At Impact 2024 this month, you'll get a chance to demo the newest robot from Piaggio Fast Forward: Kilo. #ILxImpact

Meet the gita Robot, Piaggio Fast Forward's latest innovation in smart mobility! In this exclusive episode of the CTRL+ Listen Podcast, Tyson Phillips, the Smart Behaviors Team Lead at Piaggio Fast Forward, joins host James Sweetlove to discuss the groundbreaking gita Robot. Designed to follow you autonomously, carry your cargo, and make everyday tasks easier, this revolutionary robot is changing how we think about mobility. Tyson outlines the technology behind the robot, including its cutting-edge sensor stack, machine vision, and user-friendly interface.

gitamini and gitaplus are our easy-to-use, high-tech following robots that carry your gear, up to 20lb and 40lb respectively, keeping you hands-free while you live life on foot. They are nimble, lightweight, and compact and are built with what we call “pedestrian etiquette” meaning they move similarly to the way that humans do. Other following robots need a GPS or a tracking device in order to follow its leader, but our robots are different. With first-of-their-kind technology, gita robots use an array of sensors that gather information that allow them to see, understand and react to their surroundings.

“The size of PFF means that our Customer Support team is able to have a relationship with some of our customers, especially the ones who are the most passionate about our products. We’re eager to get good news and bad news from them, but most of all, we love to get the stories about how our customers are using gita robots and PFF technology in the real world. Their feedback has a strong impact on how we improve the current products as well as the decisions we make about new features and new products. With over-the-air updates based on user feedback, gita is always improving. Robots are tested for roughly 1,000 miles before they’re ready for customers.” - Greg Lynn, CEO

A key component of developing our technology products is our Smart Behaviors team. Jeffrey Schnapp, Chief Visionary Officer at PFF says, “the Smart Behaviors team at PFF is responsible for developing designs for robot behaviors, but really we’re about designing rich and intuitive interactions between humans and robots.” As we continue to study and understand the ways that humans can benefit from the support of technology, we also continue to discover meaningful applications for the work we’re doing here at PFF.

With so many people involved in product development, is true alignment ever possible? See what one of our PMs had to say in this new article, and check out our open roles on Built In! #Hiring #NowHiring https://bit.ly/3MWk7gt

Our family of gita robots are a unique collaboration between award-winning robotic engineers, urban planners, and designers. When we develop our technology products, we like to think about how we can augment humans to help them perform a task, rather than creating a robot that does a task for them.

At Piaggio Fast Forward, we are solving the problem of how robots interact with humans in dynamically changing environments. We pride ourselves on building in public, designing first-of-their-kind technology products, such as gitamini and gitaplus,  that become more inventive in the hands of our early users.
