Yamaha’s Motobot takes on Rossi
It looks like the robots aren’t ready to take over just yet. At least not while Valentinoও Rossi♊’s around.
Yamaha’s motorbike-riding robot, called Mot🎀obot, took on Rossi at Thunderhill Raceway Park, California, and finished more than 30 seconds behind the nine-time GP world champion.
Mo🅠tobot’s lap time was 115.5 seconds, while Rossi managed 𝐆85.74 seconds on a similar R1M.
Motobot has been in develop♛ment for three years – with the odd crash along the way, the video shows.

While it clearly still has a long way to go before achieving its𒁏 goal to “surpass” Rossi, the technology is likely to be used to improve rider aids for humans, such traction as control.
