One of the company's robots - Opti, a mascot robot designed for the event, will carry out the crucial task of interacting with the visitors and entertaining the tourists from all over the world. Opti is about 1 meter tall and is equipped with an 18-degree backward angle to facilitate interaction with people. The robot can stand upright for nearly 24 hours, operate in a balanced and safe manner, and move freely in all directions. In addition, the group dance performed by the company's OPTI robots will be one of the major highlights of the Expo.
At the moment of writing, the first batch of the Smart Robot series by Terminus Group already arrived in Dubai and successfully passed the rigorous quality control. Providing reliable smart services for the event such as the Expo is a great challenge for the young company which aims to prove to the world it does have necessary technological capabilities that can meet the high standards set by one of the world's top tech events.
In addition to providing smart robotic solutions to Expo 2020 Dubai, Terminus Group will also participate in the smart digital transformation of District 2020 by deploying its AIoT solutions to comprehensively facilitate the construction of the AI CITY in Expo 2020 Dubai. According to Victor Ai, the founder and CEO of Terminus group, the AI CITY is a smart product that relies on AIoT technologies capable of leveraging and transforming both the urban landscape and the industrial ecosystem.

The city of Dubai, as a strategic logistic hub between the East and the West, will undoubtedly benefit from its involvement and in-depth participation in the Expo 2020 Dubai. It's Terminus Group's ambition to exchange the knowledge with other major industry players and partners around the world, and jointly build Expo 2020 Dubai - 'a blueprint' for the development of a global network of smart cities. Moreover, the first global AI CITY project known as "CLOUD VALLEY" has been making steady progress in terms of construction in Chongqing, China.

We have a common vision to create an unprecedented AI CITY in the future, and to inspire other innovation centers around the world. Based on this common vision, we can achieve this important cooperation." Nademe Meira said, Vice President of the District 2020 in Dubai in 2020.
