Yamaha’s Motobot takes on Rossi
It looks like the robots aren’t ready to ta🎉ke over just yet. At least not while Valentino Rossi’s around.
Yamaha’s motorbike-riding robot, called Motobot, took on Rossi at Thunderhill Raceway Park, Califorღnia, and finished more than 30 seconds behind the nine-𒈔time GP world champion.
Mo🀅tobot’s lap time was 115.5 seconds, while Rosไsi managed 85.74 seconds on a similar R1M.
Motobot ༺has been in development for three yeaꦯrs – with the odd crash along the way, the video shows.

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