Aldar and Dubai Cares expand education partnership to support students and schools across the UAE
In a powerful reaffirmation of their longstanding partnership, and in line with the UAE's declaration of 2025 as the Year of Community, Aldar and Dubai Cares are once again joining forces to support students and schools across the UAE through the Volunteer Emirates programme. Building on the momentum of last year's successful edition, Back to School 2025 will take place on August 15, 2025, at Nabdh Alfalah in Abu Dhabi, where 300 volunteers will come together to pack 10,000 school kits. These kits will be distributed to students from low-income families across the UAE, ensuring they begin the academic year equipped with the tools, confidence, and support they need to thrive. This impactful activation embodies the shared vision of Aldar and Dubai Cares to empower communities and promote inclusive and quality addition, Aldar will sponsor the refurbishment of a not-for-profit school in the capital in 2025, the first such initiative to be undertaken by Dubai Cares in Abu Dhabi. This builds on the successful refurbishment of the National Charity School for Girls in Dubai earlier this year, which significantly enhanced the school's learning Al Maflahi, Executive Director of Sustainability & Community Outreach at Aldar, said: 'At Aldar, we believe that access to quality education is the cornerstone of a thriving society. Our continued collaboration with Dubai Cares reflects our commitment to creating inclusive communities where every child has the opportunity to learn and succeed. 'Given the impact of last year's 'Back to School' event and the success of the refurbishment work at the National Charity School for Girls in Dubai, we are excited to continue our support of students in the UAE who need it most. This partnership not only supports education but also strengthens the spirit of volunteerism and collective responsibility across the UAE.'Abdulla Ahmed Al Shehhi, Chief Operating Officer, Dubai Cares, commented that:' We are sincerely grateful to Aldar for their continued support and generous contribution, which is enabling us to equip thousands of students across the UAE with essential school supplies and enhanced learning environments. This partnership embodies the spirit of the UAE's 'Year of Community' by demonstrating how the private sector can work hand-in-hand with civil society to create lasting, meaningful impact. Together, we are ensuring that every child starts the school year with dignity, confidence, and the tools to thrive.' Both initiatives are part of Dubai Cares' flagship Volunteer Emirates programme, which mobilizes the UAE community year-round to donate their time and efforts in support of the education sector. With a total contribution nearing AED 1.5 million in 2025 alone, Aldar's support for Volunteer Emirates underscores its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and long-term community investment.

ROBOTERA Unveils ROBOT L7: A Full-Size Bipedal Humanoid Robot That Dances and Works
Recently, robotics company ROBOTERA officially launched its next-generation high-performance humanoid robot—the ROBOT L7. Standing at 171 cm tall, this bipedal robot is capable of high-dynamic actions such as running, 360-degree spin jumps, and street dancing, while also performing functional tasks in logistics and industrial settings like sorting, barcode scanning, and screw fastening. It even handles delicate operations like tearing tissues and drawing curtains, achieving dual breakthroughs in agility and the Limits of Full-Size Bipedal Robots in Dynamic MotionHigh-dynamic motion control in full-size bipedal humanoid robots is significantly more complex than in smaller models. A 65 kg body demands stronger joint torque for balance, and a 171 cm frame requires higher limb coordination precision. The ROBOT L7 achieves a full-stack breakthrough across power, structure, and control, addressing the key challenges of large-scale humanoid design.1. High-Torque Motors: The Power CoreThe robot is equipped with top-tier joint motors that deliver 400 N·m peak torque, enabling explosive lower-limb force for jumping and aerial movement under a 65 kg load. With a peak joint speed of 25 rad/s, the robot can adjust its posture in under 0.1 seconds, preventing imbalance. This performance not only surpasses smaller robots but also outperforms similar full-size models.2. Quasi-Direct Drive + Modular Lightweight StructureThe ROBOT L7 adopts a quasi-direct drive joint system paired with a fully self-developed modular skeletal structure, resolving the traditional trade-off between strength and flexibility. By eliminating conventional gear reducers, this design reduces power loss and achieves a more compact structure with improved force feedback accuracy—allowing real-time adjustment to core frame uses aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and carbon fiber composites, ensuring it can withstand momentary force surges while keeping the total weight at 65 kg—preserving its dynamic performance Performing to Producing: Dexterous Upper Body for Real-World WorkThe ROBOT L7 isn't just built for repetitive tasks—it rapidly learns new skills and adapts to complex, multi-scenario demands.1. Large Operational ReachThe ROBOT L7 boasts a 2.1-meter spherical operational range, made possible by wide shoulder extension and 3 degrees of freedom in the waist, covering workspaces from desktops to high shelves—an outstanding reach among full-size humanoids.2. Ten-Axis Wrist for Enhanced Angle FlexibilityFeaturing a 10-axis wrist with ±45° lateral swing and ±90° forward/backward motion, it breaks the constraint of fixed wrist angles. In industrial assembly, for example, it can handle tilted interfaces and hidden screws without rotating the entire body, improving success rates in complex tasks.3. Fully Direct-Drive Five-Fingered Hand: Power and Precision in OneAn industry-first, ROBOTERA's fully direct-drive five-fingered dexterous hand delivers groundbreaking manipulation capability:12 independently actuated degrees of freedom: Each finger is independently controlled, enabling operations from gripping mechanical parts to handling soft packages and pressing buttons on tools like screw guns.10 Hz response rate: Adjusts finger posture 10 times per second, enabling fast transitions between tasks like screwing, scanning, and With dual 7-axis biomimetic arms capable of carrying up to 20 kg, it can both handle heavy material transport and execute delicate tasks like operating pipettes or handheld tools—ideal for flexible Configurations for Commercial VersatilityThe ROBOT L7 introduces the world's first 'full-body + upper-body' interchangeable configuration:Industrial settings: Use the upper-body-only form to minimize space usage, suitable for compact environments like electronic assembly services: Use the full-body version for dynamic displays like 360° spinning jumps and street dance modular design reduces deployment cost per use case and validates the feasibility of scenario-specific launch of the ROBOT L7 demonstrates the technical viability of combining full-size high dynamics with fine manipulation, while its modular design supports real-world commercial adoption across diverse applications—from R&D to industrial deployment. As of this year, ROBOTERA has delivered over 200 units, with hundreds more in production. Its clientele includes 9 of the world's top tech giants, and its robots are the preferred platforms in the global developer community, contributing to groundbreaking research and practical applications at institutions like MIT, Stanford, and UC Berkeley. Since early this year, over 50% of its revenue comes from North America and the Middle East markets.
