Kawasaki Unveils Hydrogen-Powered, Four-Legged Robotic Vehicle at Osaka Expo

The CORLEO prototype combines hydrogen fuel technology, AI-driven mobility, and a wolf-inspired design for off-road exploration, though it remains in a conceptual phase.

Overview

  • Kawasaki's CORLEO, showcased at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, is a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robotic vehicle designed for rugged terrains.
  • The prototype draws inspiration from agile animals like wolves, featuring robotic legs with adaptive hooves for stability on uneven surfaces.
  • CORLEO uses a hydrogen fuel cell paired with a 150cc engine, reflecting Kawasaki's commitment to clean energy and carbon neutrality.
  • A unique control system allows riders to steer the robot intuitively by shifting their body weight, with integrated AI enhancing balance and navigation.
  • While the concept represents a bold vision for future mobility, technical specifications such as speed and range remain undeveloped, with potential deployment envisioned within 25 years.
