Yamaha Builds A Robot That Drives Motorcycles and Challenges World Champion Rossi

Yamaha pulled a big one in the Tokyo Motor
Show as it showcased its superbike riding Robot rather than
any showing any ceremonious unconventional motorbike.
Named Motobot, this humanoid is improving every day to give
the champion racers a run for their money.
While others were busy showing
what their automobile has got,
Yamaha displayed a marvel of
engineering and AI at the Tokyo Motor
Show. It wasn't just any superbike or a
green fuel motorcycle, but a humanoid
that could effectively control and zoom on
Yamaha's 1000cc R1M.
As humans were already pissed off of the
fact that machines would take their jobs
becoming a doctor, lawyer and architect,
Motobot and the flavour of the
season, self-driving cars, have taken the
drivers' seat as well.
Motobot is the product of an intense R&D
effort in robotics technology and
Yamaha's aim to create a robot that could
cruise any unmodified bike. And if you are
a rider yourself, you would understand
that this task is no easy.

Yamaha released a video showing
Motobot riding its superbike with ease
and in its childish voice even called out
the MotoGP world champion, Valentino
Rossi as he said, "I am improving my
skills every day. I was created to surpass
you." But, unlike other superstars,
Motobot is quite humble and realises that
he needs to learn from the master to catch
up to him.
The superbike riding robot has caught
every speed lover's attention for the
ultimate battle between the man and the
machine on a superbike. However, the
makers are still working to improve
Motobot skills until it touches 200 kph on
a racetrack.
Yamaha wants to use its state-of-the-
art technology to 'pioneer new lines of
business' which has left many wondering
what could it be! Could we be witnessing a
humanoid MotoGP now?

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.   Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
