Micropolis Holding (NYSE American: MCRP), a pioneer in unmanned ground vehicles (“UGVs”) and AI-driven security solutions, has expanded its industrial robotics portfolio with the unveiling of an Autonomous Logistics Platform designed for heavy-duty, continuous operations. The platform was revealed in January at the UMEX 2026 exhibition in Abu Dhabi, where it was showcased on the stand of EDGE Group, the UAE’s state-backed advanced technology and defense manufacturer (https://ibn.fm/WhHSL).
The Autonomous Logistics Platform is built on Micropolis’ M01 base vehicle and is intended for use in controlled industrial settings rather than public roads. Target environments include manufacturing facilities, industrial zones, logistics corridors, and other secured or access-restricted areas where predictable routes and repeatable missions are critical. The company describes the system as a response to the growing need for reliable, autonomous transport of goods and equipment within large industrial campuses.
At the hardware level, the platform is designed for demanding workloads. It supports payloads of four to five tons and uses a 400-volt high-voltage battery architecture. Depending on load, terrain, and mission profile, the system is engineered to operate for 12 to 18 hours per charge. These specifications place the robot in a category closer to industrial transport vehicles than to lighter autonomous mobile robots commonly used inside warehouses.
Micropolis founder and chief executive Fareed Aljawhari said the system was developed to address practical logistics challenges and noted that the platform’s endurance and payload capacity are intended to support sustained, high-frequency transport missions across large sites, reducing reliance on manual vehicles while improving operational safety.
“The reveal of our Autonomous Logistics Platform at UMEX in Abu Dhabi marks a major milestone for Micropolis. Built on our M01 platform, the system delivers industrial-grade payload performance, extended operational endurance, and advanced autonomy to serve real logistics needs in controlled industrial areas,” Aljawhari said. “We are proud to reveal the platform on EDGE Group’s stand, reflecting aligned ambitions to accelerate next-generation robotics and sovereign innovation from the UAE.”
The platform’s autonomy is driven by Micropolis’ Rule-Based Community Autonomous System, a proprietary software stack designed for structured environments. Rather than relying solely on end-to-end machine learning, the system combines AI with rule-based decision logic to manage navigation, obstacle avoidance, and task execution in predictable industrial layouts.
A key differentiator for Micropolis is how autonomy is integrated into a broader operational framework. The Autonomous Logistics Platform is connected to the company’s Mission Planner, which handles route generation, task scheduling, and autonomous mission execution. This allows industrial operators to define transport tasks centrally and deploy them across one or more vehicles without manual intervention.
Fleet-level coordination is managed through STEERAI, Micropolis’ fleet management system. STEERAI provides real-time monitoring, multi-robot coordination, and operational analytics, enabling supervisors to track vehicle status, mission progress, and utilization rates across an entire site. For industrial operators, this level of visibility is often as important as autonomy itself, particularly in regulated or safety-sensitive environments.
The platform also supports integration with warehouse management systems. By linking autonomous transport missions directly to inventory and warehouse workflows, Micropolis aims to automate the movement of goods from storage to production lines or between facilities. This end-to-end integration is intended to reduce handoffs between systems and limit the need for manual scheduling.
Micropolis has positioned the Autonomous Logistics Platform as a last-mile logistics solution within secured industrial zones. Use cases outlined by the company include factory-to-factory transport, movement of equipment across industrial corridors, and scheduled logistics operations in restricted facilities where traceability and repeatability are required. These are environments where GPS-denied conditions, safety constraints, and operational continuity, limit usefulness of indoor-focused robots.
The unveiling at UMEX also highlighted Micropolis’ broader strategic positioning. While the company is known for developing robotic systems for security and law enforcement, management has emphasized that its core technologies are designed to be foundational rather than application-specific. The same autonomy stack, vehicle architecture, and AI tools can be adapted for logistics, infrastructure maintenance, or other industrial roles.
This flexibility is a central part of how Micropolis differentiates itself from competitors that design robots for narrow tasks. By controlling development across mechatronics, embedded systems, and AI software, the company aims to customize platforms for different operational requirements without redesigning systems from scratch. That vertical integration allows Micropolis to tailor payload capacity, endurance, and autonomy features to specific customer needs.
