NATIONAL RAS EXPO 2026

"From Nascent to National Imperative: Forging Pakistan’s Autonomous Future."

The National Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS) Expo aims to address Pakistan’s nascent potential in Robotics and AI (Physical AI), which remain underutilized in comparison to developed nations. As global trends demonstrate the strategic advantages of integrating RAS across various sectors, particularly in logistics, defense, agriculture and disaster management, Pakistan must adopt a coordinated national response to harness indigenous talent and technological capabilities. The RAS expo will serve as a platform to showcase local innovations, mapping existing capabilities, identify technical gaps, and promote startups, ultimately laying the groundwork for a national initiative to develop autonomous systems. By fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and government, the expo is pivotal for positioning Pakistan in the evolving landscape of robotics and AI
