Yamaha’s Millennial Rev Takes Over the 12th IR Bike Fest at the World Trade Center

Date posted on April 5, 2018

DAY 1 – It’s that time of the year again for the biggest bike fest in the country and Yamaha was ready to give an unforgettable show. The annual exhibition draws all kinds of motorcycle lovers and that’s what Yamaha is all about – offering a product for every rider. This year’s edition of the Yamaha Motor Show prided itself in bringing machines to life with innovative technology and the passionate human touch. A display of how you can own the future with Yamaha.

Wrapped in a solid white fabric, the Yamaha booth was shielded in the early going. With a spectacle shrouded in mystery, it quickly drew a crowd of onlookers eagerly waiting to see what was behind the curtain.

Robi Domingo brought his energy and humor to start the program which was as modernized as it could get. Yamaha officials were called onto a platform where a digital hand print scanner was embedded on the booth cover. As they reached out their hand, the exhibit was quickly and seamlessly revealed. How advanced was this structure? Robi had A.V.A. which stood for Autonomous Visual Avatar, an artificial program that co-hosted alongside him. Together, they symbolized the importance of man and machine in harmony.

The showcase had it all. Performance and sophistication with the MAX series highlighted by the newest model, the XMAX. The power of emotion was unleashed with the big bikes that ignited passion in every turn. It was also a showcase of Yamaha’s newest campaign ‘We are Mio’, a culture created to represent the youthful vibe of being unstoppable with the Mio. The number 1 automatic motorcycles are partnered with the Miollennials – the all new Mio Sporty with BoybandPh, Mio i 125 with Nadine Lustre, Mio Soul i 125 with Drew Arellano, and Mio Aerox 155 with Matteo Guidicelli.

And owning the future did not stop with a culture that defied age norms. Yamaha debuted a technology that will alter the course of riding forever. History was made with the development of the MOTOROiD, Yamaha’s most futuristic concept motorcycle to date. It was a feat of human and mechanical ingenuity that was demonstrated to everyone.

The image recognition AI uses machine learning algorithms for facial and gesture recognition functions. It recognizes its owner’s face and from there the movement of MOTOROiD is controlled through simple hand gestures. It can move forward, backward, turn in every direction, and stop without being physically handled. The Active Mass Center Control System (AMCES), is a technology that stabilizes 2-wheeled motorcycles using electronic active controls to optimize the vehicle’s posture and prevent it from falling.
