Lootah Robotics opened a humanoid robotics showroom on Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai on Friday, The National reported. The opening included demonstrations of five humanoid robots presenting, dancing and playing football.
The venue held 28 robots at its opening, with 19 more scheduled to arrive over the following fortnight. Alongside humanoids, the inventory includes inspection and fire and safety robots, which the company intends to sell and rent with accompanying programming, operation and maintenance services. Purchase prices range from 50,000 to 3 million dirhams.
Founder Yousif Al Lootah told The National that the showroom aligns with the Dubai Robotics and Automation Programme, a plan to put 200,000 robots into service across the emirate by 2032. Al Lootah added that the machines are intended to support workers rather than replace jobs.
