Kawasaki\u2019s \u201cMobile Instincts\u201d pavilion at the international design event highlighted CORLEO, an electric horse powered by a hydrogen engine.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no real footage of this very early prototype, which won\u2019t actually become available until, in theory, 2050 \u2014 at the earliest. But, Kawasaki did release a concept video using CGI rendering. It depicts a dreamlike landscape reminiscent of fantastical Japanese video games, and filled with robot horse riders gingerly riding through an Alps-like mountain range.<\/p>\n<p>It should come to no one\u2019s surprise that this immediately captured the internet\u2019s imagination. I mean, it\u2019s a robot that leverages Kawasaki\u2019s motorcycle expertise and advanced robotics to create a techno-steed capable of traversing rugged terrain.
