Watch: Sheikh Mohammed waves at humanoid robot during live demonstration
When was the last time you saw a humanoid robot wave and walk towards you? Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, had an experience that not many residents get to have during a meeting with local dignitaries at the Union House in Dubai today, August 6. In a video posted by Wam, the leader could be seen waving back at the humanoid robot. The robot also showcased its speed by running inside the majlis as the dignitaries looked on. The robot was present as part of a live demonstration of the Unitree G1 by Dubai Future Labs. The lightweight, highly balanced robot mimics human movement and represents the latest in robotics and AI. Watch the clip below: It will soon be featured in the Museum of the Future's interactive displays, welcoming visitors and showcasing advanced technology, allowing residents and tourists to watch it in action too. The Unitree G1 is a humanoid robot that stands 130cm tall and weighs around 35kg. Its onboard computing includes an 8-core high-performance CPU, with sensory hardware like a depth camera, 3D LiDAR, microphone array, speaker, Wi‑Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2. The robot runs for about two hours on a 13‑string lithium battery. Meeting at Al Mudaif Majlis During the gathering, Sheikh Mohammed highlighted the UAE's continued progress in building a distinctive development model based on openness, competitiveness, and support for entrepreneurship. He noted that the country's success stems from ambitious goals, a people-centred approach, and strong public-private partnerships. The achievements of recent decades, he added, reflect a clear vision driven by planning, determination, and collaboration. He added that the UAE remains committed to being a land of opportunity, a hub for prosperity, and a welcoming home for all who contribute to its growth. He also said that at every stage, the UAE has set new benchmarks for progress and established a model economy rooted in innovation. The outcomes of this journey are evident today in the country's stability, social cohesion, and the resilience and growth of its economy. The Ruler also highlighted Dubai's vital role in the UAE's broader development journey, as it continues to strengthen its position as a leading global economic centre. Driven by investor confidence, market maturity, and its ability to attract top talent and opportunities, the emirate continues to advance the goals of Dubai Economic Agenda D33, he highlighted.

Dubai: Smart Nol card top-ups see 20% rise as less commuters rely on ticket machines
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced a 20 per cent increase in nol card top-up transactions through digital channels during the first half of 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. This reflects ongoing efforts to advance digital transformation in public transport services and enhance customer satisfaction. The authority explained that the improvements included the provision of digital machines for ticket sales and top-ups, public awareness initiatives encouraging the use of digital channels such as the website and mobile payment applications, in addition to raising the minimum top-up amount for nol cards through machines and ticket sales offices. Statistics showed a 28 per cent decrease in the total number of top-up transactions via ticket vending machines, while digital transactions via these machines increased by 20 per cent. Meanwhile, cash transactions at ticket sales offices declined by 37 per cent, and digital transactions by six per cent, resulting in an overall 26 per cent drop in transactions at ticket offices. The RTA affirmed that this shift contributed to shorter queues and lower operating costs related to cash handling, along with an 80 per cent decrease in vending machine malfunctions due to fewer cash-based transactions.

Dubai rental market bucks summer lull as new families move in ahead of school year
Dubai's property market defied the usual summer slowdown in July, with rental activity jumping as families and professionals moved to the emirate ahead of the new academic year, data from the Dubai Land Department (DLD) showed. The total value of property sales transactions rose 17 per cent month-on-month to 51.67 billion dirhams ($14.1 billion), while transaction volumes increased 21 per cent from June and 26 per cent compared with the same month last year, according to DLD figures. Relocations drive Dubai's summer rental boom The rental market led the surge, with new contracts climbing 12 per cent in July from the previous month. Villas and townhouse rentals rose 8 per cent by volume, while apartment rental activity jumped 37 per cent, fuelled by incoming teachers, hospitality workers and corporate staff preparing for September starts. 'July has been one of our strongest months yet,' said Lewis Allsopp, chairman of real estate agency Allsopp & Allsopp. 'This is prime time for people relocating, starting new jobs, or getting children settled in school.' The company reported a 26 per cent monthly increase in villa and townhouse rentals, alongside a 33 per cent annual rise in average prices for these properties. Villas and townhouses accounted for 33 per cent of rental transactions by volume but 58 per cent by value, reflecting growing demand for space among relocating families. Dubai's private school student enrolment has already risen 6 per cent, with five new schools set to open next year, supporting demand for larger family homes. The traditionally quieter summer months have also seen a 21 per cent rise in new property listings and a 244 per cent jump in viewings at Allsopp & Allsopp, highlighting what agents say is a structural shift in Dubai's real estate cycle. 'The perception that the market slows when people leave for holiday is outdated,' Allsopp said. 'The activity we're seeing underlines Dubai's pull as a place to live and work.'
