What is the bipedal humanoid robot "Kaleido"?

Kaleido is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kawasaki Heavy Industries).

Kawasaki Heavy Industries has a history of more than 50 years in the field of industrial robots, and is conducting research and development of Kaleido as an industry-academia collaboration project with the University of Tokyo.

Kedeido was unveiled for the first time in the world as far back during the "2017 International Robot Exhibition" in December 2017. After that, it was upgraded, and at the "2019 International Robot Exhibition", they demonstrated its walking ability on a treadmill, eliminating obstacles and carrying out rescuers.
