As artificial intelligence technology continues to evolve and expand globally, an increasing number of innovative applications are driving the intelligent transformation of traditional settings. As one of China's leading AI service providers, Terminus was recently featured in a special report by People's Daily Overseas Edition for its cutting-edge deployment of intelligent robot systems at the iconic Mohammed bin Rashid Library in the UAE. This collaboration is helping the landmark cultural institution accelerate its digital and intelligent upgrade.
Chinese Tech Power Injects AI Momentum into a Cultural Landmark in the Middle East
Located in Dubai, the Mohammed bin Rashid Library is one of the largest comprehensive libraries in the Middle East, housing over 1 million books in more than 30 languages across a total floor area of over 54,000 square meters. It can accommodate more than a thousand readers at the same time.
Since 2022, Terminus has been deploying its proprietary intelligent robot systems at the library, integrating them with automated book storage, smart control equipment, and other technologies to create a fully AI-driven service system. From guiding visitors and book retrieval to positioning and delivery, the intelligent robot acts as a "smart hub", linking more than 40 types of devices throughout the facility—greatly enhancing operational efficiency and user experience.
"Our robots are built on a multimodal interaction system. They not only deliver highly accurate book positioning and rapid responses but also offer 24/7 patrol, fire and smoke detection, and image recognition functions", said Marcel, Vice President of International Product and Commercialization at Terminus. "Beyond deep integration in the library, we are also working closely with more local partners to explore scenario-based AI applications in education, security, urban management, and more".
