Kawasaki has been working on a "Robust Humanoid Platform" (RHP) called Kaleido since 2015, and Bex is a "friend" of that program. We believe that the walking technology cultivated in the development of humanoid robots can definitely be applied to quadruped walking robots. That's why we started developing Bex, a quadruped walking robot.
