magine hopping on a four-legged robot that can take you anywhere—Kawasaki’s Corleo is exactly that, and it’s super exciting! This isn’t your typical robot with wheels; it walks or even hops using four robotic legs with rubber “hooves” that grip onto stuff like rocky hills or muddy trails. Plus, it’s got AI to scan the ground and keep its balance, so you won’t tip over.
The Corleo runs on a 150cc hydrogen engine, which is awesome because it only makes water vapor—no nasty pollution here! It’s perfect for off-road adventures while being kind to the planet. You steer it by leaning, just like you’d ride a horse, and it has sensors that pick up your movements for smooth control. It looks so sleek, too—like a futuristic motorcycle with a head-shaped shield, lights for night rides, and a screen showing your hydrogen levels and directions.

What’s really neat is how Kawasaki describes it: not just a ride, but a “sensory off-road mobility machine” that feels like an extension of you. Kawasaki, the folks behind awesome motorcycles and robots, is thinking big with this one, and I’m here for it!
It’s still a concept, so they’re not sure about things like speed, range, or battery life yet, but they’re aiming for a 2050 release. Some folks are skeptical, saying the promo video looks too computer-made and that building something this wild—like jumping over big gaps—might be tricky. But I think it’s such a fun idea for eco-friendly, go-anywhere travel. Can’t wait to see where this idea takes us!
Actually, To add onto Maximus, not only do we not have the technology for the battery power, our current gen robots come NOWHERE near being that smooth while walking, let alone carrying anything at all. Boston Dynamics is currently at the forefront of robotics technology, and look at how their dog walks? The entire video is a CGI robodog, this is at bare minimum a decade from being feasible as they advertise it.
Things like this are what I wish would happen.
Hey, thanks for your awesome comment! I love your take on robotics tech and how far we still have to go. Do you like this kind of content?
Thanks for your kind words! I’m fascinated by the potential of robotics technology and the journey ahead.
