MOT test
The MOT test, named after the former Ministry of Transport, is the annual roadworthiness and emissions inspection for most vehicles in Great Britain, begun in 1960.
Mota-Engil
Mota-Engil is a Portuguese construction and infrastructure group headquartered in Porto. Founded in 1946, it works in engineering, concessions, waste management, and mining services across 21 countries.
Motatán oil field
Motatán is an oil field in southeastern Zulia state, western Venezuela, producing from Eocene Misoa sandstones; since 2009 it has been operated with the adjacent Barúa field by the Petroquiriquire mixed company.
Motel
A motel, short for motor hotel, is roadside lodging for motorists: a low-rise building of attached rooms whose doors open directly to outside parking, with no lobby.
Motel 6
Motel 6, also called Motel Six, is an American budget motel chain founded in 1962, known for its original $6 nightly rate and its slogan "We'll leave the light on for you."
Moth-flame optimization
Moth-flame optimization (MFO) is a swarm intelligence metaheuristic for numerical optimization, proposed by Seyedali Mirjalili in 2015 and inspired by moths' spiral flight around lights.
Moth-flame optimization algorithm
Moth-flame optimization (MFO) is a population-based metaheuristic for continuous, derivative-free optimization, introduced by Seyedali Mirjalili in 2015, in which candidate solutions called moths move along logarithmic spirals toward flames, the best positions found so far.
Motherboard
The motherboard, also called the mainboard or system board, is a computer's main printed circuit board, to which the processor, memory, storage, and expansion cards connect.
MotherDuck
MotherDuck is a Seattle-founded (2022) serverless cloud data warehouse built on DuckDB, known for hybrid local/cloud query processing, per-user isolated Duckling instances, and about $133 million in total funding led by a16z and Felicis.
Motherless (website)
Motherless.com is a pornographic image and video hosting website founded in 2008 by Joshua G. Lange, later fined by Ofcom and taken offline by Dutch authorities in 2026.
Motion compensation
Motion compensation is a video compression technique that predicts each frame from previously coded frames by estimating object motion, transmitting only motion vectors and residuals.
Motion detection
Motion detection is a computer vision method that identifies moving regions or objects in video by analyzing changes between frames, typically producing a binary foreground mask often converted into bounding boxes and motion alarms.
Motion forecasting
Motion forecasting is the task of predicting the future motion of traffic participants such as vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, letting an autonomous vehicle anticipate conflicts before they occur.
Motion interpolation
Motion interpolation, also known as motion smoothing or video frame interpolation, synthesizes new video frames between existing ones to raise a video's effective frame rate, often causing the soap opera effect on televisions.
Motion planning
Motion planning is the computational problem of finding a feasible, collision-free sequence of states and control inputs that moves a robot or vehicle to a goal state.
Motion primitives
Motion primitives, also called movement or motor primitives, are parameterized, reusable units of movement from which robots compose longer behaviors, inspired by biological motor control.
Motion retargeting for teleoperation
Motion retargeting for teleoperation maps captured human hand and wrist motion onto a robot hand or arm with different kinematics, producing commands the robot can execute within its joint limits.
Motion Twin
Motion Twin is a small French video game studio based in Bordeaux, organized as a worker cooperative with equal shares, known for the 2017 hit action platformer Dead Cells.
Motivair
Motivair Corporation, now Motivair by Schneider Electric, is an American manufacturer of liquid cooling equipment for data centers and AI, headquartered in Lancaster, New York since 1988.
Motive power depot
A motive power depot, also known as a traction maintenance depot or engine shed, is a railway facility where locomotives and trains are serviced, maintained, and stabled.
Moto G (1st generation)
The Moto G (1st generation) is a budget Android smartphone from Motorola Mobility, launched on November 13, 2013 at $179 unlocked and contract-free, which became Motorola's best-selling smartphone.
Moto Guzzi
Moto Guzzi is an Italian motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1921 at Mandello del Lario on Lake Como, the oldest European maker still in production, known for its winged eagle emblem and shaft-driven transverse V-twin engines.
Motor capacitor
A motor capacitor, also called a dual capacitor, is a capacitor wired to an electric motor's winding to create the phase shift that starts a single-phase induction motor; capacitor-start designs roughly double starting torque.
