The right environment for robotics development
The Dubai Robotics and Automation Program is based on three main axes, the first of which is governance, which is based on the establishment of structural support mechanisms to build and maintain the appropriate environment for the development of robots and automation, institutionalizing the cooperation of robots and automation developers, creating a favorable regulatory and legal environment, as well as generating the necessary standards and knowledge.
The second axis of the program is based on supporting scientific research and development, increasing their funding allocations in key areas, increasing the participation of local talent, and increasing the number of employees with specializations in research and development in the field of robotics and automation.
As for the third pillar, it depends on supporting the industry in adopting and integrating technologies, reducing the cost of robot adoption, institutionalizing investment cooperation in research and development, supporting robotics and automation integration, raising the level of technology promotion and public acceptance of technology, and increasing the adoption rates of robots.
Vital and future sectors
The implementation of the outputs of the Dubai Robotics and Automation Program, which is supervised by the Dubai Future Foundation, contributes to the development of many vital and future sectors in Dubai, including the economy, transportation, space, health, education, artificial intelligence, and many others.
The program includes 5 major initiatives, and focuses on 5 future areas of research and development.
200,000 automated devices (robots) provided by the "program", to raise the levels of efficiency and productivity in the service, industrial and logistical sectors.
