Oyogist.com has learnt that China’s biggest e-commerce player Alibaba Group Holding has unveiled an autonomous logistics robot aimed at bringing down the cost of last-mile deliveries.
Xiaomanlv, which translates into English roughly as ‘little competent donkey’, can deliver as many as 500 packages a day to one designated community or campus carrying 50 packages at a time. It can also cover 100km on a single charge.
Chinese e-commerce giants have been ramping up development of robots during the pandemic to limit human contact and prevent the spread of Covid-19.
