The future is already in the UAE capital, and if the autonomous taxis weren’t proof enough, this one’s going to convince you for sure. You shouldn’t be surprised if you spot a full-size humanoid robot walking around Abu Dhabi soon.
Following a showcase at BRIDGE Summit 2025, Jesse Liu, CFO & Director of Global Operations at China’s LimX Dynamics, stated that the UAE and the wider Middle East offer an ideal environment for deploying cutting-edge robotic solutions.
He emphasised that humanoid robots “will become a stable and reliable workforce once they reach maturity, and that future is closer than we think”.
Liu explained that the robot showcased at the summit is a full-size humanoid model, a category produced by only a few companies worldwide at high levels of stability, flexibility and intelligence.
The company is currently developing systems that enable robots to learn in a human-like manner through reinforcement learning and simulation, allowing them to acquire new skills and perform tasks with greater precision.
Next phase of humanoid robots in Abu Dhabi
The next phase will focus on enhancing the operational intelligence of robots, not only executing programmed movements but also understanding their surroundings and responding to diverse real-world scenarios.
This means they will soon lay the foundation for the practical deployment of humanoid robots in industrial and service applications.
Liu also added that his company’s participation in the summit provided an opportunity to showcase its latest advancements in AI-powered humanoid robotics, stating that his company considers itself an “embodied AI” platform rather than a traditional robotics manufacturer.
Liu also emphasised that humanoid robots “will become a stable and reliable workforce once they reach maturity, and that future is closer than we think”.
