About

RobotX

Robotics, automation & embedded engineering from Dubai

We build robots, automation systems and the embedded electronics inside them: control firmware, printed circuit boards, sensors, motors and the power electronics that drive them. Our work takes startups, industrial teams and research groups from a first idea sketch to a machine in production.

RobotX Technologies LLC is based in Dubai Silicon Oasis, founded and led by Tarek Sharbo, an embedded systems and hardware design engineer with over a decade of experience shipping real products. Our mission is to help build the region's robotics ecosystem: robotics, automation and embedded engineering. All of it is engineered in Dubai for the UAE, the Gulf and worldwide, in English and Arabic.

What we build

Machines that reach production

Industrial robots and custom robot builds. Autonomous mobile systems. Automation cells and IoT monitoring hardware. Motor drives and their control firmware, precision sensing front ends, and custom PCBs. And with each machine, the bootloaders, test fixtures and production scripts that carry a design through assembly and into the field.

Philosophy

Pragmatic engineering

Good engineering is not the cleverest machine. It is the simplest design that meets the specification with margin. We pick mainstream, well-documented parts, design around suppliers and assembly houses you can actually reach, and write firmware the next engineer can maintain. From MVP to market-ready product, the goal is always the same: something you can manufacture, operate and repair.

Every decision gets written down. When a project ends, you own the schematics, the source code, the CAD and the reasoning behind them, not a black box.

Tools & stack

What we work with

A deliberately stable toolchain, proven across real projects, covering everything from the microcontroller inside a robot to the manufacturing files that build it.

Why work with us

How we work

Direct communication & honest scoping

You talk to the engineers doing the work, with no layers in between. Straight answers, risks flagged early, and honest scoping: we tell you when automation is not worth it for your case.

Documented deliverables

Schematics, layout files, source code, CAD, test reports and a handover document with every project. Versioned, reproducible, and yours to keep.

Bilingual: English & Arabic

Specifications, reviews and meetings in either language. One less barrier for teams across the Gulf, and none for everyone else.
