Pioneering Service Robotics in Pakistan
As global automation accelerates,
Pakistan’s Nexa Robots Official Portal is expanding collaboration with Chinese
manufacturing and tech partners to build domestic capabilities in software, AI,
and systems integration. Founder and CEO H.M. Hafeez emphasized that deeper
technology collaboration, access to vital hardware components, and tailored
localization are essential to scaling service robotics in Pakistan.
The announcement coincides with the World
Robot Conference 2026 in Beijing, showcasing over 2,000 robotic applications
across healthcare, catering, hospitality, and logistics.
Key Partnerships And Real-World Deployments
·
Authorized Distribution: Nexa
distributes service and delivery robots in Pakistan from Shenzhen-based
robotics leader Pudu Robotics.
·
Academic Pioneer: One of its
earliest landmark installations took place at Minhaj University Lahore (MUL) in
September 2023. Smart service robots assist daily with visitor guidance,
reception inquiries, and library support.
·
Commercial Expansion: Beyond
pilots, Nexa has transitioned into paid commercial deployments across
educational, hospitality, and corporate sectors.
Challenges And Localization Roadmap

·
Market Headwinds: Low regional Labor
costs, economic fluctuations, and capital hesitation make businesses cautious
about automation. Reliable local technical support and trained personnel are
vital to ensuring robots perform consistently in live environments.
·
Payback Horizon: Intensive
commercial users (such as busy restaurants or hotels) typically see a
1-to-2-year return on investment (ROI), while moderate deployments take longer.
·
Phased Localization: Nexa is
developing software and AI layers locally while sourcing primary hardware from
China. Once local market volume expands, the company aims to introduce local
assembly and Robots-as-a-Service (RaaS) leasing models.
