From Sci-Fi to Reality: Dubai Ruler Meets Humanoid Robot
During a visit to Union House in Dubai on August 6, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was spotted waving at something straight out of the future—a humanoid robot. And yes, the robot waved back. It wasn't just a casual meet-and-greet. The high-tech moment was part of a live demonstration of the Unitree G1, one of the latest humanoid robots developed by Dubai Future Labs. The Robot That Walks, Runs, and Waves The Unitree G1 didn't just wave—it ran inside the majlis, showing off just how smoothly it mimics human movement. We're talking full-on futuristic agility in a 130cm-tall, 35kg package packed with sensors, 3D LiDAR, and smart tech. It's not just a behind-the-scenes robot either—it's set to appear soon at the Museum of the Future, welcoming visitors and letting everyone witness its sci-fi energy up close. Dubai's Message: Innovation in Motion At the same event, Sheikh Mohammed took a moment to highlight the UAE's forward-thinking vision. He pointed out that the country's growth is fueled by innovation, entrepreneurship, and a partnership-driven economy. Dubai, he said, continues to be a major driver of that vision, especially through plans like the Dubai Economic Agenda D33, which aims to boost global competitiveness and opportunity for all.
