At Abu Dhabi's Autonomous Week, it wasn't just self-driving marine vessels and flying taxis that drew attention — robots were everywhere, grabbing all the attention. They offered a glimpse of a future that will literally leave you speechless.

Small robots designed to make coffee, deliver packages, and help with daily tasks filled the venue during the prestigious event, which runs from November 10 to 15. A few of them were dancing, moving, and having fun on their own. Yes, really! Wearing a traditional Emirati headgear — the Ghutrah — Booster robots joined in the men's Ayyala dance, moving in sync as people around them performed with sticks and sang prayers for the well-being of the nation's President (His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan).

Developed by Booster Robotics, the child-sized humanoid starts at $5,999 and comes in three models: Geek, Education, and Professional. Weighing just 19.5 kilograms and standing 95 centimeters tall, the robot is designed to be easily carried around. One of its standout features is its ability to dance — a skill it was especially built to perform. In another video, the robot can be seen gliding through the streets of Abu Dhabi, drawing attention from everyone.

In August of this year, a video of robot greeting Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, went viral on social media.
