Kiji X1 rideable robot reaches 14.5 m/s in high-speed demonstration

Dax AI Robotics’ Kiji X1, described as a rideable horse-dog robot, was showcased in connection with the World Humanoid Robot Games. Its legs use self-developed high-torque electric joint motors powered by a high-voltage battery.

The robot was reported to have reached 14.5 meters per second, with claims that it set or broke a speed record. The evidence does not establish whether the record was officially recognized.

A separate video showed the robot crashing at high speed. A barrier was needed to stop the machines, highlighting the safety risks of the demonstration.
