According to The National, CNTXT AI is establishing several robotics-data facilities in the UAE, with at least one centre scheduled to begin operations in November. The initiative is part of the company's broader plans to invest up to $50 million in robotics hardware, distribution, and facilities across the Middle East and the United States.
Central to this investment are 30,000 square feet of robotics-data facilities across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. At the Dubai robotics data centre, workers wearing motion-sensor suits will assist robots with tasks commonly performed in homes or workplaces. Other sites will focus on egocentric data collection using lightweight head-mounted equipment that records tasks from the participant’s point of view to capture hand movements, context, and object interaction.
Mohammad Abu Sheikh, co-founder and chief executive of CNTXT AI, stated that the facilities will support the UAE in adopting physical AI and advancing AI sovereignty. Founded in Abu Dhabi in 2024, the company recently surpassed $300 million in committed revenue and previously secured $60 million in a Series A funding round co-led by BlueFive Capital and ai71.
