A Dubai-based company, Micropolis, has introduced a new fleet of autonomous robotic platforms aimed at addressing critical challenges in environmental restoration, industrial sanitation, and public safety. The unveiling took place at the Make it in the Emirates 2025 event in Abu Dhabi, which was hosted by the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.

The new lineup encompasses three advanced robotic systems: the Robotic Forestry Unit for reforestation efforts, the Box Cleaner for automated industrial sanitation, and the M01 Patrol Unit designed for the Dubai Police to enhance public safety operations. Each system is tailored to meet specific needs, from combatting desertification to ensuring hygiene compliance in industrial settings.

The Robotic Forestry Unit is specifically designed to aid reforestation in areas affected by environmental degradation. It integrates a ground vehicle for soil preparation, a drone for seed dispersal, and a robotic arm for seed and nutrient placement. Fareed AlJawhari, CEO of Micropolis Holdings, stated that this system allows governments and conservation organizations to expand reforestation efforts into regions that were previously too challenging or costly to reach.

Micropolis also presented the Box Cleaner, which was developed in collaboration with MCS Robotics. Built on the modular M2 platform, this robot automates sanitation tasks in food-grade and high-output logistics environments. It features various cleaning methods, including dry ice blasting and high-pressure jets, along with AI-powered residue detection. This system can operate autonomously with onboard chemical and waste tanks, enhancing hygiene standards while reducing worker exposure to hazardous conditions.

In addition to these two innovations, the M01 Patrol Unit, although not a new model, gained attention for its effectiveness in urban policing. This unit is equipped with advanced features such as 360-degree AI vision and autonomous navigation, making it suitable for deployment in dense urban areas and critical infrastructure sites. It can operate independently or be supervised remotely, significantly enhancing public safety without the need for additional personnel.

Micropolis also highlighted its Microspot platform, which utilizes AI for real-time intelligence in law enforcement. This platform supports capabilities such as suspect monitoring and predictive analytics, integrating with M-Patrol units and citywide security cameras to improve security efforts.

Furthermore, during the event, Micropolis signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Emirates Steel (EMSTEEL) to explore the integration of robotic solutions into EMSTEEL’s industrial operations, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership aimed at advancing robotic mobility in the construction sector.
