DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micropolis Robotics (NYSE American: MCRP), a UAE-based developer of autonomous robotics and Physical AI solutions, participated in the second edition of the “Proud of UAE” Cycling Race organized by Dubai Police, with two DPR2 Autonomous Patrols (Dubai Police Robot 2) leading the cyclists at the front of the race.
The 80-kilometer race was organized by Dubai Police in cooperation with the UAE Cycling Federation, Dubai Sports Council and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority. The event formed part of a broader program of sporting and national initiatives designed to promote community well-being, physical activity and national pride.
The participation of the DPR2 Autonomous Patrols demonstrates how autonomous systems engineered for demanding public-safety and security applications can operate across a growing range of real-world environments. Their presence in a public sporting event also reflects the increasing integration of autonomous technology into urban and community settings, operating alongside people as part of everyday city life.
“Participating in the Proud of UAE race is particularly meaningful because it brings our technology directly into the community, operating in a real-world environment alongside Dubai Police and the public,” said Fareed Aljawhari, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Micropolis Robotics. “Our strategic partnership with Dubai Police has enabled us to develop autonomous systems around real operational requirements. Every new application allows us to demonstrate the versatility and operational readiness of these technologies as we expand their potential across public safety, security, infrastructure and urban operations.”
The participation builds on Micropolis’ strategic partnership with Dubai Police to develop and advance autonomous robotic systems for public safety and urban security.
The DPR2 combines autonomous navigation, intelligent perception, 360-degree environmental awareness and advanced connectivity for operations across public safety, security and urban environments.
The technology has progressed from development and real-world testing to active field operations. Last year, the first deployment entered operational service at Global Village, establishing a foundation for the continued advancement and broader application of the platform.
The participation of the new DPR2 Autonomous Patrols in the Proud of UAE race builds on that progress, demonstrating the technology in another active, public-facing environment alongside Dubai Police and the community.
Micropolis designs, develops and manufactures its robotic technologies in the UAE, integrating autonomous mobility, artificial intelligence, mechatronics and connected systems into Physical AI platforms built for real-world operations.
