Over the weekend, Dubai hosted the first World Drone Prix. A team led by a 15-year-old pilot from England managed to grab the first position. At the event, Dubai announced that it aims to host the World Future Sports event, a robotic sports competition. The competition is supposed to start in December 2017 and it will include robotic swimming, running, wrestling and car racing.
