The Japanese auto major, Yamaha Motor, is exhibiting a revolutionary technology- MOTOBOT Ver. 1 at the 44th Tokyo Motor Show, Japan. It is not a new motorcycle or a new feature for automobiles, but it is an autonomous motorcycle-riding humanoid robot. Yes, it approaches riding operations from a human rider’s standpoint, with no modifications made to the motorcycle itself, isn’t it amazing?
