Kawasaki Heavy Industries has unveiled CORLEO, a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robot prototype designed for off-road riding. Inspired by the skeletal structure of lions, CORLEO moves on four robotic legs independently, allowing it to navigate rough terrains like rocks, grass, and steep inclines. Riders control CORLEO with their body movements, leaning forward to move ahead and shifting weight to the side for adjustments. The robot is environmentally friendly, utilizing a battery paired with a 150cc hydrogen engine to generate electricity stored in the battery. CORLEO is packed with advanced features like AI-powered navigation, intuitive body movement control, a heads-up display for essential information, and slip-resistant hooves that grip various surfaces securely. Its sleek design, made of durable materials like metal and carbon fiber, is reminiscent of designs from popular video games. Although CORLEO is still in the prototype phase, it represents a new era of off-road transportation where robotics, AI, and clean energy converge. Kawasaki envisions CORLEO as an alternative to traditional motorcycles or ATVs, prioritizing safety, ease of exploration, and sustainability. Despite uncertainties like its speed and range, Kawasaki estimates it may take up to 25 years before CORLEO is commercially available. By showcasing CORLEO, Kawasaki demonstrates its expertise in robotics beyond industrial and educational applications into outdoor adventures. The company's focus on innovation reflects a future where adventure seamlessly integrates with sustainability, potentially revolutionizing outdoor experiences forever.
