But the company has now announced that it’s started to work on turning its ambitious vision into a reality, and decades ahead of schedule. For one, achieving the kind of agility the company showed off in its original marketing video will likely remain an enormous engineering challenge.

Four-legged robots have similarly learned to effortlessly navigate rugged landscapes and even herd sheep. In short, for now we’ll reserve judgment — but we’re nonetheless excited about the prospect of a robotic horse that we can ride into the sunset, not unlike Aloy, the protagonist of the popular video game series “Horizon.”More on Corleo: Kawasaki Shows Off Concept for Rideable Horse Robot
