Fatima Ali AlNuaimi from the Autonomous Robotics Research Center (ARRC) had two research papers on brain-computer interface (BCI) technology published at the IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (BIBM) 2022. The papers are titled “Real-time Control of UGV Robot in Gazebo Simulator using P300-based Brain-Computer Interface” and “Secure Password Using EEG-based BrainPrint System: Unlock Smartphone Password Using Brain-Computer Interface Technology”. AlNuaimi is recognized as a young Emirati scientist advancing BCI knowledge in the UAE. Why it matters: This highlights growing BCI research capabilities in the UAE and the contributions of Emirati researchers to this emerging field.

MBZUAI to showcase assistive AI technologies at GITEX 2025

MBZUAI · Invalid Date

MBZUAI will present two assistive AI prototypes at GITEX 2025: smart glasses with a camera and eye tracker that identify objects and medication, and a brain-computer interface (BCI) device integrated with robotics to control a robotic dog's movements. The smart glasses use a multimodal large language model (LLM) to help visually impaired individuals, while the BCI aims to restore hands-free communication for people with mobility limitations. Hisham Cholakkal leads the research team, which received a Meta Regional Research Grant 2025 for its work on multimodal LLM for smart wearables. Why it matters: The research demonstrates the potential of AI to improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations and addresses the challenge of providing cost-effective care for aging societies.
