Yamaha Motobot – Yamaha has released a short video about what it calls the “Motobot,” basically a humanoid robot designed specifically to ride a motorcycle. Motobot speaks to Valentino Rossi and announces a plan to surpass the skills of the Pesaro champion.

In the video, Motobot rides a customized Yamaha R1M specially equipped to be managed by the robot itself. The ultimate goal is to not have to modify the bike. The technical specifications, however, have not been revealed, but the robot's voice is very clear: "I'm getting better every day, but I'm not sure I could beat even you when you were five“, as we see images of Rossi as a child. Yamaha said Motobot is capable of racing around a circuit at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour and that the goal is to develop new solutions capable of increase the safety of drivers on the track. At the end of the video the robot raises the gauntlet at number 46: "I am Motobot, I was created to overtake you".

If Motobot were to reach a final release, we could also see other companies get into this particular type of related business pilot safety.
