Piaggio Fast Forward Employee Reviews

As an engineer, I love the feeling of ownership over my part of a project; at PFF, I get the daily feeling that I’m making real contributions to something tangible and bigger than myself. This gives me a great sense of value and fulfillment.

Currently my team is researching solutions for the qualification of pedestrian social etiquette. We dig deep into our data to find trends in human movement so our robots can fit better into the public sphere. It’s a hugely creative and novel team of scientists and designers aiming to define human patterns and refine human-robot interactions.
