02

Industrial complex

Five proposed factories cover robotics, servers and computing systems, semiconductors, smart displays and interfaces, and fiber cables. Feasibility and partners determine each factory’s scope and phasing.

03

Research and development

Laboratories for semiconductors, digital language, interactive robotic skin, human interaction, cybersecurity and advanced industry connect prototypes with testing and manufacturing opportunities.

04

Academy and professional training

Pathways in AI, robotics, software, embedded systems, electronics, data and smart manufacturing, with proposed applied laboratories and practical training.

05

Commerce and visitor experiences

Technology exhibitions, robotic dining concepts, a visitor center and startup and supplier spaces demonstrate applications and connect innovation to customer needs.

06

Command and control

Fleet, task, tracking, security and IoT coordination, with a proposed local operating mode, isolated emergency network and secure synchronization after connectivity returns.

07

Qualification and simulation

Digital and physical environments test tasks, safety, collision prevention, cyber resilience and reliability before field operations.

08

Digital identity and lifecycle

A unique identity connects a robot to its owner, task, location and operating and maintenance history, supporting transport, docking, permissions and audit records.

Proposed footprint and network

The proposed reference footprint is one million square meters: 600,000 for the first phase and 400,000 for expansion. Five proposed regional centers serve central, western, eastern, northern and southern regions. These are estimates subject to study and approval.

Innovation portfolio

Smart mobility and wheelchairs; offline camel-herd management; robot hospital; digital identity; transport and custody; language lexicon; isolation and recovery; cyber resilience; port protection; health reporting; hybrid operations; secure docking; docking and update management; pre-maintenance verification. These are research families, not claims of granted patents or confirmed filings.

An integrated vision for robotics, intelligent infrastructure and human-centered urban life.

Vision and scope

The city concept connects technology, industry and knowledge within a coherent urban environment. Development begins with understanding how people live, work and learn.

Planning priorities include digital infrastructure, mobility, services and innovation spaces, with attention to scalability, safety and quality of experience.

Development approach

Understand the need

Define the intended users, priorities and scope before selecting solutions.

Connect expertise

Identify suitable capabilities and partners, with clear responsibilities and requirements.

Review and improve

Evaluate readiness, test within the agreed scope and use findings to guide the next stage.

Working pathway

  1. Identify needs and define the project scope.
  2. Study technical and operational requirements.
  3. Establish roles and appropriate partnerships.
  4. Review readiness before implementation or external integration.
  5. Monitor outcomes and refine the approach.
