Entry Description

gita is a following robot that helps people move easier, further, and longer by carrying up to 40 lb of cargo. It is the first in a new product category that was born out of a vision to create a sustainable mobility ecology with healthy lifestyle choices and social connectivity available to all. While autonomous robots are designed to do things for us, gita is designed to enhance people’s everyday lives and experiences, not detract from them. The user interaction uses just two buttons, but state-of-the-art technology works behind the sleek design to enable the complex following functionality.
