Bex is a robotic ibex created by Kawasaki and modeled after the ferociously horned type of goat found in various hilly parts of Africa and Eurasia. Bex made her maiden appearance at iREX in Japan this week, and we should discuss why a Kawasaki robot ibex exists today, other than the fact that it’s just so dang fun to say out loud. Since 2015, Kawasaki has been working on a “Robust Humanoid Platform” (RHP) named Kaleido, and Bex is one of the program’s “friends.” Bex looks to feature a hybrid mobility system featuring knee wheels on which it may kneel to move more swiftly on smooth and level terrain. It’s also worth mentioning that Bex has a seat and handlebars (! ), as well as the ability to transport up to 100 kg.
