YYForce Applauds Tesla and Elon Musk on Commencing Manufacturing of Optimus Humanoid Robots
YYForce Inc.
Milestone marks a pivotal inflection point for the global robotics and physical AI ecosystem, reinforcing the acceleration of next-generation automation
SINGAPORE, Oct. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions, integrated facility management and robotics services, today congratulated Tesla, Inc. and Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk following Tesla’s announcement that production of its Optimus humanoid robot had begun in Fremont, California.
YYForce views the announcement as an important development for the broader physical AI ecosystem as humanoid robotics progresses toward real-world applications. Tesla described its California Optimus manufacturing operations as being in an early ramp phase, with hardware and manufacturing processes continuing to evolve.
Against this industry backdrop, YYForce announced plans to deploy its first humanoid robot at Novotel Singapore on Stevens in early November 2026, advancing the Company’s efforts to evaluate humanoid robotics in hospitality operations.
“Elon Musk and the Tesla team continue to push the boundaries of robotics and autonomous systems,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “We applaud this manufacturing milestone and believe progress across the industry can help accelerate the development of practical humanoid applications. At YYForce, our focus is on connecting advances in robotics with real operating environments, customer needs and frontline workforce experience.”
Advancing Humanoid Robotics in Hospitality
YYForce’s planned Novotel deployment is intended to support on-site testing, workflow assessment and evaluation of human–robot collaboration. The initial phase will help the Company assess suitable hospitality applications, integration requirements, staff training needs and operational performance.
The scope and pace of deployment activities will depend on technical readiness, site requirements and results from the initial evaluation. YYForce intends to use these findings to guide further development and potential expansion.
“Our first planned humanoid deployment at Novotel Singapore on Stevens represents a concrete step in our physical AI strategy,” added Mike Fu. “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.”
Building Capabilities for Enterprise Adoption
YYForce believes that advances in humanoid hardware could create opportunities across systems integration, task training, deployment support, maintenance and ongoing robotics services.
The Company’s strategy combines its workforce and facility management experience with developing robotics capabilities to support enterprise adoption. Its focus includes evaluating how robots can operate alongside people and fit into existing customer workflows.
YYForce’s planned Novotel deployment is a separate Company initiative. This release 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.
