Terminus Group

Terminus Group (Chinese: 特斯联科技集团; pinyin: Tesilian) (aka Terminus) is a Chinese company headquartered in Beijing, China.[1][2][3]

History and operations edit

Terminus was founded in 2015 by Victor Ai, a Washington University graduate.[4][5][6] In 2019, Harvard Business Review recognized Ai as one of the Top 20 digital transformation pioneers in China.[7] The company develops smart buildings, smart communities, and smart retail, while specializing in the development of the AI CITY using its smart city management system - TACOS (Terminus AI CITY Operating System), robotics, Internet of Things (IoT) products, and urban security management tools.[8][9][10]

In April 2020, Terminus launched a project to create an AI city in Chongqing,[11] China. It claims to be the world’s first urban digitization pilot project and is currently under construction.[12] The idea behind this project is that using AI, it will get to know its citizens better.[13]

Terminus planned to deploy over 150 robots at Expo 2020 in Dubai, which was postponed to October 1, 2021, and later to March 31, 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[14][15][16] Terminus was the only Chinese company selected as the official premier partner of the Expo 2020.[17][18][19]
