Flossie, Catrol¢s robot rider
Flossie is the robot rider that Castrol equips for the bike oil tests. It can be fitted on any bike or scooter which is set on the dynometer.
Except that Flossie can learn the gear change pattern, clutch feel and throttle response on any bike, just like a rider will do, the robot gets some real advantages compared to humans: Countless hours on the dyno on extreme temperatures and noise, very high level of precision to the riding commands.
