The D7 made its first offline public appearance alongside the PUDU D5 quadruped, which showcased high-speed mobility and terrain adaptation by navigating a complex obstacle course at speeds reaching 5 m/s. The demonstration highlighted the firm's "One Brain, Multiple Embodiments" architecture, where the D7 autonomously coordinated with the D5 to navigate through booth traffic, signaling a shift toward collaborative robotic workflows in real-world environments.

Beyond technical demonstrations, Pudu’s market position remains aggressive. Following a $150 million financing round in April 2026, the company’s valuation has climbed to $1.5 billion, supported by a global market share of 25% in revenue and 23% in shipments. With over 130,000 units deployed across 85 countries, the company reports that international markets now generate more than 80% of its total revenue, pushing the firm toward positive EBITDA as it scales its presence in hospitality, manufacturing, and industrial sectors.
