How did Yamaha come up with the motobot?
MOTOBOT fuses Yamaha Motor’s technology gained from developing motorcycles (vehicle dynamics know-how, electronic control, etc.) with technology garnered from developing our industrial robots (robot control, etc.). The various actuators that perform riding operations are precisely controlled and can perform actions similar to a human rider.
Is the motobot a robot or a human?
MOTOBOT is a humanoid robot capable of autonomously riding a motorcycle around a racetrack. In this video, we introduce the background to the project, the technology behind the updated MOTOBOT Ver.2, and the future that Yamaha is aiming for. we will develop higher performing and safer forms of mobility.
What is the end goal of a motobot?
In general, robots are developed to specialize in a specific task, and this allows them to surpass the capability of humans for that task. Utilizing this advantage, the end goal of MOTOBOT is to become capable of competing against Valentino Rossi’s lap times around a racetrack. Your riding is both beautiful and exciting.
How does Valentino Rossi react to the motobot?
The MOTOBOT autonomous motorcycle-riding humanoid robot finally meets Valentino Rossi face to face. How does Rossi react to seeing MOTOBOT riding the YZF-R1M in person? In general, robots are developed to specialize in a specific task, and this allows them to surpass the capability of humans for that task.
What is the end goal of the motobot?
In general, robots are developed to specialize in a specific task and this typically allows them to surpass the capability of humans for that task. Utilizing this advantage, the end goal of MOTOBOT is to become capable of competing against Valentino Rossi’s lap times around a racetrack.
How many actuators does a motobot use?
Based on data for vehicle speed, engine rpm, machine attitude, etc., Motobot will control its six actuators* to autonomously operate the vehicle.
