Flossie, the motorcycle test robot, is the first indication that we’re all doomed, … OK, maybe not, it’s actually a Castrol developed robot used for testing motorcycle lubricants under all kinds of specific,
extended and sometimes, extreme conditions. It has a self learning capability to get a feel for the clutch, gear change pattern and throttle response and it’s totally oblivious to the noise and heat or cold of the test chamber.
Of course it just rides stationary motorcycles on a dynamometer, there’s that whole vision and balance thing missing but, as technology marches on, you know it’s coming.
I, for one, welcome our new motorcycle robot overlords.
