In a remarkable fusion of robotics, clean energy, and futuristic design, Kawasaki has unveiled CORLEO, a hydrogen-powered robot horse that is redefining the boundaries of personal mobility. Revealed at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, CORLEO has instantly captured global attention as one of the expo’s most forward-thinking innovations.
Built to mimic the natural gait of a real horse, CORLEO walks, trots, and navigates rugged terrain with surprising grace. Its legs come equipped with advanced shock-absorption technology, while its goat-inspired hooves offer enhanced grip on uneven surfaces. Combined with a powerful AI navigation system, the robot can travel off-road with stability and precision—making it feel straight out of a sci-fi universe.
What truly sets CORLEO apart is its use of hydrogen fuel, offering a clean, sustainable alternative to gasoline or battery-heavy systems. Kawasaki’s engineers say the goal is to develop mobility machines that are both environmentally friendly and inspired by the elegance of living creatures.
Beyond engineering, CORLEO is designed to offer a true riding experience—no reins, saddles, or traditional controls needed. The rider simply sits and lets the AI adjust to terrain and movement, making it feel more like a companion creature than a machine.
For now, CORLEO remains a concept model and is not available for sale. But experts believe it could lead to a new era of off-road exploration vehicles, eco-friendly transport options, and robotic mobility systems that blend seamlessly into natural environments.
