SHANGHAI, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the XMAN-R1, a humanoid embodied service robot developed by Keenon Robotics – a global leader in general-purpose and special-purpose embodied humanoid robots – has been officially deployed at the Shangri-La Traders Hotel, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. The hotel has not only become one staffed by humanoid robot servers but also establishes the world’s first smart scenario model demonstrating collaborative operations between “General-Purpose + Special-Purpose” robots. Keenon’s integrated robot matrix has been fully integrated into the hotel’s operations, covering diverse scenarios such as front desk greetings, room cleaning, food and item delivery, and luggage handling.

The newly opened Shangri-La Traders Hotel, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, part of the Shangri-La Group portfolio, aims to create a benchmark for a new generation of business hotels combining efficiency and enjoyment. Facing challenges like high service demand and the critical need for consistent service quality, the hotel management sought technological innovation to optimize human resource allocation, strengthen service standardization, and create a unique stay experience for guests.

In this partnership, Keenon’s humanoid service robot XMAN-R1 assumes the role of a greeter. Through natural language interaction and anthropomorphic actions, it can proactively greet arriving guests, engage in intelligent Q&A interactions, and present a welcome gift to each guest. Its smooth and natural service performance creates a highly technological and immersive experience for guests. Keenon’s special-purpose robots also perform their respective duties diligently: the delivery robot W3 handles in-room deliveries; the high-payload transport robot S100 manages luggage; the cleaning robot C40 takes care of hotel cleaning; and food delivery within the hotel restaurant is handled by Keenon’s T10 and T3 robots.

The XMAN-R1 is Keenon’s humanoid service robot, developed based on vast amounts of real-world scenario data and designed with the philosophy of “Role-Oriented, User-Friendly, and Safety-First,” enabling it to seamlessly adapt to the service industry scenarios Keenon has deeply cultivated for years. The core driving force behind it is the company’s self-developed KOM2.0, the world’s first Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for the service industry, which forms the foundation of the robot’s general intelligence. The vertically-optimized model for specific domains like hotels, KEENON ProS, acts like comprehensive “vocational training,” equipping the robot with professional job skills. Keenon’s proposed concept of “Robot Role-Orientation” involves deconstructing commercial service scenarios into independent work modules, where each module corresponds to a single, standardized role with clearly defined boundaries and responsibilities, establishing a precise “Robot-to-Role” correspondence. This approach is expected to accelerate the commercial application of embodied humanoid robots.

As a pioneer with 15 years of deep cultivation in the service robotics field, Keenon Robotics has successfully deployed its embodied robot solutions in over 60 countries and regions worldwide, with cumulative deployments exceeding 100,000 units. Addressing the unique challenges of the service industry – characterized by non-standardization, high dynamism, and strong interaction – Keenon’s strategy of synergistic advancement between “General-Purpose” and “Special-Purpose” robots will faster promote the broader commercial adoption of embodied intelligence. Humanoid robots, with their anthropomorphic form, demonstrate innate advantages in environmental adaptation, intent understanding, and complex task execution; while special-purpose robots for delivery, cleaning, etc., achieve superior operational efficiency in their respective roles.

The successful deployment of this Keenon general-purpose and special-purpose robot portfolio at the Shangri-La Traders Hotel, Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, not only embodies the concentration of Keenon’s years of commercial scenario data accumulation and technological development but also signifies that embodied intelligence is now practically enhancing hotel operational quality and guest stay experiences in a more efficient and convenient manner, providing a highly valuable practical reference model for the industry’s intelligent upgrade.

The platform leverages Learning Cognitive Profiling (LCP) — an AI system that continuously analyzes student learning patterns to deliver personalized content, insights, and feedback in real time.

Early institutional deployments have demonstrated measurable improvements in:

• Instructional efficiency, reducing manual course-preparation time and enabling educators to focus on mentorship and research.
• Student engagement, supported by adaptive content generation and predictive analytics.
• Learning continuity and accessibility, through a secure, cloud-based architecture optimized for reliability and performance.

At KUST, the ArthurAI™ Academic Excellence Edition will be implemented across select faculties to evaluate the impact of AI-personalized instruction, data-driven teaching analytics, and real-time curriculum adaptation within classroom and distance-learning environments.

Integrating AI Literacy for the Future Workforce

The partnership will also explore the integration of The Dawn Directive, a groundbreaking AI literacy and fluency program authored by MindHYVE’s agentic AI educator — and developed under the California Institute of Artificial Intelligence (CIAI).

Through this program, KUST students and faculty will gain exposure to AI literacy, digital communication, data ethics, and responsible AI collaboration, ensuring readiness for the emerging AI economy.

The partnership also emphasizes transparency, inclusivity, and responsible technology deployment, aligning with international frameworks for ethical and explainable AI in education.

Dr. Syed Zafar Ilyas, Vice Chancellor of KUST, stated:
“This collaboration represents a turning point for Pakistani higher education. By integrating MindHYVE’s intelligent learning technologies, KUST is embracing the future of academic innovation — one where education is adaptive, data-driven, and student-centered.”

Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO of MindHYVE.ai™:
“With ArthurAI™, education becomes truly personalized and inclusive. Our partnership with KUST creates a scalable model for AI-integrated learning that supports educators, empowers students, and ensures responsible innovation across institutions in Pakistan.”

BEIJING, Oct. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — To honour the 80^th anniversary of Taiwan’s recovery from Japanese occupation, China Media Group proudly announces the premiere of a six-episode historical documentary series titled Homeland Restored: 80 Years Since Taiwan’s Recovery from Japanese Occupation starting November 1st.

Drawing on extensive historical archives and the insights of both scholars and eyewitnesses, this documentary series underscores a key fact: that the Chinese mainland and Taiwan are two parts of an inseparable community with a shared future together. Highlighting that Taiwan’s restoration to China is an outcome of the WWII victory and part and parcel of the postwar international order, it stresses that China’s reunification is an irreversible trend of history. The film also helps audiences across the Strait and around the world better understand the history of the Chinese mainland and Taiwan standing together in the fight against foreign invasion, fostering a deeper sense of national and cultural identity among Taiwan compatriots.

In making this documentary series, the production team traveled extensively across China and abroad. As well as filming a wealth of invaluable historical relics, they also delved into archival documents, diaries, letters and obtained many rare video materials – many of which will be revealed to the public for the first time come the airing of the series.

The documentary series also provides a systematic review of international legal documents, such as the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, that unambiguously affirm China’s sovereignty over Taiwan. It also unveils for the first time rare archival materials from the U.S. National Archives and relevant historical institutions in Taipei, presenting solid evidence that powerfully refutes fallacies such as the “undetermined status of Taiwan” and the new “two-state” theory, reaffirming that the historical and legal fact of Taiwan’s return to China is indisputable.
