We first wrote about this mountain-climbing monster in April last year, when it was merely a concept with some bad CGI video. But it seems Kawasaki is now getting serious about its futuristic mechanical quadruped, setting up a dedicated operation – known as the Safe Adventure Business Development Team – and aiming to have the robo-horse up and galloping for visitor use at Expo 2030 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Following that, the plan is to have the mobility vehicles on sale for consumers by 2035.

While it's not quite the same, Kawasaki Heavy Industries has also announced that you'll be able to experience what it's like to ride Corleo – albeit virtually – with a simulator due to be released next year.

"Kawasaki will also develop a riding simulator that enables riding experience of the four-legged mobility vehicle," the company announced. "This riding simulator targets completion by 2027, with plans to deploy the entire system – including motion data, 3D models, and motion data obtained during CORLEO development – to the gaming and e-sports industries."
