Tesla<\/a> has launched a new social media account on Weibo, China\u2019s answer to X, to promote its artificial intelligence technology, a move that analysts view as a preliminary step towards introducing its humanoid robots in the country.<\/p>\n

The first two posts on the TeslaAI account, unveiled on Sunday, featured images and video of the Optimus robots in action. According to its introduction, the account will also showcase Tesla\u2019s advances in autonomous driving, driverless ride-hailing and its Cortex supercomputer.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday noon, TeslaAI had gained more than 12,000 followers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTesla likely hopes to capitalise on its brand name to break into the crowded humanoid robot sector,\u201d said Paul Triolo, a partner at Albright Stonebridge Group. \u201cThe account suggests that Tesla is beginning to lay the groundwork for a major push into China for its humanoid robots over the next three to five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

China\u2019s humanoid robotics industry \u2013 led by start-ups like Hangzhou-based Unitree Robotics<\/a> and Shanghai\u2019s AgiBot<\/a> \u2013 is growing rapidly amid government support and increasing adoption.A Morgan Stanley research note<\/a> in June projected that China\u2019s robotics market would expand at an annual rate of 23 per cent to reach US$108 billion by 2028, up from US$47 billion in 2024, reinforcing the country\u2019s leading position in the fast-evolving sector.<\/p>\n

TeslaAI\u2019s first post teased an Optimus model with a golden exterior, accompanied by the caption: \u201cI continue to work hard to improve my physique.\u201d The second post included a video of the Optimus robot serving popcorn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tesla has launched a new social media account on Weibo, China\u2019s answer to X, to promote its artificial…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":52595,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[261],"tags":[33617,291,38574,289,290,30854,1374,381,38577,18,1647,38576,2422,19,17,38575,2792,82,1298,38573,2461,38578,2794],"class_list":{"0":"post-52594","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-agibot","9":"tag-ai","10":"tag-albright-stonebridge-group","11":"tag-artificial-intelligence","12":"tag-artificialintelligence","13":"tag-austin","14":"tag-california","15":"tag-china","16":"tag-cortex-supercomputer","17":"tag-eire","18":"tag-elon-musk","19":"tag-fremont-facility","20":"tag-hangzhou","21":"tag-ie","22":"tag-ireland","23":"tag-optimus-robots","24":"tag-shanghai","25":"tag-technology","26":"tag-tesla","27":"tag-teslaai","28":"tag-texas","29":"tag-unitree-robotics","30":"tag-weibo"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52594"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
