A robot that you ride like a horse is being developed. It will stretch current limits of engineering.

Kawasaki has recently revealed its computer-generated concept for the Corleo, a “robotic horse”. The video shows the automated equine galloping through valleys, crossing rivers, climbing mountains and jumping over crevasses.

The Corleo promises a high-end robotic solution to provide a revolutionary mobility experience. Kawasaki’s current motorbikes are constrained to roads, paths and trails, but a machine with legs has no boundaries – it can reach places no other vehicles can go.

But in the case of the Corleo, how feasible is it to achieve such a level of agility and balance, while safely carrying a human through natural environments? Let’s discuss what would be needed to achieve this…

fk have these jokers never heard of a spiral wing craft deity damn this too

Sounds like a fantastic concept to me. The science fiction concept of mechs and exoskeletons etc about to be brought to life.

In my current state, i would need a robot horse or robot exoskeleton to go for bush walks any longer than one or two hours before my foot starts hurting.

Horizon Zero Dawn…

You don’t have to wait, just get one of these, they are available right now. I think they’re powerful enough to carry a person, not sure though.

Looks a bit CGI or AI to me.

There is also the question of finance of course.

Does look a bit magical, but we would have said that about the existing robots not so long ago.

I just hope they remember to ensure it doesn’t start installing system updates while leaping a crevasse.

I don’t know about leaping a crevasse.

But you’d be the talk of the town of you got one to go down the IGA or BWS for your weekly shop.

I suppose they’d require riding tests and licences.

i’d say as long as you’re properly dressed in village cloths it should be no problem. The robot horse should navigate and avoid all obstacles on its own, any accident people would have to sue the manufacturer.
