Robots Playing Football at Gitex
Three AI-controlled robots are playing football at HPE's GITEX 2025 stand in Dubai, demonstrating the abat+ production platform running on HPE NonStop.
The demo showcases how data-driven control systems guide complex processes in real time, using cameras and sensors to feed an AI model that tracks the ball and players.
The same stack a major car maker uses on its line is calling the plays—vision, positioning and decision-making—so the robots find space and take their shots.
- The demo is located in Hall 6, Stand A30 in Dubai.
- The robots demonstrate perception, planning and control, the same loop factories run all day.
The author concludes: Robots play football with AI tech.
