# Cainiao Opens Global Warehouse Network for AI Robotics Training and Launches Three-Day Overseas Delivery

> Cainiao, Alibaba’s logistics arm, is offering its worldwide warehouse network to AI and robotics firms for real-world testing and has introduced a three-day international delivery service for technical hardware.

## Key Takeaways (TL;DR)

- Cainiao opens its global warehouse network to AI and embodied-intelligence companies for training, testing and deployment.
- More than 100 proof-of-concept scenarios covering picking, navigation, inspection and auto-parts management are now available.
- A new three-day overseas delivery service targets AI computing and robotics hardware, adding customs, insurance and white-glove handling.

Cainiao, the logistics subsidiary of Alibaba, announced on November 5 that its global warehouse network is now open to AI and robotics firms for real-world training, testing and deployment, and it launched a three-day overseas delivery service for technical hardware [Pandaily](https://pandaily.com/cainiao-global-warehouse-network-embodied-ai-robot-training-tech-export-three-day-delivery).

Cainiao said it has already run large-scale pilots in express delivery, e-commerce, FMCG and auto parts, covering basic parcel handling, mid-range precision picking and long-horizon tasks such as mixed-case packing and complex palletizing. President Xiong Wei noted that most robot testing today relies on costly, slow simulations that often miss operational complexity, and argued that Cainiao’s cross-border network—spanning domestic pickup, international trunk routes and overseas fulfillment—provides a more realistic environment.

The three-day delivery service leverages Cainiao’s global express line, air freight and warehouse network, offering customs clearance, forward and reverse fulfillment, insurance for high-value goods and white-glove door-to-door handling, including scheduled placement and unboxing. It aims to make shipping AI prototypes, demos and small-batch hardware abroad as simple as sending a consumer parcel.

Our read: By turning its extensive logistics infrastructure into a live testing ground, Cainiao lowers the barrier for AI and robotics companies to validate hardware at scale, potentially accelerating adoption cycles while giving the logistics giant deeper data on embodied-intelligence performance in real operations.
