What Is GITEX World RobotiX?
GITEX World RobotiX is a new event launching within GITEX Global, which is organised by inD. The organiser describes it as a global platform for robotics, humanoids and embodied AI. The schedule:
- GITEX Summit: 7 December 2026, Dubai World Trade Centre
- GITEX Global expo and GITEX World RobotiX: 8-11 December 2026, Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai
According to the release, the showcase will feature regional debuts of humanoid robots, quadruped and service robots, wearable exoskeletons and robot control hardware. The main expo runs alongside Expand North Star, the startup and investor event held on the same dates.
Which Manufacturers Does the Release Name?
Three of the manufacturers named in the release appear as follows:
- Unitree: The release says Unitree spearheads participation this year. It describes the company as one of the world's largest humanoid makers, with a 31 percent global market share. In the Counterpoint Research data the release cites, that share refers to global humanoid robot shipments in the first half of 2026.
- DEEP Robotics: Described as a global leader in quadrupeds and listed among the headline exhibitors.
- Pudu Robotics: Named not as a separate exhibitor but among the brands whose products a UAE-based systems integrator will show on its stand.
The release also names UBTECH and AiMOGA, the robotics brand of Chery Auto, among the participants. The release does not name the models Unitree, DEEP Robotics or Pudu will exhibit.
What Do the Figures Refer To?
The participation figures in the release refer to GITEX Global 2026 as a whole, not to the World RobotiX showcase. According to the organiser, the show will feature more than 6,000 exhibiting companies and startups, including over 400 government entities, with attendees from 180 countries. No separate exhibitor count has been published for World RobotiX.
Market data shared by the organiser sets the context: according to Counterpoint Research, more than 22,000 humanoid robots shipped worldwide in the first half of 2026, an increase of roughly 300 percent year on year, with shipments expected to pass 50,000 by the end of 2026. According to the release, the Dubai Robotics and Automation Program targets the deployment of 200,000 robots over ten years to 2032.
What It Means for Turkey
Dubai's robotics programme and trade shows of this scale point to growing interest in humanoid, quadruped and service robots in the Gulf. For Turkish organizations following the region, one practical point is that Unitree, Pudu and DEEP Robotics products named in the release can also be sourced in Turkey through a local counterpart. These product groups match robot categories that are also being evaluated in Turkey for production sites, logistics centres, hotels, shopping centres and universities.
Robotlar.org is the official Unitree distributor for Turkey and the official Pudu Robotics distributor for Turkey, and provides integration and corporate supply for DEEP Robotics products. Related product pages:
