Yango Tech Robotics is showcasing its Picker Robot, an AI-powered robotics solution for warehouse automation based on imitation learning. Picker Robot is trained using behavioural cloning, learning directly from human experts and thousands of real-world warehouse scenarios. A system that mirrors human adaptability, handling up to 97% of product types with up to 95% picking accuracy, even in unpredictable environments. It helps businesses streamline operations and reduce the need for manual labour. As the region races toward more agile, sustainable, and resilient logistics, robotics powered by imitation learning is a new frontier of physical AI.
Yango Tech Autonomy is featuring its latest fleet of autonomous delivery robots capable of navigating city streets, accessing hard-to-reach areas, and transporting goods quickly and sustainably.

Regionally, McKinsey projects that AI could add as much as $150 billion to GCC economies.
