GITEX GLOBAL, is one of the most anticipated tech events in the world, where innovators, tech enthusiasts, and industry leaders come together to showcase cutting-edge technology. Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, from October 15-22, the annual event never fails to amaze attendees with its array of futuristic inventions and groundbreaking technologies. This year¡¯s GITEX has not disappointed at all. Here are five of the coolest exhibits that are stealing the show.
The Dubai Police presented their ¡®Luxurious Marine Patrol,¡¯ a high-speed response vehicle designed for marine incidents and emergency rescue operations. This impressive patrol is a testament to the city's commitment to safety and modernisation. Boasting a top speed of 45 knots per hour, an automatic engine, and a capacity of 1800 cc, it can swiftly respond to save lives. The marine marvel has a total weight of 320 kilograms and can carry up to two passengers.
The Dubai Police, also, introduced an eco-friendly, fully electric self-driving security patrol vehicle designed for residential areas. This autonomous patrol vehicle is equipped with advanced AI technology, capable of detecting criminal behavior, recognising faces, and reading license plates. It aims to enhance security coverage in residential zones, and with its 360-degree capture capability and direct communication technology, it ensures rapid response and communication with the police command centre.
Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is taking road safety to the next level with AI-powered technology to monitor and assess the performance of delivery bike riders. Using AI-driven cameras, the RTA has launched a system to track potential violations, ensuring the safety of both riders and road users. This initiative has significantly reduced inspection time, increased daily inspections, and provided valuable insights into rider behaviour.
Another innovative technology unveiled by RTA at GITEX is an innovative system that allows commuters to pay for public transport fares using facial recognition technology. Passengers can make payments without the need for tickets or cards. By registering and identifying users through 3D facial features, this system streamlines transactions, enhances efficiency, and reduces reliance on cash payments, making the daily commute more convenient.
Yasmina, an Arabic-speaking AI voice assistant, is another catchy attraction at the GITEX. Yasmina brings a unique cultural touch to digital interactions. Designed with a Khaleeji accent and a blend of IQ, EQ, and AI, Yasmina stands out as a virtual assistant that truly understands local context. She not only communicates in various Arabic dialects but also offers a sense of humour, making interactions with technology more engaging and relatable for Emirati users.
GITEX continues to be a hub of technological innovation and a platform for the world to witness the incredible progress being made in the tech industry. With the introduction of these cutting-edge technologies, Dubai solidifies its position as a forward-thinking city that embraces the future while prioritising safety, efficiency, and user experience.? ?
