MAW Pilots AI-Powered Unitree Robots for Traffic Management and Public Services in Nepal

Kathmandu. A humanoid robot recently seen assisting pedestrians at a zebra crossing and delivering road safety messages alongside traffic police has attracted widespread attention on social media. But beyond the viral videos, the demonstration marks the beginning of a broader effort to explore practical applications of AI-powered robotics in Nepal.

The initiative is being led by MAW Vriddhi Future Tech, the robotics arm of the MAW Group operating as Unitree Nepal, which has introduced robots developed by the Chinese robotics company Unitree and is testing their use across multiple sectors.
