Kawasaki Heavy Industries is moving its hydrogen-powered four-legged robotic mobility platform, Corleo, from a long-term concept into an active production roadmap. Led by a dedicated Safe Adventure Business Development Team, the project aims to produce a working model within four years. A major public showcase is planned for Expo 2030 in Riyadh, with a full commercial rollout targeted for 2035.

 

The platform blends traditional motorcycle engineering with advanced robotics, allowing riders to steer by shifting their body weight. An integrated artificial intelligence system manages balance and terrain analysis, ensuring stabilization across rocks, steep slopes, and uneven ground. This innovative approach aims to provide a stable and intuitive off-road experience for future users.

 

At its core, Corleo utilizes a 150cc hydrogen engine to generate electricity for its robotic legs, promoting low-emission operation and sustainability. Kawasaki plans to launch a simulator by 2027 to refine the technology and position the system as a practical mobility solution. With GPS mapping and high-tech stabilization, the company is treating the platform as a serious evolution in the future of transportation.
