On Star Wars Day, Disney is rolling out new merchandise for fans, and this year’s highlight is a sophisticated droid developed in collaboration with robotics company Piaggio Fast Forward. The G1T4-M1N1 droid, a limited-edition version of Piaggio's gitamini cargo robot, is designed to be both dependable and eager to please—a fitting tribute to R2-D2. Inspired by the beloved astromech droid, the G1T4-M1N1 comes equipped with a range of modern features. It includes Bluetooth speakers for streaming music, cameras and sensors that allow it to identify and follow its owner at speeds up to 6 mph, and a cargo bin capable of holding up to 20 pounds of items. With a battery life of seven hours, the droid is designed for practical use throughout the day. Additionally, a companion app for iOS and Android devices enhances user interaction, making it easier to control and enjoy your new robotic friend. Piaggio CEO Greg Lynn described the partnership with Disney as a "natural fit" that aligns well with the company's mission. “Our team aims to transform everyday mobility challenges into opportunities for connection and exploration,” Lynn noted. “Star Wars has inspired generations with its imaginative galaxy and futuristic droids that assist humans with routine tasks, which resonates deeply with our vision for the future of robotics.” However, the excitement comes with a hefty price tag. The G1T4-M1N1 droid is priced at $2,875, and when shipping, handling, and taxes are factored in, the total cost can exceed $3,100. Moreover, Disney is firm on its no-refund, no-exchange, and no-return policy, emphasizing the limited nature of this release. For those curious about the droid’s capabilities before committing to the purchase, Disney is offering live demonstrations at the Disney Store in Times Square from now until May 6. This provides an opportunity to see the G1T4-M1N1 in action and gauge whether it is worth the investment.
