TII's Autonomous Robotics Research Center is pioneering practical swarm robotics across air, land, and sea — using AI, edge computing, and multi-domain coordination.
Executive SummaryAs robots become more sophisticated and capable, they can take more actions autonomously, with less need for human supervision. Such robots can handle many more jobs than earlier models, but their greater complexity makes them expensive to build and maintain, difficult to scale up from the prototype stage, and vulnerable to the potential failure of any one of their many components. Paradoxically, the more a robot can do, the more difficult it can be to deploy for real-world tasks.
Dubai Future Labs, an initiative of Dubai Future Foundation, has opened registration for the fourth edition of the Emirates Robotics Competition, inviting university students across the UAE to design and develop intelligent robotic systems for large-scale libraries. The competition is organised in partnership with Rochester Institute of Technology Dubai, Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, and American University of Sharjah. Applications will remain open until 31 May 2026. This year’s challenge focuses on designing robotic solutions capable of supporting operations in large libraries, including autonomously returning books, encyclopaedias, multimedia materials, and archived content to their designated […]
Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) has announced that Aysha AlShehhi, a PhD candidate in Engineering with Robotics concentration at Khalifa University in collaboration with Dubai Future Labs (DFL), has been awarded the 2025 L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science Middle East Regional Young Talents 2025 Program. The programme recognises outstanding young women from the Middle East who are advancing scientific research. It aims to strengthen women’s participation in STEM fields by celebrating their achievements, supporting their academic work, and funding projects that contribute to scientific progress. Since its launch in 1998, the initiative has supported more than 4,400 women researchers in over […]
