GITEX World RobotiX will showcase embodied artificial intelligence and humanoid machines in Dubai from 8 to 11 December at Dubai Exhibition Centre. The new event takes place during the 46th edition of GITEX GLOBAL, organized by inD, which begins with the GITEX Summit on 7 December at Dubai World Trade Centre.
The presentation of GITEX World RobotiX coincides with growing international interest in automated physical systems. According to data from Counterpoint Research, worldwide shipments of humanoid robots exceeded 22,000 units in the first half of 2026. This represents a 300 percent rise year-on-year, with total shipments projected to surpass 50,000 units by the end of the year. Meanwhile, local authorities are pursuing the Dubai Robotics and Automation Program, which aims to introduce 200,000 robots across the emirate by 2032.
Debut Technologies at GITEX World RobotiX
Several international hardware developers will introduce machines at the event. Chinese manufacturer Lumos Robotics will stage the regional debut of MOS 2, a wheeled machine with two arms designed to support 50-kilogram payloads during continuous shifts lasting over eight hours. The previous generation of MOS units completed 1,000 hours of continuous operations performing assembly and inspection at a Mitsubishi Electric facility in Changshu.
“Our demonstrations are designed to show the philosophy behind our products: robots need to do more than move. They need to perform useful tasks reliably in real environments.”

In addition, Raydiculous will present its bilingual TP01 humanoid capable of interacting in Arabic and English, alongside DINOBOT, a bipedal bionic walking model. China-based Light Origins will display a consumer-oriented robot in domestic settings. Local systems provider Mangobot will demonstrate autonomous patrol devices and wearable exoskeleton units.
Hardware and Software Computing Platforms
Specialized computing firms are also introducing processing units engineered for autonomous movement and real-time inference in artificial intelligence applications. JWIPC will present robotic controllers powered by the NVIDIA Thor module, delivering 2,070 TFLOPS of FP4 computing performance for robotic arms and mobile units.
Taiwan-based Vecow will introduce edge platforms running on processors from Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and NXP. Concurrently, Songying Technology plans to display its ORCA OS development environment, which combines simulated testing with physical machine validation.
Educational Training and Industry Participants
Education provider Besomi will present its Besomi Rangers series comprising six mobile and humanoid units to support regional engineering skills in digital education. Training sessions at the event will feature the Arduino VENTUNO platform developed alongside Qualcomm.
Unitree, which holds a 31 percent market share in humanoid production, leads exhibitor participation alongside UBTECH, DEEP Robotics, and UAE-based Micropolis Robotics, which manufactures autonomous security units for Dubai Police. Furthermore, regional distributor Lootah Robotics will exhibit industrial and service machines from manufacturers such as AGIBOT, Pudu Robotics, and EngineAI.
Dubai Trade Gathering
Organizers noted that GITEX World RobotiX will feature participation from international robotics manufacturers and component suppliers across multiple commercial sectors. The broader gathering unites more than 6,000 exhibiting companies and startups from 180 countries, presenting applications in logistics, manufacturing, and smart devices.
