Kawasaki not only specializes in large heavy machines, but also has a little understanding of bionic robots. At the International Robot Exhibition, Kawasaki showed this RHP Bex robot manned goat, which left the audience stunned.
Japanese industrial giant Kawasaki showed off a product that shocked four people at the recently held "2022 International Robot Exhibition", a (one? One?) robot goat that can carry people.
Compared with the Boston Dynamics robot dog Spot, which was acquired by South Korea's Hyundai Group, the most important feature of this robotic goat named Bex is that it can carry an adult woman, but this is probably the only feature.
Despite the reverence for Kawasaki, this robotic goat is clumsy and slow, and its shape is full of incomprehensible cumbersome designs.
The design of the Kawasaki Bex was inspired by the Ibex (wild goat), a species native to Eurasia and Africa, characterized by towering horns and long whiskers, capable of living in steep mountains. Kawasaki wants to build a machine carrier that can adapt to complex terrain, although it is still unclear how Bex will overcome difficult terrain.
The upper body of Bex adopts a completely modular design, so the goat shape is just a shape. Considering that it can carry about 100 kilograms of goods, if there is a commercialization day, it should be designed into a flatter shape to store things and then transport materials to remote construction sites. Bar.
If you need to move quickly, Bex can bend all four feet and use knee wheels to move without stepping slowly.
Kawasaki started the "Kaleido Program" in 2015 to create a humanoid robot, which was exhibited in 2017, hoping to be used for disaster relief and emergency response. This time the robot goat is a by-product of the extension of the Kaleido Program.
Although Bex looks awkward now, maybe a green livery with the word "Ninja" will give him a big speed boost. The robot goat is also reminiscent of the "Pepper" developed by Softbank for many years. Its main function is to deter children from running around in the store. Judging from the appearance of the robot goat Bex, the scare resistance should not be bad.
