Robovan: An Experimental Field for Embodied Intelligence in Urban Logistics World Models

If we compare the urban logistics network to a complex biological nervous system, then traditional trucks are the effectors executing muscle contractions, while Robovans are intelligent agents that integrate perception, decision-making, and execution into the same reflex arc. CaoCao Mobility's launch of commercial Robovan operations in Changsha looks on the surface like another implementation of autonomous driving in logistics scenarios, but it actually reveals a deeper signal: embodied intelligence is moving from "world model" simulations in labs to a real-world "capacity-as-a-service" closed loop.
