Engadget: If you long for the days of leisure suits and Magnum PI mustaches, or are just in the market for audio gear to match your arcade and TV, then Yamaha's new R-S line of receivers might be just the ticket.
Amazon has opened pre-orders for the u[coming Yamaha YC61 61-Key Organ Stage Keyboard.
It's an exquisite challenge. Yamaha and SRI have teamed up to create an autonomous motorcycle-riding robot. Soon they'll pit it against the best human rider on the planet.
Yamahaβs new humanoid robot, Motobot, just learned to ride a motorbike and already itβs talking trash. At the recent Tokyo Motor Show where Motobot was unveiled, it announced that the reason it was created was to simply βsurpass you.β Presumably, that means piloting a 1000cc Yamaha R1M around a racetrack at over 200kmph, and beating MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi.
The voiceover is a tad silly, but the technology is interesting. Maybe Yamaha will team up with Honda at some point considering their pre-existing robotics programme.
