The Interactive Robots and Media Laboratory (IRML) was founded in September 2007 and is situated in the College of IT of the United Arab Emirates University - the oldest, largest, and most prestigious university of the Emirates, which has been ranked second in the Arab World in terms of research output. IRML is located in the main UAEU campus, which is in Al Ain - a beautiful oasis resort city just an hour away from either Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The founder and director of the lab is Dr. Nikolaos Mavridis , who had been awarded his PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Media Laboratory. The lab currently has more than 5 faculty members affiliated with it, more than 15 UAE students taking part in its projects, as well as international interns. There are also numerous open possibiities for faculty, postdocs, visiting or permanent graduate students, as well as internships. The lab is equiped with the latest cutting-edge technology robotic, sensing, and virtual world systems. Two major research projects are taking place at the lab: The Microsoft-awarded "Facebots" project, in which social robots with face recognition and dialogue system capabilities that can utilize information available in FaceBook are created, as well as the first arabic speaking humanoid robot project "IbnSina", to become part of an interactive theater facility hosting humans, robots, and virtual characters.
