BOSTON — A new branch of the company that manufactures the Vespa scooter has created a cargo robot that can follow the user around and carry goods in its compartment.
Piaggio Fast Forward, based in the U.S., has unveiled the robot named Gita. It is 26 inches tall and can carry up to 40 lb of cargo. It can travel at bicycle-like speeds of up to 22 mph.
According to the New Atlas, the user has to wear a white belt, which is equipped with a forward-facing camera. Gita is connected to the belt by sensors. It relies on Simultaneous Localization and Mapping technology as well as the camera system to create a map of the surroundings. The robot can make a trip to the same location by itself using the map that it created.
Gita will be officially launched in the U.S. on February 2.
