Chaihuo MCVBorn for the Wild, Driving the Future
A mobile AI lab traversing China
Using the Chaihuo Mobile Creative Vehicle as a moving platform, we venture deep into mountains, grasslands, and rural communities to bring AI into real-world scenarios. Over 220 days across China, we test technology in extreme environments, co-create solutions with local residents, and give everyone the opportunity to harness AI.
Connecting technologyto every coordinate
From Shenzhen, the vehicle has crossed three terrain steps and six climate zones, carrying an AI lab into mountains, plateaus, and border towns. Every dot on this map is an experiment run in the real world.

Mobile AI Laboratory
A mobile lab integrating edge computing, digital fabrication, and open experimentation
AI Edge Computing
The van carries edge servers that run AI models without an internet connection. Photos and sensor data are processed on the spot.
Digital Fabrication Center
3D printers, a laser cutter, a CNC machine. From an idea to something you can hold in hours, not weeks.
Open Lab Space
A workbench that seats a few people. We pull into a village, invite people aboard to look, try, and talk. They know better what technology is actually useful.
Journals
One entry per stop, documenting what actually happened on the road
Cities, people, equipment — grown from the real record of each stop.
