Gasgoo Munich-The Auto China 2026 has arrived. Intelligence remains the star. Technical routes include driver assistance, autonomous driving, cabin interaction, and unmanned operations. However, the challenge lies in commercialization.
MINIEYE drew attention by launching the Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro. It is the industry's first "true mapless" L4 unmanned logistics vehicle. This accelerates product transformation in unmanned logistics. MINIEYE showcased intelligent driving domain controllers and cabin hardware. It unveiled a cross-device upgrade for its BamBam AI cabin butler powered by OpenClaw. From L1 to L4, and from passenger cars to logistics vehicles, the company uses an AI engine to expand its boundaries.
AI-Driven Smart Logistics: Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro Accelerates Commercialization with "True Mapless" Tech
Visitors gathered at the MINIEYE booth, focusing on the Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro. Its slogan was direct: "True mapless? Look to Bamboo Robovan."
To understand the significance of "true mapless," one must look at the unmanned vehicle industry.
Most unmanned vehicles require high-definition maps. Collecting and updating these maps is costly and time-consuming. Deployment often takes weeks. Furthermore, vehicles may fail in dynamic conditions like road construction. MINIEYE addressed this pain point with the Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro.

The Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro eliminates dependence on HD maps. It offers improvements in performance, cost, adaptability, and efficiency. This lays the groundwork for large-scale commercial use and overseas expansion.
Technologically, the vehicle uses a new-generation L4 end-to-end system with one-stage large-model technology. This allows human-like driving using vision and judgment. With basic navigation maps, the T5 Pro handles complex urban conditions.
The vehicle's self-developed domain controller is fully localized. This secures the supply chain and reduces costs. Lower hardware costs combined with safety redundancy enhance market competitiveness.
Deployment efficiency is noteworthy. The T5 Pro reduces the delivery cycle to hours, enabling rapid deployment. It requires no HD map updates, significantly reducing operational costs. This offers a cost-effective unmanned vehicle.

This reshapes commercial logic. The mapless solution enables a "buy-and-use" model beyond fixed routes. The vehicle supports real-time hailing and dynamic delivery, realizing RaaS (RoboVan-as-a-Service). This opens opportunities in instant delivery.
The mapless solution aids overseas expansion. HD maps involve sensitive data and surveying issues. Regulations vary by country. The T5 Pro's mapless nature bypasses these obstacles, reducing compliance costs and clearing the way for global expansion.
Market performance validates MINIEYE's technical strength. The Bamboo Robovan vehicle launched in September 2025. It has entered 18 domestic cities. It serves scenarios like express delivery and cold chain. It has also expanded overseas, with deliveries to the Middle East, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
MINIEYE is a listed company that migrated from L2 to L4. It achieved commercial verification. This technology migration injects momentum into the industry. The deployment of the T5 Pro demonstrates this capability.
AI-Empowered Smart Mobility: Data Flywheel Effect of L2 and L4 Dual-Line Synergy
The "brain" behind the Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro is the iPilot 4 Max. MINIEYE unveiled this intelligent driving domain controller at the auto show.
Designed for L4 unmanned vehicles, this controller utilizes existing technology. MINIEYE applied capabilities from a decade of automotive mass production. This gives its L4 offerings a higher starting point in maturity and reliability.
MINIEYE also introduced the iPilot 4 Lite and iPilot 4 Plus. The Lite targets daily driving and parking. The Plus supports urban NOA, memory driving, and highway pilot. Its hardware shortens development cycles and offers flexible configuration.
These products form a hierarchy. The Lite focuses on cost-effectiveness for mid-level driving. The Plus emphasizes performance for mid-to-high-end needs. The Max provides computing power for L4 unmanned vehicles. MINIEYE has completed its controller matrix from L1 to L4.
Core support comes from the "AI Data Intelligence Engine" data closed-loop platform. This platform reconstructed the R&D process. It enables continuous iteration of the "L2 + L4 dual-line synergy" strategy.
The data closed-loop is critical. Autonomous driving evolution is data-driven. Every kilometer driven trains algorithms. High-quality data utilization determines leadership in algorithm iteration.
MINIEYE aggregates data from unmanned and passenger vehicles on one platform. This achieves cross-scenario fusion. Data from complex intersections or narrow alleys is collected and processed. This trains large models. Automated pipelines feed capabilities back to vehicles, improving long-tail scenario handling.
MINIEYE formed an evolving closed loop. Mass-production data accumulates, strengthening algorithms and accelerating iteration. This product launch speed increases, assuring stability. The loop acts like a flywheel: more vehicles bring more data, training better algorithms for further deployment.
Scale effects will amplify as data accumulates. MINIEYE has served over 40 OEMs and added 43 projects in 2025. It has entered volume production. With the expansion of the unmanned vehicle business, the AI Data Intelligence Engine will drive iteration. This achieves mutual empowerment between L2 and L4.
AI Reshapes the Smart Cockpit: OpenClaw Onboard Empowers BamBam's Cross-Device Synergy
MINIEYE has also delivered results in the smart cockpit sector.
MINIEYE upgraded its cabin large-model butler, BamBam. The "BamBam Lobster Assistant," built on OpenClaw, drew attention. It reconstructs interaction logic.
Cabin AI was previously confined to isolated functions. Interaction followed a "command-feedback" model. The BamBam Lobster Assistant demonstrates cross-device synergy. It connects to terminals like computers and smart homes.
In business travel, users can edit emails and book schedules via voice commands. The vehicle becomes an office partner.
The "home comfort" scenario breaks barriers between the cabin and home. Users can activate home devices via voice command. MINIEYE builds a scenario-based service system, making transitions natural.
BamBam added an entertainment section. The game "Who is the Undercover" adds fun during rest times. The cabin becomes a space for social entertainment.
These features reflect BamBam's capability iteration. It integrates multimodal large-models to strengthen reasoning. It refines motion capture and behavioral analysis. This supports decision-making in complex scenarios. BamBam reshapes the driving experience through natural interactions.
Compliance is a core competency. As the industry expands globally, regulations vary. Cabin products must meet regional compliance requirements.
MINIEYE exhibited three cabin domain control products. They balance safety and experience. The iCabin 1X integrates hardware and software. It meets ADDW, DDAW, and E-NCAP requirements. It will be equipped on commercial vehicles for overseas markets. DMS and OMS cameras meet A-NCAP 2026 standards.
MINIEYE initiated L3 autonomy DMS development. This is crucial for the impending L3 era. L3 allows drivers to disengage under specific conditions. The system must return control promptly. This places high demands on monitoring. MINIEYE's deployment reflects dedication to cabin safety.
MINIEYE uses AI to reconstruct the smart cockpit experience. It helps global automakers meet regulatory requirements.
Conclusion
MINIEYE demonstrated its "AI engine" capabilities at the Beijing Auto Show. The Bamboo Robovan T5 Pro proved unmanned logistics viability. The iPilot matrix opened the production path from L2 to L4. BamBam redefined cabin interaction. These fronts share AI technology, achieving mutual empowerment and synergy.
This is MINIEYE's strength and competitiveness. As its commercial layout advances, the company moves toward a broader future powered by AI.
