Shelf Monitoring

Spot shelf gaps before your customers do

The BellaBot Pro autonomously travels a defined monitoring route through the store and photographs the shelves with its RGB camera. The images are uploaded to the cloud in real time, where a vision model detects and marks out-of-stock positions. Your store team receives the restocking needs directly in the app – by schedule or frequency, as often as you like.

Autonomous monitoring runs – monitoring route across defined points in front of the shelves, scheduled by time of day or frequency
AI out-of-stock detection – the cloud vision model marks empty shelf positions and stores the photo, point and capture time
Restocking reminders via app – push notification on the monitoring status, image search by device, time, point or out-of-stock status
2 × 2 m per shot – the camera captures the shelf front from a distance of 0.5–0.8 m; longer and taller shelves are covered via multiple points

BellaBot Pro as a mobile advertising medium on a retail floor
In-Store Marketing

Advertising that moves across the floor

Images and videos run on the 18.5-inch advertising display – centred in the customers' line of sight. Instead of waiting at a fixed spot, the BellaBot Pro brings promotions and brands to wherever customers happen to be, extending the reach of your advertising from the promotional stand to the entire floor.

18.5-inch advertising display – attention-grabbing videos and images, matched to the customers' viewing angle
Cloud-managed ad playlists – control content, frequency and order centrally via the Pudu management platform
Mobile shelf – promotional goods on the camera-monitored trays link the advertising message directly to the physical product
Voice announcements & interaction – greetings, prompts and multimodal interaction via light, audio and touch
Serving & Delivering

Serves steadily – even soups and drinks

The vehicle-grade chassis with adaptive, shock-absorbing suspension transports even porridge, soups and drinks without spilling. Tray lighting and a voice announcement show guests which dish is theirs – and visual detection registers the pick-up automatically.

Five operating modes – delivery, cruise, guiding, return and birthday mode for different workflows
Multiple tables per run – four trays with a combined 40 kg payload, the route is optimised automatically
Dish recognition & announcement – recognises dishes via camera and announces names and information (via OTA update since 07/2024)
Adjustable trays – the upper three levels can be adjusted by up to 100 mm, e.g. for drinks or tall goods

Navigation & Safety

VSLAM+ and Omni-Sense: safe across the entire floor

Markerless VSLAM+ positioning maps areas of up to 200,000 m² without modifying the environment – even with ceiling heights of up to 30 m. Two front cameras, three RGBD sensors and one lidar cover the entire front: the robot stops automatically at obstacles and smoothly continues on its way.

Markerless set-up – VSLAM+ cuts installation time by up to 75%, no ceiling markers required
Omni-Sense safety – 2 front cameras, 3 RGBD sensors and 1 lidar for complete obstacle detection at the front
Floor projection at junctions – warns pedestrians in blind spots with projected light patterns
65 cm passage width – handles straight, L- and S-shaped passages as well as tight turning manoeuvres

Pudu BellaBot Pro: premium delivery and advertising robot with shelf monitoring

The Pudu BellaBot Pro is an autonomous delivery and advertising robot with four trays, an 18.5-inch advertising display – and one feature that sets it apart in retail: shelf monitoring. On autonomous monitoring runs it photographs the store's shelves with its RGB camera; a cloud vision model detects and marks out-of-stock positions and reports restocking needs to the store team via the app. In hospitality it plays its classic role: it serves multiple tables per run, uses its camera to detect when a dish has been picked up, and continues its route independently.

salesmotion does not deliver the BellaBot Pro as an "out-of-the-box" device but as a fully integrated solution: our technicians map the floor, define routes and approach points and set up the advertising content. In day-to-day operation, our Munich remote team supports every machine, and the DACH-wide technician network is on hand for on-site call-outs.

What is shelf monitoring on the BellaBot Pro?

Shelf monitoring is automated shelf surveillance by robot. The BellaBot Pro travels a defined monitoring route, positions itself 0.5 to 0.8 m in front of the shelf and photographs the shelf front with its RGB camera – one shot covers around 2 × 2 m; longer and taller shelves are captured via multiple points. The images are uploaded to the cloud in real time, where a vision model detects and marks out-of-stock positions. The app reports the monitoring status, reminds the team to restock and allows image search by device, time, point or out-of-stock status. The restocking decision stays with the store team: the system shows shelf gaps in the image but does not determine SKU, unit count or stock rate. Detection works most reliably on standard supermarket shelving with shape-stable products – without training, the detection rate is around 50%; with about one month of scenario-specific training it exceeds 90%.

What can the BellaBot Pro do in retail?

In retail, the BellaBot Pro takes on three tasks: shelf monitoring, promotion and product presentation. Shelf monitoring runs automatically in the background by schedule or frequency – the robot photographs the shelves, the AI marks gaps, and the store team restocks in a targeted way instead of walking the aisles. In parallel, it works as a mobile advertising medium: images and videos run on the 18.5-inch advertising display, controlled centrally as playlists via the Pudu management platform – frequency and order freely definable. Promotional goods are presented directly on the trays; in cruise mode, the robot travels defined routes and invites customers to help themselves via voice prompts. This way, the promotional space travels with the robot through the entire store instead of waiting at a fixed stand. As the MediaBot XL, we also operate the BellaBot Pro as a bookable advertising medium for advertisers.

How does the BellaBot Pro perform in hospitality?

In its classic role, the BellaBot Pro serves multiple tables per run – with four trays and a total payload of 40 kg. The vehicle-grade chassis with adaptive, shock-absorbing suspension transports even soups, porridge and drinks without spilling. At the table, tray lighting and a voice announcement show guests which dish is theirs; visual detection registers the pick-up and the robot moves on. Five operating modes – delivery, cruise, guiding, return and birthday – cover the complete service workflow.

How quickly is the BellaBot Pro ready for operation?

Thanks to markerless VSLAM+ positioning, there is no need to stick markers to the ceiling – according to Pudu, this cuts installation time by up to 75%. The technology maps areas of up to 200,000 m² and also works with ceiling heights of up to 30 m, for example in shopping centres or market halls. At salesmotion, technicians handle the complete initial set-up on site: mapping, routes, approach points and advertising content. The swappable battery keeps the robot in operation while a second battery charges.

Buy, lease or rent the BellaBot Pro?

salesmotion offers the BellaBot Pro with flexible models – from purchase and leasing through to rental. Which option fits depends on your floor space, use case and term. In a consultation, we clarify location, deployment concept and cost-effectiveness together – calculated conservatively and transparently. Before you decide, we can arrange a demonstration directly on your own floor.
