Yamaha's AI Motorcycle Picks Itself Up Off the Ground After It Falls - Yanko Design
"Yamaha has long been known for pushing the boundaries of what mobility can feel like, merging precision engineering with a sense of soulful motion. From the expressive MOTOROiD of 2017, which first hinted at a bike capable of self-balance and emotional recognition, to the MOTOROiD2 in 2023 that explored mutual responsiveness between man and machine, the brand's design evolution has consistently blurred the line between artificial intelligence and artistry."
"Unlike conventional motorcycles, it's not designed simply for control; it's designed for interaction. The bike incorporates a sophisticated learning system based on reinforcement learning and Sim2Real technology, allowing it to train in simulated environments before applying its acquired intelligence to real-world conditions. This approach enables the motorcycle to make real-time decisions: balancing, steering, or recovering from a fall without constant human input, showcasing a rare blend of autonomy and responsiveness."
MOTOROiD:Λ is a concept electric motorcycle that learns, reacts, and evolves using reinforcement learning and Sim2Real training. The machine trains in simulated environments before applying learned behaviors to real-world riding, enabling real-time decisions for balancing, steering, and fall recovery with minimal human input. The design incorporates an exposed exoskeleton linking front and rear and a rear chassis capable of rotating up to 180 degrees to express motion and enhance control. The motorcycle can autonomously lift itself upright after tipping. A lightweight, resilient frame supports continuous self-learning cycles and AI-driven self-stabilization.
