CORLEO

JapanReleased: 2025
Last updated:
CORLEO is Kawasaki’s rideable four-legged concept, a new kind of off-road personal mobility that pairs the fun of riding a Kawasaki motorcycle with the go-anywhere ability of a legged robot. The rider sits on a saddle with stirrups and handlebars and steers by shifting body weight, while sensors read the rider’s movements and keep the machine and rider moving as one. Each of its four legs is driven separately and ends in a split rubber hoof, and the rear leg unit swings independently like a motorcycle swing arm to soak up shocks. A 150 cc hydrogen engine generates the electricity that powers the legs, and a dash displays the hydrogen level, the route to the summit and the machine’s balance. Revealed at Expo 2025 Osaka as a vision for 2050, Kawasaki has since begun development toward commercialization, with a working prototype targeted around 2030.

Kaleido 8.0
By: Kawasaki
Launched: 2023
Kaleido 8.0 is the eighth generation of Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Kaleido humanoid, part of its Robust Humanoid Platform programme for robots that can work in tough real-world conditions. The 180 cm biped weighs 80 to 86 kg; version 8 added direct-drive motors in the waist and elbows for durability and a head projector that shows facial expressions, and at iREX 2023 it demonstrated tasks on a stage set up as an evacuation centre.
CP110L
By: Kawasaki
Launched: 2026
The CP110L is a high-speed palletizing robot from Kawasaki's CP series, featuring a 110kg payload capacity and maximum reach of 2505mm. It achieves industry-leading handling capacity with up to 2200 cases per hour (60kg load including hand, 400mm up/down, 2000mm horizontal). Compact design includes the smallest ceiling height requirement (2242mm max reach point) and turning axis interference radius (453mm) in its class, enabling installation in space-constrained sites. First 110kg-class palletizing robot with hollow wrist structure for internal cabling, reducing interference and installation time. Offers wide motion range (vertical 2433mm), standard power regeneration for energy efficiency, and floor mounting. Ideal for logistics palletizing, supporting higher stacks and larger pallets with 4-axis freedom and ±0.05mm repeatability
Kawasaki BX200L (spot welding)
By: Kawasaki
Launched: 2011
The Kawasaki BX200L is a high-speed, heavy-duty articulated robot designed primarily for spot welding and material handling. It features a hollow wrist for cable and hose management, enabling the use of large weld guns. With a 200 kg payload and a reach of 2,597 mm horizontally and 3,420 mm vertically, it excels in automotive assembly lines and other industrial applications requiring precision and speed. Its advanced servo welding gun control and automatic calibration optimize acceleration and deceleration, enhancing welding quality and cycle times. The robot’s robust yet lightweight arm design ensures flexibility and efficiency across multiple manufacturing tasks.
