The firm says it will use the Motobot to improve rider safety - but also hinted it will 'pioneer new lines of business' with the technology. Called Motobot, the machine has been designed to go around a racetrack at high speeds. Yamaha says it will use it to improve racer safety - but also hinted it will 'pioneer new lines of business' with the technology. Yamaha has refused to reveal many details about the robot, but says it is entirely autonomous. Yamaha Motor's robotics and motorcycle engineers are collaborating with SRI International. Motobot will take on Rossi (foreground, no 46) in 2017. 'This is a strong collaboration as we bring some experience in motorcycle racing and manufacturing robotics and SRI is making contributions to the field of robotics with breakthrough components and systems,' 'This project will be able to push several boundaries: visualizing data about human motorcycle operation, further quantifying the relationship between rider input and machine behavior, and then using the resulting know-how to build even better vehicles.'

The system is able to ride entirely on its own with no input from humans. The robot uses a normal motorcycles, and has special grips and feet to use the existing controls.
'The task of controlling the complex motions of a motorcycle at high speeds requires a variety of control systems that must function with a high degree of accuracy,' the firm added. The firm said it will initially improve motorcycle safety. However, it also said it hopes to use the technology to 'pioneer new lines of business', which could one day see self driving motorbikes taking on cars to ferry 'We want to apply the fundamental technology and know-how gained in the process of this challenge to the creation of advanced rider safety and rider-support systems and put them to use in our current businesses, as well as using them to pioneer new lines of business.'
