Micropolis Holding, owner of Micropolis Robotics, has joined Nvidia’s Inception Program in a move the company says will accelerate the development, testing, and deployment of its autonomous ground robots as it expands across the Middle East and North Africa.
The partnership brings Nvidia’s GPUs and Orin edge computing modules into the core of Micropolis’ unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), enabling key onboard functions such as perception, navigation, and decision-making to run locally rather than through cloud systems.
According to Micropolis, real-time processing on the Orin platform provides faster responses and improved reliability in challenging settings including industrial sites, border regions, and dense urban areas.
Micropolis is also adopting Nvidia’s Omniverse and Isaac Sim tools to build digital twins for simulation, testing, and validation of its AI systems.
Engineers can model realistic conditions, refine algorithms, and assess system behaviour at scale before a robot enters the field.
The company says this simulation-driven workflow reduces costly real-world testing while cutting development times.
Together, the technologies form what Micropolis describes as the digital backbone of its robotics platform.
In a statement, the company said: “Our partnership with Nvidia not only ensures the technological success and longevity of our products, but also provides a strong foundation for our future scale-up milestones.
“By building on Nvidia’s world-class AI and robotics ecosystem, Micropolis is positioned to lead the next generation of intelligent, autonomous solutions, made in the UAE for the world.”
The announcement follows Micropolis’ expansion into Egypt and North Africa through an exclusive distribution agreement with Aerixio FZ-LLC.
The deal gives Aerxio the sole rights to distribute Micropolis’ autonomous security vehicles across the region. Initial deployments are planned in Egypt, supported by wider rollouts to follow.
Central to the expansion is “The Patrol”, Micropolis’ flagship UGV designed for desert and border operations. The vehicle can reach speeds of up to 50 km/h, run for 15 hours, and uses the company’s Microspot AI software for real-time perception and situational awareness.
Micropolis specialises in UGVs, modular robotics platforms, and AI systems for defence, logistics, and smart-infrastructure applications.
The company has established relationships with public-sector clients in the Gulf Cooperation Council region, including Dubai Police, which has supported testing and integration of autonomous security technologies.
By combining Nvidia’s hardware acceleration and simulation capabilities with its own modular platform, Micropolis aims to scale production and strengthen its position as a UAE-based robotics developer serving global markets.
