Overview
Kawasaki Heavy Industries of Japan builds Kaleido 9, the ninth generation of its Kaleido humanoid line. It is a human-sized biped designed to use standard human tools and environments without modification. The maker describes LiDAR-based self-localisation and autonomous walking, alongside remote operation through a head-mounted display.
Kawasaki has not confirmed whether Kaleido 9 is on sale, and no price has been published.
Most body figures come from the Japanese trade outlet Mynavi Tech+, not from Kawasaki itself. It reported a height of 1.9 m, taller than the database median of 1.7 m, and a weight of 99 kg. It also reported 30 degrees of freedom, with the hands counted separately, a stereo camera in the head, and a runtime of 30 minutes for the robot body alone, far short of the 180-minute median. BigGo News reported a maximum load of 18 kg. The walking speed of 1.1 m/s that Kawasaki has published belongs to an earlier generation and has not been confirmed for this one. Battery capacity, charge time, processor and safety certifications remain unpublished.
