On Jan. 6, 2016, Yamaha Motor and SRI International announced joint development of first humanoid motorcycle-riding robot. MOTOBOT is designed to ride like a person in order to aid development of future motorcycles, improve motorcycle safety, and push the limits of what is possible in design and performance. The end performance goal of MOTOBOT is to be able to beat MotoGP™ world champion rider Valentino Rossi's lap times around a racetrack.
At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, the Yamaha Motor/SRI Robotics team demonstrated how far humanoid robots have advanced in efficiency and performance, and how industry leaders such as Yamaha Motor can leverage robotics to solve business challenges, create competitive advantages and accelerate innovation.
