Micropolis introduced the M1.5 hybrid robot at the Emirates 2026 industry exhibition in Abu Dhabi, marking an evolution of its autonomous mobile platforms. The unveiling highlighted the robot’s role in mission-critical deployments and its readiness for more demanding operational environments.

The M1.5 platform delivers extended operational range, improved off-road mobility and increased endurance for continuous missions in challenging terrains. It features a hybrid powertrain and reinforced chassis to maintain reliability during prolonged deployments.

Development was guided by requirements from the UAE National Guard, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Interior and critical infrastructure operators, ensuring the robot meets high-security standards. Key applications include remote surveillance, border control and industrial monitoring in oil, gas and logistics facilities.

Built and integrated in the UAE with the company’s Microspot AI software, the M1.5 complements existing Patrol M1 and M2 systems. The launch supports Micropolis’ expansion strategy with planned exports to Saudi Arabia and Africa and strengthens its position as the first UAE robotics firm listed on the NYSE American.
