An oasis of talented people

The constant challenges the world faces, confirms the necessity of working to discover talented people and nurturing them, and providing opportunities for them.

Through this page ... we shed light on the most promising talents that have been sponsored by the Emirates Gifted Association, hoping that introducing them and their potential will contribute to helping those concerned to discover them and take care of their owners, and to provide the necessary incubators for their creativity, which will contribute to the future directions of the state and achieve The aspirations of the leadership, for the UAE to be an incubator for innovation, innovators and talents, and perhaps this will be the start of new ideas that achieve these goals.

Passion, family interest, and the full care of the government, represented by the Dubai Police, factors gathered to take care of the talent of Lieutenant Engineer Saif Muhammad Al Sabbagh, the owner of the innovation of a flying robot, who can interact with the public in major events, and supervise the implementation of precautionary measures against the emerging corona virus, which is a phrase About an unmanned plane, it works as a guide and a tourist guide able to speak automatically with artificial intelligence techniques in all the world's languages.

Al-Sabbagh said to Emirates Today: “I started the science journey early thanks to the care of my parents, their constant interest in me, and their awareness of my passion for mathematics, and I was keen to practice sports constantly, following the example of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, President The Executive Council, which considers sport as the engine and a catalyst for its achievements.

He added that he finished high school with a rating of 95%, so he applied to the Dubai Police to obtain a scholarship to study engineering, so they accepted his request and provided him with the necessary care until he joined the Canadian University, and he began studying the specialization that he loves in engineering science, indicating that he has a special passion for aviation, so During his university studies, he was keen to attend relevant conferences and exhibitions, specifically the Dubai Air Show, which inspired him to specialize in "drones" or drones.

Avoid obstacles

Lieutenant engineer Saif Muhammad al-Sabbagh stated that he was keen to make the robot flying in order to avoid the obstacles that could face a normal robot that moves on the ground, indicating that he and the work team overcame a difficult challenge, which is manufacturing it from environmentally friendly materials and humans, so that it does not cause any damage or Injuries if he collides with something, confirming that it will be a surprise, and he is shown in a live experiment soon.

• The robot can interact with the public and monitor Corona violations.
