Frequently asked questions
What is HORMĒ?
HORMĒ is a Behavioral Intelligence platform for autonomous machines, based in Dubai. It puts cleaning, inspection, logistics, security and port machines from different manufacturers under one behavior layer, so a mixed fleet can be run as one.
Do I need to replace my existing robots to use HORMĒ?
No. Machines connect through open standards (VDA 5050, Open-RMF, ROS 2) or through a connector written against the manufacturer's own API, so a machine already on your floor can join the fleet without being replaced. Where a vendor's stack is closed, we say so before you buy.
How much does the HORMĒ platform cost?
The behavior license is priced per machine, per month: Core from $149, Autonomy from $349 and Assured from $690. Pricing is indicative, and fleet rates apply above twenty machines. Hardware is a separate one-off purchase.
How do deployments usually start?
Most deployments start with a paid 90-day pilot on one floor, wing or yard. Results are measured first, and the fleet order follows.
How long does delivery to a UAE site take?
Typically 8 to 16 weeks to site. An October order usually lands in Q1 from Asian and Israeli suppliers; European platforms arrive in Q2.
Which robots does HORMĒ supply in the UAE?
Twelve machine classes, including delivery and service robots, commercial cleaning robots, security and patrol robots, inspection robots for oil and gas, warehouse robots and autonomous forklifts, port and heavy equipment, marine safety systems and solar panel cleaning robots.
Who handles certification and after-sales service?
HORMĒ completes TDRA type approval, ECAS conformity and, where needed, IECEx documentation before shipment, holds spare parts in the UAE, and uses factory-certified service engineers based in the UAE with response times written into the contract.
