Meet Motobot: Yamaha's Motorcycle-Riding Robot

[HardOCP News]

Seriously, doesn't anyone watch movies anymore? Thanks to Yamaha, robots are going to KILL US ALL!

For both a testing point and the ability for a disabled person to somewhat "experience" riding a cycle...this is amazing.

Is that Alameda? Between this and Mythbusters it's a bit of a nerd paradise!

The talking child robot voice was creepy. Creepy stupid, not creepy scary.

In the future I can see humans buying their adopted robots motorcycles, cars, etc. Would be awesome to stage races for them and bet against other contestants.

Call me when KITT is shipping (either the 2000 or the 3000 model is fine, though I think I would prefer the 3000 model)

Keep trying robot. Going to take a lot more skill than that to beat 9 time world champion Valentino Rossi!
