RIYADH: A showroom displaying cutting-edge humanoid robots has opened in Riyadh, with 10,000 of the machines to be deployed in industries across Saudi Arabia over the next five years.
The showroom is a partnership between the UK-based AI and robotics company Humanoid and Saudi Arabia’s QSS AI & Robotics, and is open to the public at QSS’ Riyadh headquarters.
Named the Humanoid Lounge, it features live demonstrations, educational workshops and interaction with the robots.
At the opening, HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled, the UK’s first industrial humanoid robot, performed live simulation and teleoperation tasks, giving attendees the opportunity to experience human-robot interaction firsthand through a “talk to a robot” feature.
HMND 01 Alpha Wheeled was built by Humanoid in just seven months.
