Camels controlled by robot jockeys race at the Al-Shahaniya Camel Race Track on December 11, 2020 in Al-Shahaniya, Qatar. Remote-controlled robot jockeys clothed in colourful racing silks are strapped to camels' backs and racing them to victory on the race track. Camel owners, trainers and locals follow the race by driving their cars along a road that runs parallel to the racing track. Ever since Qatar banned the use of child jockeys in 2005 who were used because of their age, size and weight, to race the camels, robot jockeys have replaced human riders in traditional camel racing.
