Malaysia Flying Labs Aims to Bring Robotics, AI Solutions to Local Challenges

The team’s core focus is capacity building, helping local experts better acquaint themselves with drone, robotics, and AI technologies.

March 29th, 2022

Drones, robotics, and artificial intelligence have incredible ability to serve our communities. In Malaysia, local experts aim to bring these rapidly evolving tools to address their neighbors’ most pressing challenges. 

Officially launching today, Malaysia Flying Labs will train drone pilots and operators on all aspects of drone applications, safety, and compliance. Drone, robotics, and AI technologies rapidly evolve, especially in social development, community empowerment, environmental sustainability, and humanitarian relief. Therefore, the team’s core focus is capacity building, helping local experts better acquaint themselves with these technologies and practical applications. 

A priority group for Malaysia Flying Labs will be youth living in rural villages. The team has already conducted trials for medical delivery and logistics by transporting vaccines and medicines to rural hospitals. They have also partnered with area farmers to spray pesticides and fertilizers to improve crop output and reduce manual labor.

Nationally, Malaysia Flying Labs will be ready to assist in natural disasters and other crises where their drones and technical know-how will improve the country’s humanitarian response.

Join us in welcoming Malaysia Flying Labs to the Global Flying Labs Network!
