Overview
A robot can do human functions are normal but is not surprising news that a robot riding a high-speed racing motorbike. Yamaha introduced the first time ever that a robot can perform excellently on riding a motorbike.
This is a different kind of racing concept because it’s between machine to machine. We have seen and heard several man and machine racing. But a robot that can ride is very interesting.
Yamaha brings the concept of this new technology and developed a robot to perform on a motorbike like a human. This is something difficult task but the released videos on the internet and images of the trial confirm that Yamaha has made it possible with great effort.
Robot Riding A Yamaha
A fully autonomous motorcycle-riding robot Motobot 2.0 designed by Yamaha to ride around the track at high speed on Yamaha YZF-R1M. The same kind of motorbike used by racing legend Valentino Rossi rides.
How aggressively should a Motobot race on a scale of zero to 100% and the rest would be better specified by the human? Yamaha did great work and offered unique technology to specify a robot can perform the same way as a human. The motorbike itself looking a modern classic attraction with a top-speed performance on a motorway.
Yamaha achieved its first goal in September when the Motobot 2.0 performed on a racing track and successfully hits a speed exceeding 200km/h. It is 50km/h faster than Motorbot 1.0.
The CEO and managing director at Yamaha Motor Ventures & Laboratory Silicon Valley and the Lead of the Motobot Project Hiroshi Saijou said, “we have experienced multiple major crashes and two were catastrophic”. Nobody injured during this and both saved. Several incidents happened at low speed during the development of Motobot and the testing process.
The scenario behind this creation was to beat a very famous motorbike racer Valentino Rossi but it has not been achieved.
