Yamaha Motor Corporation exhibited the MOTOBOT ver.1, a humanoid autonomous driving robot, at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show. Without the need to add special functions to the body, the robot can operate the motorcycle like a human and complete the automatic driving. The motorcycle driven by Motobot is the YZF-R1M (export model) on display. At the time of the experiment in the United States, a straight line at a speed of more than 100 km/h had been completed.
The development of a humanoid autonomous driving robot (MOTOBOT) was launched about one year ago. In addition to motorcycle technicians, skilled personnel who developed industrial robots at Yamaha also participated in the project. The company completed MOTOBOT by blending the vehicle kinetics and electronic control skills of motorcycles with the control skills of industrial robots.
Directions and speed-related instructions are now given by people via wireless means. In FY2015, the company will aim to complete straight lines, serpentine movements, and turns at speeds of up to 100 km/h. In 2017, the company plans to develop performance elements that surpass human handling and complete the course with a maximum speed of more than 200 km/h. YAMAHA ALSO PLANS TO ADD A FUNCTION TO MOTOBOT TO IDENTIFY THE VEHICLE'S POSITION THROUGH GPS AND VARIOUS SENSORS, AS WELL AS MACHINE LEARNING FUNCTIONS, SO THAT IT CAN DETERMINE THE BEST LINE ON THE TRACK AND THE LIMITS OF THE MACHINE'S PERFORMANCE.
HUMANOID AUTONOMOUS DRIVING ROBOTS (MOTOBOTS) ARE EXPECTED TO BE USED IN THINGS SUCH AS JET SKIS AND POWERED SLEDS BECAUSE THEY CAN CHANGE THE SHAPE AND CONTROL PROGRAM OF THE DEVICE FROM THE THROTTLE AND BRAKE TO THE THROTTLE AND BRAKE. In addition to the development of unmanned robots, Yamaha intends to visualize information about the humans who operate and drive the vehicle, and to identify its correlation with the vehicle's movements, with the intention of optimizing motion handling and improving performance and safety, and applying the experience and key skills acquired through MOTOBOT to vehicle development. The company intends to provide users with relevant effects starting in 2020.
The MOTOBOT operates six actuators to move autonomously based on information obtained from vehicle operating conditions such as speed and engine speed, as well as attitude information obtained from accelerometers and gyroscope sensors. Specifically, the robot is equipped with an actuator on the right hand, right arm, left hand, chest, right foot, and left foot, which can exhaustively operate the accelerator, front brake, clutch, steering handle, rear brake, and shift pedal.
The weight of MOTOBOT is about 45kg. When driving, it is a forward position, and the angle of the elbows, knees, and waist is fixed, so it is impossible to stand upright. The vehicle does not have an automatic steering device, but in order to secure the MOTOBOT, the seat was removed and the fixed part was machined. In addition, since the MOTOBOT's feet are combined with the rear brake or shift pedal, it is also equipped with a bracket to prevent the body from tipping over when parking.
