How CC1 helped a large global fitness club improve cleaning quality, reduce labor pressure, and create a cleaner, more attractive member experience.
CC1 is Pudu Robotics’ first commercial cleaning robot for professional floor care, integrating scrubbing, sweeping, pushing, vacuuming, automatic charging, automatic water refill and drainage, gate access, elevator riding, and cross-floor operation in one solution.
In early 2024, the manager of a large global chain fitness club approached Pudu to evaluate robotic cleaning solutions. The brand is known for its high-quality service, full-featured fitness environment, and strong customer reputation. The facility operates 24/7 and includes multiple functional areas such as cardio zones, strength zones, rest areas, reception, and changing-related transition spaces.
| Category | Traditional Manual Cleaning | Human + Robot Collaboration |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning staff | 3 people | 1 × CC1 + 1 cleaner (only for pre-cleaning obstacle removal) |
| Cleaning frequency | 1–2 hours per day, no clear standardized frequency | Multiple area-cleaning tasks scheduled during off-peak hours, achieving one full-floor wash per day |
| Coverage preference | Partial spot cleaning, difficult to achieve full coverage | Cleaner spends 5–10 minutes removing obstacles, then CC1 performs full-route autonomous scrubbing across all designated cleaning areas |
Many gym machines use suspended support frames underneath, which creates obstacle-avoidance blind spots for most robots. CC1 addressed this by using its built-in map editing tools to create virtual walls around all fitness equipment. These virtual walls allowed the robot to recognize equipment zones as protected obstacles and operate smoothly without disturbing users.
The customer wanted the robot to handle multiple floor types in one task, such as tile areas adjacent to rubber or PVC flooring. CC1 supports multiple accessories and adjustable task parameters. For tile and PVC mixed zones, a soft scrubbing roller was selected, with maximum water output, maximum suction, and very low running speed at 0.3 m/s. After several cleaning cycles improved baseline cleanliness, the task was optimized to medium water flow, medium suction, and 0.5 m/s, maintaining clean results on both surfaces.
The deployment significantly improved cleaning quality, reduced labor and consumable usage, and enhanced both member satisfaction and brand perception.
After the gym formally introduced CC1 in the second half of 2024, the human-robot collaboration model significantly outperformed the previous fully manual approach. CC1 enabled full-area daily floor washing without time limitations, automatic charging, and automatic water refill/drainage. This greatly reduced staff pressure and allowed cleaners to focus more on equipment-detail cleaning.
With multiple accessories and task modes, CC1 effectively removed fine dust, sweat stains, dirt piles, and other debris on different flooring materials. Its efficient cleaning technology and controlled water usage reduced water and detergent consumption by nearly 80%, helping the gym strengthen its green and healthy brand image.
Follow-up feedback showed that staff turnover dropped to nearly zero. Management was highly satisfied with CC1’s performance. Nearby families and children often stopped outside to watch the robot “perform,” helping attract new memberships. Existing members also felt the robot made the entire gym feel more dynamic, cleaner, and more attractive.
