  "account": "Dubai is gearing up to exhibit cutting-edge robotics technology at GITEX World RobotiX 2026, taking place from December 8 to 11 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre. The event, part of GITEX GLOBAL, will showcase humanoid robots, embodied AI, and next-generation automation across various sectors like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, hospitality, and smart infrastructure.\n\nGITEX GLOBAL 2026 kicks off with the GITEX Summit on December 7 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The demand for humanoid robots has surged, with shipments reaching over 22,000 units in the first half of 2026, a 300 percent increase from the previous year, according to Counterpoint Research.\n\nMajor participants include Unitree, the world's largest humanoid robot manufacturer with a 31 percent global market share; UBTECH, deploying humanoid robots in car factories and testing them with Airbus; AiMOGA, Chery Auto's embodied AI robotics brand; DEEP Robotics; and UAE-based Micropolis Robotics, providing autonomous patrol robots for Dubai Police.\n\nGITEX World RobotiX will demonstrate how robots are transitioning from demonstrations to real-world applications. UAE-based Mangobot will showcase a robotic workforce, including autonomous general-purpose robots, patrol robots, multilingual receptionists, and live performances. Visitors will also get hands-on experience with wearable exoskeleton technology.\n\nChinese robotics innovator Lumos Robotics will debut its MOS 2, a wheeled 'AI Worker' capable of handling payloads up to 50 kg and operating for over eight hours. Lumos will also showcase NIX S3, a quadruped robot designed for live dance performances.\n\nUAE-based Lootah Robotics will exhibit a range of humanoid, quadruped, service, cleaning, and telepresence robots from various manufacturers. The company emphasizes building an integrated robotics ecosystem to provide organizations with centralized control over different robots.\n\nEmbodied AI, which integrates AI models into physical bodies or hardware systems, is creating new opportunities for robots to interact naturally with people. China's Light Origins will unveil its 'bunny-shaped' robot, designed for household scenarios. Raydiculous will debut its TP01 humanoid and DINOBOT, an intelligent bipedal walking bionic dinosaur.\n\nThe exhibition will also focus on developing future robotics and engineering talent. UAE-based Besomi will introduce six humanoid and mobile robots called the 'Besomi Rangers,' alongside Unitree, Seeed Studio, Arduino, and Qualcomm.",
  "summary": "The showcase will demonstrate how machines capable of perceiving, reasoning and acting in the physical world are reshaping sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, hospitality and smart infrastructure.",
