1. Embodied AI and Advanced Robotics
Robotics demonstrations shifted focus from scripted movement toward real-time adaptation and physical task execution:
-
Agibbot (Mangobot): Introduced the flagship A2 humanoid (built for customer interaction with real-time emotion sensing and adaptive social behavior) alongside the X2 and modular G1 models.
-
Galbot G1: Stood 173 cm tall, utilizing embodied AI trained on the DEX GraspNet dataset (1.3 million simulations) for autonomous object handling.
-
Specialized Humanoids: Booster Robotics exhibited the T1 autonomous soccer-playing robot, while Unix AI presented Wanda 2.0, utilizing tactile sensors and gyroscopes for precise liquid pouring.
2. Autonomous Mobility and Aerial Transportation
Gitex 2025 highlighted significant progress in both dual-mode dual-use transport and consumer autonomous vehicles:
| Platform / Vehicle | Developer | Core Specifications & Highlights | Operational Timeline |
| AEROHT eVTOL | XPeng | Modular land aircraft carrier system; 2-seater flying unit | Deliveries targeted for 2027 (600 regional orders) |
| Robocar | Tensor Auto | Level 4 autonomous personal vehicle; 5 Lidars, 100+ sensors | Production readiness showcase |
| Concept AMG GTX | Mercedes-Benz | Hypercar exceeding 1,000 kW power; top speed >360 km/h | 400 km range recovery in 5-minute charge |
| Aircar | GAC Group | Carbon-fiber frame; 12 propellers; 20 km flight range | Experimental dual-drive prototype (~$230,000) |
| Midnight | Archer Aviation | 4-passenger + pilot electric air taxi; top speed 240 km/h | Planned routes: Dubai Airport to City (7 min) |
3. AI Security, Emergency Response, and Smart Cities
