The wolf-inspired robot, dubbed CORLEO, has four legs designed for navigating uneven topography. CORLEO is expected to be used as an all-terrain alternative to motorcycles as it can be mounted like a horse, thus allowing riders to traverse mountainous areas.

Designed for future all-terrain exploration, CORLEO is powered by a hydrogen fuel cell and a 150 cc engine and it features four independent robotic legs that operate autonomously. Further, the robot also features integrated artificial intelligence (AI) systems for enhanced balance and navigation.
Additionally, CORLEO is designed to respond to the rider’s body movements and it will adjust its steps in real time as the rider shifts their center of gravity. Meanwhile, a heads-up display (HUD) delivers data such as hydrogen levels, navigation details and movement stability, like weight distribution.
The company envisions that the robotic animal might one day replace traditional off-road motorcycles.
