- Robo.ai Inc., founded in 2017 and headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a technology company specializing in smart passenger vehicles and green energy mobility solutions with a focus on artificial intelligence and robotics. The company develops and manufactures electric vehicles, including product lines such as MUSE and GHIATH passenger vehicles and autonomous logistics vehicles. Its subsidiary Astra provides intelligent logistics, automatic delivery, and shared travel services. Robo.ai also engages in wholesale and retail vehicle sales, auto parts and materials distribution, and offers business management, operations, commercialization, warranty, design, and technology development services. The company integrates AI-powered terminals including smart vehicles, autonomous driving technologies, robotics, and electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, supported by a centralized AI operating system and a blockchain-enabled ecosystem for decentralized data sharing and asset tokenization.
Recent strategic moves include a name change from NWTN, Inc. to Robo.ai Inc. in August 2025, reflecting its expanded scope in AI-enabled smart mobility. The company entered a joint venture with JW Global for commercial vehicle development and established a partnership with Ewatt Aerospace Technology to advance electric VTOL aircraft deployment. Robo.ai secured a major order through its Astra subsidiary for 30,000 electric and autonomous vehicles and formed strategic alliances to expand its presence in the Middle East, particularly through a $300 million investment commitment led by Burkhan Capital. It also invested in Arkreen, a decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) platform to explore Web3 technologies. Although facing recent revenue challenges due to discontinuation of its Rabdan vehicle line, Robo.ai remains focused on expanding its AI robot network platform and smart vehicle ecosystem in key markets including the UAE, the United States, and Mainland China.
Robo.ai operates primarily in the automotive and technology sectors, combining AI, autonomous driving, electric mobility, and blockchain to deliver passenger-centric user experiences and smart logistics solutions across global markets. Its business emphasis lies in connected vehicle technology, autonomous systems, green energy mobility, and AI-enabled intelligent device networks. The company is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker AIIO and operates with approximately 68 employees, targeting consumer discretionary and technology-driven mobility segments. It continues to develop innovative AI and blockchain solutions to support a decentralized intelligent platform for the Internet of Things.
