Autonomy Intelligence Profile
Robot Autonomy Index methodology →The Pudu D9 scores 76/100 on the Robot Autonomy Index (RAI), RobotSniper's 0–100 measure of how little human help a robot needs across navigation, obstacle avoidance, automation, and self-maintenance. That puts it in the Capable tier — solid semi-autonomous performance. Maps and cleans well but needs regular hands-on maintenance — emptying, rinsing, or rescuing.
