Is Kawasaki’s crazy horse robot idea actually a stroke of genius?

by

When Kawasaki first unveiled its concept of a robotic horse, many people may have thought of it as not much more than an interesting – or even fascinating and alluring – curiosity. But curiosity nonetheless.

However, when we look at the idea more closely and remind ourselves how globally successful Kawasaki is in the motorcycles market – and indeed the industrial robotics market, we start to take the idea of a hydrogen-powered robotic horse more seriously as a market proposition.

Kawasaki is a globally recognized leader in the motorcycle industry, known for its high-performance bikes and engineering innovation. As a division of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, its Powersports & Engine segment encompasses motorcycles, ATVs, personal watercraft, and engines, contributing significantly to the company’s bottom line.

Kawasaki unveils hydrogen-powered robotic horse that you can ride

by

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has unveiled Corleo, a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robotic vehicle designed for riders, at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025. This innovative concept integrates artificial intelligence and clean energy technologies to navigate diverse terrains. ​(See video below.)

Corleo’s four independent robotic legs enable balanced and stable movement across various surfaces. Each leg operates separately, allowing the robot to traverse rough and uneven terrain with ease. ​

Equipped with a 150cc hydrogen engine, Corleo generates electricity to power its limbs. This clean energy approach positions the robot as an environmentally friendly off-road mobility platform. ​ [Read more…] about Kawasaki unveils hydrogen-powered robotic horse that you can ride
