The first product of the company will be a personal cargo robot named ‘Gita.’Charging the robot takes about 3 hours which can easily last a use for up to eight hours at walking speed.

Piaggio Fast Forward is the robot-loving arm of the Italian company. It is pretty pleased with itself too.

The new tech division has unveiled its first product: Gita.

This is a personal cargo robot that is able to haul up to 40 pounds of supplies. It can either follow a map, or its human operator.

It will even keep up with you on a bike as it is capable of trundling along at 22MPH.

As you can probably guess by Gita’s shape, it’ll turn on a sixpence. This should come in handy when weaving in and out of those meat-bag pedestrians.
