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?

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...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security. SMS-based 2FA has a known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to socially engineer an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack using algorithms to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
