The use of pilot robotics technology is officially now embedded into the daily lives of shoppers in the Emirate of Dubai, with its launch in City Centre Mirdif. This revolutionary model blends cutting-edge robotics with customer-centric innovation to platform avatar-style robots directly in the hands of the public. The design of the pilot robotics project is geared towards assisting mall navigation and real-time customer service complemented with giving the shopping experience a rather intuitive, time-efficient and futuristic edge.
Brought into launch by Majid Al Futtaim in conjunction with the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF), the robotics pilot makes a bold hallmark of Dubai’s digital innovation commitment-the future of malls in engaging with prospective users has changed. Malls can now redefine the conceptual lines existing between services and intelligent technology. It is aimed at personalizing the shopper experience, getting the best feedback, and offering the utmost support while one is in the mall. With the pilot program now live, the city enters a brand-new retail era in which automation assists rather than replaces human interactions.

Bringing Intelligent Navigation to Life through Avatar Robots
Now City Centre Mirdif’s two avatar robots have been placed inside the revolutionary robotics pilot to engage shoppers in the mall. They don’t just greet but guide. These services encompass wayfinding, store directing, and multilingual support. Real-time, face-to-face smart engagement powered by AI is ensured by the robotics pilot. There will be more efficient navigation for everybody, including AI-delivered recognition services by the robots. These collected data will refine the services and keep them evolving in line with human needs. The robotics pilot is not only efficient; it also makes malls more human-centric so that technology can respond in dynamic, responsive ways to individuals.
Global robotics pilot that impacts on the local level
What excites on-the-ground people most about this robotics pilot is that it is truly global but local. Funded by the Dubai Future Labs, Osaka University, and Japan’s Moonshot Research and Development Programme, it forms part of a bigger dream to develop an “Avatar-Symbiotic Society” by 2050. The envisaged world is one where humans and robots will exist seamlessly with avatars helping people transcend physical boundaries. But the robotics pilot is launching in Dubai with consideration to cultural contexts, ethics, and legality. Majid Al Futtaim and DFF have assured the robotics pilot that it actually upholds cultural norms in developing its retail experience while not breaking everyday routines. The pilot showcases responsible innovation, where technology transcends human life rather than dominating it.
