Notable
Ninth-generation Kaleido unveiled at iREX 2025 with reinforced waist/leg joints, a modular end-effector system, and LiDAR plus stereo cameras for SLAM-based navigation. It lifts up to ~18 kg and supports hybrid operation (autonomous walking with VR-headset remote control), aimed at a long-term roadmap toward disaster response.
