> A company spokesperson indicated that Corleo is a long-term vision, with a potential market release by 2050.

The video looks all cgi. Headline bait.

Absolutely. This is a flight of fantasy. Just being able to imagine something doesn't really cut it for concept items any more - you've got to have something vaguely functional you can demonstrate before it's worth seeking external attention.

It’s not even good CGI!

As mentioned in other comments, this is just a concept, they haven’t built it

But it’s a pretty cool concept. Video here:

The mounts in the Horizon games on PlayStation are even better as a concept, as they let you actually try it on. And they're probably as close to implementation as this.

This is just CGI of an idea somebody had, no part of this exists yet. Its no different than if some random grad student made a video of a flying car concept that they thought of while binging old sci-fi.

Many of the comments are getting this wrong. This video is CGI-generated. However, a prototype exists but all it can reportedly do is stand up and balance itself at present.

Yeehaw! That's one spectacular failure mode.

> The company has confirmed the use of a 150cc hydrogen motor that generates electricity to drive the robot’s four legs.

Is hydrogen a better way to store electricity than just batteries? This seems awfully roundabout.

My dreams of a real-life Giddyup Buttercup are finally coming true…in 25 years. Hydrogen powered? Seems about as realistic as a Fallout-style nuke-powered one.

You could always get a hay-powered one.

The Chevaline! It's probably possible to build The Primer, and the John Zaibatsu doesn't seem very outlandish too.

But guys, that book wasn't a manual.
