At the RoboTechX Lab we research and develop various robots and internet connected devices. Our activities cover designing, developing and testing a wide range of hardware and software – from a simple plant watering system and distributed energy metre to industrial manipulators and autonomous robots.
In line with the UAE National Agenda of transitioning to a knowledge-based economy, promoting innovation and research and development, our mission is to bridge the gap between academic and industry in using innovative technologies to improve people’s quality of life.
The Lab is an integral part of Middlesex University Dubai’s Centre for Innovation in Human Experience.
