GITEX World RobotiX, a new launch event at GITEX GLOBAL, will bring the world’s robotics pioneers and embodied AI leaders to Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai, from December 8 to 11.
GITEX GLOBAL 2026 opens with the GITEX Summit at Dubai World Trade Centre on December 7.
The showcase will demonstrate how machines that perceive, reason and act in the physical world are changing manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, hospitality and smart infrastructure. It arrives as demand surges. More than 22,000 humanoid robots shipped globally in the first half of 2026, a 300 percent year-on-year increase, according to Counterpoint Research, with shipments expected to pass 50,000 units by year-end. Dubai is also targeting the deployment of 200,000 robots over 10 years to 2032 through its Robotics and Automation Program.
Unitree, which holds 31 percent of the global humanoid market, leads participation alongside UBTECH, AiMOGA, DEEP Robotics and the UAE’s Micropolis Robotics, which supplies patrol robots to Dubai Police. UAE-based Mangobot will present a robotic workforce that includes multilingual receptionists and live performances, and visitors can try wearable exoskeletons.
Several companies are making Middle East debuts. Lumos Robotics will show MOS 2, a wheeled AI Worker that handles payloads of up to 50 kg and runs for more than eight hours, while Raydiculous will present its TP01 humanoid and DINOBOT, a bionic walking dinosaur. Besomi will run a live Robotics & AI Lab, and JWIPC, Songying Technology and Vecow will unveil robotics computing and development platforms.
The 46th edition of GITEX GLOBAL, organised by inD, expects more than 6,000 exhibitors and visitors from 180 countries.
