The latest rolling delivery bot may not have arms to unload the goods, or articulating legs to tackle challenging obstacles, or even work in tandem with a robo-flyer. But the Robovan W5 does boast “autonomous capabilities and substantial cargo capacity.”
Developed by China’s WeRide, the W5 is reported to have the largest cargo capacity its class – which translates to 5.5 cubic meters (194 cu ft) of space for a payload weighing up to 1,000 kg (~2,200 lb). The cargo area is also modular in nature, and can be fitted out to support various business needs.
The unmanned delivery solution is capable of Level 4 autonomy, leveraging company know-how gleaned from almost 40 million kilometers (a little short of 25 million miles) of autonomous driving on public roads via its fleet of robotaxis and other vehicles.
