Pudu Robotics · #1 in Cooking
Autonomous food running and table service in restaurants, hotels and cafes
DINERBOT T10 is Keenon Robotics' flagship server robot: a four-tray, 40 kg-payload delivery robot with a 23.8-inch advertising screen and a movable expressive head. Introduced in 2023, it is commercially available worldwide through Keenon's distributor network and runs in restaurants, hotels and supermarkets. Its 59 cm minimum passage width and dual-lidar, four-camera sensor stack let it work in tighter dining rooms than most competitors.

Our take
The T10 is BellaBot's most direct rival, and its edge is practical: the tightest aisle clearance in its class and a large ad screen that gives it a second job as in-venue media. Keenon's SoftBank-backed scale means parts and support are rarely an issue in major markets. Weigh distributor quality locally — pricing and service vary widely by region since Keenon publishes no list price.
Best suited for
- Food delivery and dish return in restaurants with narrow aisles
- Hotel room-service runs and lobby guidance
- Revenue-generating in-store advertising on the 23.8-inch screen
DINERBOT T10: common questions
How much does the Keenon DINERBOT T10 cost?
Keenon does not publish a list price; the T10 is quoted through regional distributors. As a reference point, Australian reseller Sonny Robotics listed it at AUD 12,295 in 2026 — expect pricing to vary by market and service package.
What can the DINERBOT T10 carry?
Reseller spec sheets list a 40 kg load capacity across its open trays, with plate detection and an elevated chassis for stable delivery of soups and drinks.
How narrow a space can the T10 navigate?
Keenon rates the minimum passage width at 59 cm, which is tighter than most competing server robots and suits dense dining rooms.
DINERBOT T10 vs Pudu BellaBot?
Both carry about 40 kg and are proven at scale. The T10 offers a narrower 59 cm clearance and a 23.8-inch ad screen; BellaBot counters with its famous cat persona and Pudu's larger installed base. Local distributor support usually decides it.
Does the T10 cook food?
No — it is a delivery and service robot. It transports food, buses dishes and plays advertising; it does not prepare food.
