Insights

Strategic Robotics Commercialization Expert

LOI signals meaningful commercial upside in Saudi Arabia but remains conditional on pilots and a definitive supply agreement.

Micropolis AI Robotics gains a clear pathway to scale in the Kingdom through a renewed commercial channel with QSS Robotics, including planned pilots with the Ministry of Interior and an Dec 20, 2025 ARAMCO-site trial. The framework names product lines (M01/M02 UGVs, Mission Planner, HD Mapping, Tele-Operator, and AI modules such as Microspot) and a non-binding procurement intent for up to 500 units over two years, which, if contracted, would represent substantial volume and operational deployment.

The outcome depends on three concrete dependencies and execution risks: successful demonstration and end-user acceptance in the specified pilot environments, negotiation and signing of a definitive Supply Agreement, and practical localization/integration delivered by QSS. Each dependency is an explicit contingency in the announcement, so commercial upside is material but conditional.

Watch for three near-term, monitorable milestones: the Dec 20, 2025 ARAMCO pilot start and its acceptance criteria, any definitive Supply Agreement and its scope/timeline, and initial delivery or localization commitments from QSS during the two-year procurement window. Expect clarity within weeks to a few quarters after the pilot regarding order conversion and deployment scale.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micropolis AI Robotics (“Micropolis” or the “Company”) (NYSE: MCRP), a leading UAE-based developer of autonomous mobile robots and AI-driven security solutions, announced today that it has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with QSS Robotics, a prominent Saudi Arabian technology company, to establish a strategic collaboration for the distribution, localization, and deployment of Micropolis technologies across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The LOI outlines a framework for cooperation that includes the commercial representation of Micropolis products in Saudi Arabia, joint engagement with government and private-sector customers, and the integration, deployment, and after-sales support of Micropolis platforms under the Company’s supervision. The new agreement builds upon the prior agreements the Company has had with QSS Robotics since 2022.

Under the intended collaboration, Micropolis Robotics will provide its full suite of advanced technologies, including:

• Autonomous mobility platforms (M01 and M02 UGVs)
• Mission Planner, HD Mapping, and Tele-Operator systems
• AI modules such as Microspot, including behavior analysis, facial recognition, and autonomous navigation for urban, community, and off-road environments
  

QSS Robotics will serve as Micropolis’ commercial and technical partner in Saudi Arabia, engaging with key clients, integrating solutions locally, and supporting deployments throughout the Kingdom.

Fareed Aljawhari, CEO of Micropolis Robotics, commented, “This agreement further expands Micropolis’ commercial reach into Saudi Arabia, in line with our strategic priority of expanding in both our current markets and into new geographic regions. The new LOI builds upon our relationship with QSS Robotics that we have had since 2022, testament to the alignment and strong working relationship of our two companies, and showing that Micropolis is a trusted partner to deliver quality AI robotics.”

Pilot Project and Procurement Intent
As part of the LOI, Micropolis and QSS Robotics intend to initiate a pilot project with the Ministry of Interior – Facility Security Department (MOI-FSD) or another approved government entity.
In addition, Micropolis Robotics will conduct a dedicated pilot project with the Premises Security Forces Command of the Ministry of Interior in Saudi Arabia at an ARAMCO site starting from December 20, 2025.

This pilot will demonstrate Micropolis’ autonomous patrol capabilities, AI-powered security analytics, and mission-critical operational automation within one of the Kingdom’s most strategic industrial environments.

Upon successful completion, validation, and end-user acceptance of these pilot projects, QSS has expressed a non-binding intent to procure up to 500 autonomous robots from Micropolis Robotics over a period of two years—subject to the signing of a definitive Supply Agreement.

Commitment to Regional Technology Localization
