Going forward, technology for machine position recognition (including high-precision GPS and sensor fusion) and machine learning will be utilized to enable MOTOBOT to make its own decisions regarding the ideal line to take around a racetrack while pushing and adapting to the limits of a given motorcycle's performance. This way MOTOBOT can improve its lap times with each successive lap of the track. Initial trials have begun in closed test areas - these will continue as development progresses.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with Yamaha Motor on MOTOBOT in order to have a significant and positive impact on high-performance vehicle development," added Thomas P. Low. "At CES, we will demonstrate 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."
