Micropolis Robotics

What Micropolis Robotics does

Micropolis Robotics is a UAE-based (Dubai Production City) designer, developer, and manufacturer of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and associated AI software. Its technology stack is anchored by the modular M-Platform (M01/M02 bases), with NVIDIA Orin-powered edge computing and multi-sensor fusion (LiDAR, camera, radar, GNSS, IMU). On this platform it builds application-specific solutions: M-Patrol autonomous security vehicles, the Microspot behavioral-analysis AI platform, the Autonomous Logistics Platform (4-5 ton payload, 400V architecture), the M1.5 off-road hybrid robot, and AI-powered autonomous urban sweepers.

The company generates revenue through three streams: hardware sales of autonomous vehicles (disclosed deal sizes range from $1.2M for EMSTEEL to $9.3M for AfricAI), licensing of proprietary software including Microspot and mission-planning tools, and phased deployment/professional services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government and large industrial buyers, supplemented by exclusive regional distribution partnerships (AfricAI for Africa) and event-driven demand generation at UAE exhibitions. Key customers include Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport (five-year urban cleaning contract), Dubai Police, Saudi Ministry of Interior, DP World, ADNOC, NEOM, and EMSTEEL. The company is publicly listed on NYSE American under ticker MCRP, becoming the first UAE robotics firm to achieve a US public listing, and received an NYSE non-compliance notice in May 2026 for delayed Form 20-F filing.
