The initial phase will help YYForce assess suitable hospitality applications, integration requirements, staff training needs and operational performance, according to the company. YYForce intends to use the findings to guide further development and potential expansion. The company said the planned deployment is a separate initiative and does not announce any partnership, supply agreement or endorsement involving Tesla, nor does it indicate that the robot planned for deployment is a Tesla Optimus robot.

"Our first planned humanoid deployment at Novotel Singapore on Stevens represents a concrete step in our physical AI strategy," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. "We aim to understand where humanoid robots can perform reliably, how they can support employees, and what is required to deliver measurable value to hospitality customers."

YYForce also congratulated Tesla and CEO Elon Musk following Tesla's announcement that production of its Optimus humanoid robot had begun in Fremont, California. Tesla described its California Optimus manufacturing operations as being in an early ramp phase, with hardware and manufacturing processes continuing to evolve. "Elon Musk and the Tesla team continue to push the boundaries of robotics and autonomous systems," Fu said. "We applaud this manufacturing milestone and believe progress across the industry can help accelerate the development of practical humanoid applications."
