Bex
Rideable robot goat
How does it work?
Japanese manufacturer Kawasaki unveiled Bex, its rideable robot goat, to over 140,000 visitors to the 2022 International Robot Exhibition, the world’s largest robot trade show, which was held in Tokyo March 9–12.
Why is it needed?
Bex seems to be utility- and leisure-based. Bex can carry up to 220 pounds and would be ideal for large factories, farms, or large factory farms. The upper body is modular, allowing owners to remove the goat section for added utility.
How does it improve life?
Kawasaki knows labour equipment is essential and evidently plans to push forward with non-humanoid advancements such as Bex, the prancing robot goat.
