BOSTON, MA (USA) – May 2, 2025 — Just in time for May the 4th, Piaggio Fast Forward™ (PFF), the innovative robotics company revolutionizing mobile technology solutions, proudly announces the launch of G1T4-M1N1— a special edition gitamini® developed in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm. G1T4-M1N1 is launching as part of the Star Wars Power the Force campaign, which spotlights must-have products and innovative offerings that power fans' imaginations. G1T4-M1N1 blends classic Star Wars™ iconography with cutting-edge smart behaviors technology to customize the smallest of PFF's cargo-carrying robots for fans looking to create an immersive Star Wars experience wherever they go.
Like all gita robots, G1T4-M1N1 follows its leader with the push of a button. Users can simply turn around and begin their journey while their droid autonomously follows behind. Equipped with an array of cameras and sensors, the droid will identify its leader and traverse surroundings with what PFF calls “pedestrian etiquette,” ensuring smooth navigation around obstacles with comfortable following distances.
The PFF team conducted extensive Star Wars research to create an out-of-this-world experience by combining gita’s existing features with the iconic astromech aesthetic from the Star Wars galaxy. Each design detail has an intentional function, inspired by the franchise's beloved robotic companions.
G1T4-M1N1 highlights:
- Special Star Wars features including custom droid sounds and light patterns that communicate status updates such as pairing mode, park mode, battery level, and more. G1T4-M1N1 also features new sound designs which include audio responses to changes in its leader’s behavior, such as acceleration, deceleration, idling, and more.
- Custom Star Wars decals on the exterior panels and interior cargo bin of the robot.
- Connectivity through the mygita® app, where users can name their droid, check battery status, and stream music via the built-in Bluetooth speaker.
- Cargo capacity up to 20 lbs.
- Cargo bin dimensions of 9 x 16.5 x 18.9 inches.
"Collaborating with Disney and Lucasfilm on this Star Wars-inspired robot was a natural fit because their legacy of creative storytelling aligns perfectly with our team’s mission,” says PFF CEO Greg Lynn. “PFF turns everyday outings into opportunities for connection and exploration—much like the best stories do. Star Wars has inspired generations with its imaginative worlds and futuristic droids assisting humans with everyday tasks, matching our vision for the future of robotics.”
