In 2017, the rider robot MOTOBOT developed by Yamaha Corporation raced on the track with Italy racer Valentino Rossi, world champion of the MotoGP World Championship nicknamed Peter Pan.
IN THE END, MOTOBOT LOST THE SPEED RACE BY ABOUT 30 SECONDS, AND JUST BY SEEING THE ROBOT RUNNING ALONG THE COURSE, YOU FEEL THAT THE FUTURE IS IN FRONT OF YOU.
The capture in the actual operation of the robot is not CG.
THE MOST SURPRISING THING IS THAT THE SEAT UNDER THE MOTOBOT IS NOT SPECIALLY MODIFIED. This robot actually rides on a motorcycle, just like a human.
MOTOBOT senses its surroundings through sensors, calculates how to adjust the center of gravity, stabilizes the body, and adjusts the size of the throttle while examining the wind resistance of the road conditions, changing its posture, and seizing the moment to brake when cornering.
According to Hiroshi Nishijo, the head of the Yamaha MOTOBOT project, the project was born to push the limits, and the research and development process can be said to be difficult. At the same time, however, the results of this project are of great importance for the entire locomotive industry: the addition of automation functions to commercial motorcycles makes motorcycle driving easier and safer.
For example, Yamaha's MOTOBOT can ride smoothly at low speeds of up to 15,000 miles, and its all-electric rival, Nissan's RidingAssist-e, can keep the body upright when the turtle speed comes to a complete stop, a micro-motion of the motor to manipulate the tires and another path opened up another path by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, a well-known motorcycle manufacturer, to develop an AI-powered voice-activated assistant like Siri that helps riders grasp environmental information and monitor whether the rider is paying attention in real time.
Nissan's RidingAssist-e has excellent balance at low speeds and at a standstill, but it requires a significant overhaul of the body to achieve compatibility.
OF COURSE, YAMAHA'S MOTOBOT DOESN'T NEED TO THINK ABOUT RIDER SAFETY AND WHETHER THE INTERFACE IS USER-FRIENDLY. It has only one goal in mind – to travel faster. ON THE STRAIGHT TRACK, MOTOBOT HAS ACHIEVED A HIGH-SPEED BIKE WITH A SPEED OF 200 KM/H, BUT IN A SPEED RACE AGAINST THE WORLD CHAMPION, IT IS NECESSARY TO LEARN THE GRASP OF EXCESSIVE BENDING, BUT IN THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS DIFFICULTY IS OVERCOME.
Unlike other autonomous vehicle concepts, MOTOBOT can only drive on professional routes, regardless of traffic conditions, pedestrians, and other unexpected factors, as long as it can correctly locate itself on the upper half of the body on the pre-loaded route map
