Robot shows for family events and malls in the UAE

Robot shows for malls and family events in the UAE usually run as a schedule of short performances, each up to about 3 minutes, across a school-holiday day, a weekend or Eid. Robot dogs lead for families, a humanoid can welcome visitors, and an operator supervises every photo moment inside a marked zone.

What we need from you

Date and time, venue and space, number of guests, the moment you want the robots in, and any branding or costume wishes. We reply with a proposal within 24 hours.

How does the day run?

We set up before opening and rehearse in the atrium or event space. Through the day the robots perform at fixed times, for example on the hour, so families can plan around the show; between performances they rest and charge out of sight. For multi-day and seasonal bookings we plan the robot and operator team for the whole run.

How do I plan this format?

Agree the show times against footfall and the school-holiday calendar. A mall day usually holds three to five short shows with charging breaks in between, and for a seasonal booking we plan the robot and operator team for the whole run.

Send the holiday or Eid dates you are planning for
Confirm the atrium or activity zone
Plan barriers to keep the performance zone clear

Questions about this format

How is this different from a brand activation?

A family programme is built for visitors' enjoyment over days or a season, with shows at set times; a brand activation is built around one product or launch moment.

What does the mall need to provide?

A flat, clear floor for the performance zone, barriers or marking to keep it clear, a power socket for charging and a quiet rest point between shows.

Can visitors take photos with the robots?

Yes, in supervised photo moments between shows, one family at a time, with the operator beside the robot.
