# Robotic Motorbikes Aggressive Yellow Motorcycle for Automated Performance By Alexandra Choli | Published 2009-02-11 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-motorbikes-aggressive-yellow-motorcycle-for-automated-performance References: [techie-ideas](http://www.techie-ideas.com/headline/yellow-motorcycle-by-igarashi-design/) & [id-performance](http://www.id-performance.com/) Sci-fi scenarios want robots performing hostile takeovers and assuming control over the human race, but apparently we are going to make it a lot easier for our durable friends. Enter the Yellow Motorcycle, a novel design by Yutaka Igarashi featuring a [high performance motorbike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave) controlled by even higher performance robots. The innovative prototype is driven by a mighty [electric motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-ye-01) with built-in battery cells, while a swinging boom accurately controls steering and balance through its potent hydraulic actuators. The ambitious design claims super speeds and aims to challenge the likes of MotoGP participants. I hate to say it, but I am starting to grow quite envious of those robots; a few months in this world and they are already fixed with the sleekest rides. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Robotic Vehicles:** The increasing development and adoption of robotic technology is leading to new innovations in vehicle automation. - **High Performance Robotics:** The integration of high performance robotic components is leading to faster and more precise control of vehicles and machines. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The use of electric motors and other sustainable technologies in vehicles is creating opportunities for environmentally friendly transportation solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can leverage advancements in robotic technology to create more efficient and cost-effective vehicle manufacturing processes. - **Aerospace Industry:** The aerospace industry can utilize high performance robotics to improve manufacturing processes and increase vehicle performance and safety. - **Robotics Industry:** The robotics industry can explore new opportunities in the development and integration of high-performance robotic systems for vehicle automation and control. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Self-Balancing E-Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-2.md) - [Autonomous High-Profile Combat Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycle-drone.md) - [Self-Balancing Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motoroid-bike.md) - [Futuristic Colorful Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yai.md) - [Custom-Built Sci-Fi Series Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bumblebee-bike.md) - [Quadruped Robot Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suzuki-moqba.md) - [Manga-Influenced Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-ichiban-electric-motorcycle.md) - [High-Performance Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huge-moto-srx-concept-motorcycle.md) - [AR-Equipped Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyelights-rocket-one.md)
