Falcon Tech Robotics Deploys Odigo at UAE’s First Etihad Rail Passenger Station, Marking a Historic Milestone for AI Robots in UAE Transport
Abu Dhabi, UAE | May 8, 2026 — Falcon Tech Robotics LLC today announced the deployment of Odigo, its AI-powered advertising and guidance robot, at the UAE’s first Etihad Rail passenger station in Fujairah. The deployment marks a landmark moment for smart passenger experience in the UAE, making Odigo the first AI robot deployed at a railway station on the UAE’s national rail network.
The Fujairah station, unveiled as part of Etihad Rail’s phased passenger services launching in 2026, is one of the most significant public infrastructure milestones in the UAE’s history. Etihad Rail, once fully operational, will connect 11 major cities and regions across the country, carrying up to 400 passengers per train at speeds of up to 200 km/h. Odigo’s deployment at this station positions Falcon Tech Robotics at the very forefront of the UAE’s smart mobility and future of transport innovation.
At the station, Odigo welcomes passengers and visitors through its interactive touchscreen interface, delivering real-time information and intelligent guidance across the station’s futuristic spaces. Odigo combines autonomous navigation, AI-powered interaction, and dynamic display capabilities to deliver seamless passenger experiences at scale. Its deployment at Etihad Rail builds on Falcon Tech Robotics’ growing track record of large-scale Odigo deployments across the UAE, including 290 units at LuLu Group International and 360 units across Hypermedia’s network of 30 malls.
“Deploying Odigo at the UAE’s first Etihad Rail passenger station is a proud milestone for Falcon Tech Robotics and a powerful demonstration of what UAE-built robotics can achieve on a national stage,” said Manav Patel, Director, Falcon Tech Robotics LLC. “This deployment reflects our vision of robots made in the UAE, for the UAE, and we are proud to be part of one of the most transformative infrastructure projects in the region’s history.”
Falcon Tech Robotics LLC will oversee the ongoing operations and maintenance of Odigo at the Etihad Rail Fujairah station, reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering intelligent robotics across the UAE’s most ambitious public infrastructure.
