- A proposed climate research programme remains under consideration.
Testing framework
Shenzhen-based UBTech and Ras Al Khaimah's Government Office of International Relations have signed a memorandum of understanding on humanoid robot research and field testing, the emirate's government announced in an October 19 release distributed by PR Newswire.
Under the cooperation plan, UBTech will deploy humanoid products in Ras Al Khaimah and send engineers to conduct demonstrations. The government says the initial phase will examine performance in industrial assembly, public services, AI-assisted elderly care and tourism.
Climate research proposal
The partners will also explore a dedicated humanoid robot climate research programme. It would use local climatic and operating conditions to assess the systems' performance in the UAE and wider Gulf region.
The agreement provides a framework for research, testing and deployment. The climate programme is described as a feasibility exploration, while deployments and demonstrations remain planned activities. The release provides no robot quantities, project budget or deployment timetable. The signing in Shenzhen opened a week-long official visit to southern China, according to the government.
