Auto blipper is similar set up, except when you press/lift the gear lever it automatically blips the throttle a preset amount to take load off the transmission and allow it to change into the lower gear.
These can be set up with relatively simple timing software.
The auto blipper obviously requires a fly by wire throttle. Which most newer bikes have.
The actual hardware inside the gear box is no different.

Clutch is there for a reason. I kind of reckon the manufacturers probably know best and it seems like a waste of money if you don't use it. If you can't manage the bike while you pull the clutch in and blip the throttle to down change you should probably be riding a scooter.
Twist of the wrist is written by a bunch of masturbation marketers who want to make you feel like a superbike racer. It's all a wank and really....on the road....who cares.
Cynical old fart signs off..........
I do see the advantage of having traction control, anti lock brakes and slipper clutches on road bikes for the ham fisted noobs that can't ride but insist on riding 180HP weapons, though.
