All hail the robo rider

摘要

Yamaha has developed Motobot, a motorcycle-riding robot that it hopes will one day match world champions on the racetrack. Under the banner of 'Beyond Human Capabilities', Yamaha said it is using its knowledge of industrial robotics and motorcycles to develop Motobot, which will inform future autonomous systems. The company said mechanism improvements, algorithm enhancement through machine learning and other factors required for high-speed track riding will eventually make other types of high-level riding possible.
