Vespa maker Piaggio has developed an assistant robot, Gita, that can carry up to 40 pounds and follow humans around via innovative sensor technology. The light-blue, spherical robot, which is about the height of a bicycle wheel, maps its environment using video cameras that provide a 360-degree view which is then compared to the view captured from a set of cameras on a belt that is worn by the person it is following, meaning owners can be tracked for some time after they have completed their route. Piaggio has not yet said when Gita will go on sale or what it will cost.
