.
- Blocked Path Locking Time: When the robot triggers path re-planning, the current blocked road will be marked as "unavailable". After the set time in this parameter, it will automatically be restored to "available". The time setting range is 30~600 seconds.
Tray Adjustment
The position of PuduBot 2’s trays can be adjusted according to the actual situation, with a total of 7 optional positions: During tray adjustment, the screen printing numbers (from back to front) on the tray's fixture should be the same as those on the robot (from top to bottom) so that all trays' outer edges are vertically aligned.
Docking Instructions
PuduBot 2 supports three docking modes. In actual scenarios where multiple robots cooperate, users can select any docking mode during mapping. This section only covers the description of the three docking modes. For details about mapping, please contact our technical engineers.
Three docking modes:
- One-to-one Docking mode: Each robot has its fixed pickup location (docking location).
- Free Docking mode: Set multiple pickup locations (docking locations) for the robot to dock by priority, i.e., the robot chooses the nearest pickup location for docking.
- Waiting mode: Set temporary docking location. When the robot has no task and there's no vacancy at the pickup locations (docking locations), the robot docks at the temporary docking location. Once a vacancy appears at a pickup location (docking location), the robot automatically goes there for docking.
