D-Robotics Powers Kago: World's First Rideable AI Outdoor Wagon Now on Kickstarter
D-Robotics powers Kago: the 1st rideable AI wagon. With RDK X5, it follows autonomously, hauls 880 lbs & tackles rough terrain. 10 TOPS edge AI.


Kago has launched its revolutionary AI-powered outdoor wagon on Kickstarter, featuring the powerful D-Robotics RDK X5 at its core. As the first personal transporter of its kind, Kago eliminates the struggle of hauling heavy gear by allowing users to ride alongside their cargo, powered by enterprise-level AI for everyday adventures.For outdoor enthusiasts, the "last mile" from parking to campsite has always meant exhausting back-and-forth trips with heavy equipment. Kago transforms this experience by converting a simple wagon into a multi-functional adventure vehicle that can be ridden, remotely controlled, or set to follow autonomously.
D-Robotics RDK X5: The Intelligent Core Behind Kago's Autonomy
The "brain" behind Kago's autonomous capabilities is its advanced robotics development core, built upon the powerful D-Robotics RDK X5 architecture. This integration is key to its flagship "True Hands-Free" mode. The Intelligent Core enables Kago's groundbreaking mode through three key capabilities:
- Edge AI Performance: Kago's 10 TOPS NPU runs complex machine vision algorithms locally, enabling real-time environment perception and user following without cloud dependency
- Advanced Machine Vision: Dual-camera stereo vision provides robust motion estimation and perception, ensuring reliable performance in low-light and uneven terrain
- Seamless Robotics Integration: The streamlined ROS environment delivers stable performance while powering Kago's smart features from precision remote control to intelligent braking
"We didn't just want to build a better wagon; we wanted to fundamentally change how people interact with their gear outdoors," said the CEO of Kago. "By integrating a powerful, vehicle-grade AI processing core, we've given Kago the ability to think and react to its environment. It’s not just carrying your stuff for you—it’s actively helping you enjoy your adventure with more freedom."
Engineered for Performance and Adventure
Beyond its AI capabilities, Kago delivers practical utility:
- 880 lb (400 kg) payload capacity
- Swappable battery with 30 km range plus device charging
- Puncture-proof tires and IPX6 waterproof rating
- Innovative quick-fold design for easy storage
