FOUNDER
Pradeep Manoharan
Founder of DUDU Robots, focused on the business vision, delivery concept and turning the idea into a practical real-world project.
[ THE DUDU STORY ]
Why we started.
What we are building.
Behind DUDU is a simple idea: use autonomous delivery technology to solve real problems in the places where people shop, work and eat — then learn from the real world and keep moving forward.
[ FROM IDEA TO REAL WORLD ]
An idea becomes real when you test it.
DUDU began from our interest in making delivery inside shopping centres and indoor environments more practical. We started exploring how autonomous mobile robots could connect restaurants, retailers, employees and customers without making every delivery depend on a person walking across the building.
Instead of building the story only on paper, we wanted to take the idea into a real environment. That led us toward our work around Centro Commerciale Globo in Busnago and the connection between DUDU, food and retail delivery, technology partners and real operating needs.
01 / IDEA
Start with a real problem
We looked at the everyday movement of food, products and orders inside busy commercial environments and asked how autonomous delivery could make that movement easier.
02 / RESEARCH
Explore the technology
We researched autonomous mobile robotics and looked for technology that could be adapted to the environments we wanted to serve.
03 / USE CASE
Connect DUDU with real delivery
Go Spesa became an important real-world use case for thinking about food and retail delivery, while DUDU developed as the autonomous delivery concept.
04 / BUSNAGO
Move toward a pilot
Our initial pilot focus is Centro Commerciale Globo in Busnago, where the goal is to test the concept in an everyday shopping-centre environment.
05 / NEXT
Learn, improve and scale
Every real deployment should teach us something. The next stage is to improve the operating model, partnerships and customer experience before expanding to other environments.

CO-FOUNDER
Mohana Pradeep
Co-founder of DUDU Robots, contributing to the project vision, operations, communication and the journey from concept to execution.
“DUDU is not just about putting a robot on the floor. It is about asking what should happen next when technology becomes part of everyday life.”
[ THE NEXT FIVE YEARS ]
Prove it. Improve it. Scale it.
Our five-year direction is ambitious, but it is intentionally built step by step. We want to prove the model in real environments first, learn from operations, develop strong partnerships and then expand.
2026
PROVE
Test the initial Busnago use case and learn from real operations.
2027
IMPROVE
Refine workflows, technology integration and customer experience.
2028
EXPAND
Explore additional shopping centres and commercial environments in Italy.
2029
SCALE
Build partnerships with malls, retailers, restaurants, technology companies and brands.
2030–31
NETWORK
Work toward a scalable autonomous delivery network across Italy and potentially other European markets.
