Overview
- Micropolis announced a five-year agreement with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Municipalities and Transport to design, produce, deploy, operate and maintain an integrated Physical AI urban cleaning ecosystem beginning with autonomous mini sweepers.
- The company says the sweepers will use on-vehicle perception, sensor fusion, intelligent navigation, edge computing, real-time fleet orchestration and predictive maintenance to run as a coordinated fleet.
- Micropolis also disclosed a partnership with Khalifa University to support research, operational validation and knowledge transfer for the project.
- The announcement drove a sharp market reaction, with Micropolis shares jumping about 58.65% in after-hours trading and daily volume spiking to roughly 7.83 million shares, reflecting heavy investor interest in the small-cap stock.
- The deal is company-sourced and forward-looking: the press release did not disclose contract value or a detailed deployment schedule, and scaling to citywide operations will depend on technical validation, procurement terms and regulatory approvals.
