WUHU, China, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In September 2025, “Mornine,” the first humanoid robot developed by AiMOGA Robotics, officially achieved three core EU certifications—CE-MD (Machinery Safety), CE-RED (Radio Equipment), and EN 18031 (Cybersecurity and Data Protection)—becoming the world’s first humanoid robot certified in both hardware and software under the European Union framework.

 Authoritative Certifications: Setting a New Global Benchmark for Humanoid Robots

The certifications were conducted by TÜV Rheinland, a globally recognized independent testing organization. The CE-MD certificate covers mechanical, electrical, and functional safety across system design and development. CE-RED evaluates the electromagnetic compatibility and signal stability of wireless communication modules. EN 18031, enforced by the EU from August 1, 2025, focuses on cybersecurity and data protection, with Mornine passing both EN 18031-1:2024 and EN 18031-2:2024—making it the first humanoid robot to do so.

Technical Rigor Behind Fast Certification: Building a Full-Spectrum Safety System

The certification spans multiple dimensions—including structural components, power modules, LiDAR, communication interfaces, operating systems, lighting safety, RoHS hazardous substance testing, and WEEE environmental compliance—establishing a full-module closed-loop testing process. This represents the most comprehensive CE certification to date in the humanoid robotics field.

From Global Pilots to Scalable Delivery: Building a Repeatable Deployment Framework

With CE certification secured, AiMOGA is now authorized to sell, deploy, and service its humanoid robots across EU member states. Mornine has already been deployed in 4S dealerships in Malaysia, the UAE, and South Africa—supporting tasks such as vehicle walkthroughs, multilingual interaction, and personalized services.

Beyond compliance, AiMOGA is actively building an integrated delivery model combining certification, scenario validation, and standard deployment. The model is adaptable to sectors, including automotive retail, public service, and education—supporting scalable, replicable deployment of humanoid robots globally.

As the world’s first humanoid robot company to achieve the EU’s triple certification for both hardware and software, AiMOGA is setting the stage for technological evolution ahead of the upcoming 2025 Chery International User Summit. Guided by the principle of “CO-CREATE•CO-DEFINE”, AiMOGA Robotics will leverage real-world commercial applications as a foundation to help shape the global path toward humanoid robot standardization.

HANGZHOU, China, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The 5th World Congress of Biosphere Reserves (WCBR) opened in Hangzhou on September 22, welcoming participation from over 100 countries and territories. This marks the first time that the event has taken place in China and the Asia-Pacific region. As the first Chinese technology company to be a strategic partner of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD), BOE co-organized a side event dedicated to the Science Decade with UNESCO’s Natural Sciences Sector during the 5th WCBR. Distinguished guests present at the event included Ms. Lidia Brito, Assistant Director-General, Natural Sciences Sector, UNESCO; Mr. Hu Shaofeng, Director, Division of Science Policies and Basic Sciences, Natural Sciences Sector, UNESCO; and Mr. Si Da, Vice President and Chief Brand Officer, BOE. They were joined by representatives from countries like South Africa and Armenia and those from various international organizations and enterprises. The event offered a full picture of how BOE leverages technology to help less developed regions like Africa enhance their science and technology capabilities for development, and to advance the Science Decade initiative in the Asia-Pacific region.

BOE and UNESCO, alongside other partners, launched the Windows to STEM initiative earlier in 2025, with the aim to improve Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education across Africa. In August this year, the first Windows to STEM workshop for teachers was held in Nairobi, Kenya. With the aid of BOE’s smart education devices and instructional materials, the workshop brought together local teachers for hands-on learning in programming and teaching with AI. BOE and its partners plan to hold a launch ceremony at the end of the year and will work together to extend the initiative to the broader Africa.

BOE embeds the concept of sustainable development into every aspect of production, manufacturing, and operations. In April this year, BOE released the first sustainability brand in China’s display sector – “ONE” (Open Next Earth), in a move to build an organic system that can create sustainable value. In September, the company unveiled its sustainable development strategy, setting an example for Chinese technology companies to practice the ESG concept amid the wave of globalization.

Going forward, BOE will stick to the path of market-oriented, international, and professional development and continuously invest in science popularization, digital innovation, green and low-carbon development, and other undertakings to champion global sustainable development.

BEIJING, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A report from China Daily

Chinese opera is an important feature of the country’s art and culture, with a long history and diverse elements such as literature, music, dance and martial arts. The ninth Chinese Opera Culture Week, to be held from Monday to Oct 5 in Beijing Garden Expo Park, is a golden opportunity for visitors to learn more about Chinese opera.

Performances in the event’s main venues will cover 23 opera genres and 33 professional troupes, with nearly 100 shows in total. It will also feature cultural and tourism consumption, with more than 150 merchants on site.

The history of traditional Chinese opera can be traced back to a time before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). In the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the art reached its peak, and Yuan zaju, a genre known for its profound social content and artistic techniques, became a treasure in the history of Chinese opera.

Given China’s vast territory, different regions developed their own distinctive opera styles. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 360 local opera styles in China, with Peking Opera, Yueju Opera, Huangmei Opera, Pingju Opera, and Yuju Opera, collectively known as the five major opera styles of China.

Chinese opera culture insists on promoting good and punishing evil. It fully affirms good people and virtuous deeds, such as Dou E in Injustice to Dou E, and criticizes evil deeds, often targeting those who abandon their wives after becoming rich, like Chen Shimei in Qin Xianglian.

Opera culture also opposes feudal dictates and pursues romantic happiness. Many famous works focus on themes of love and marriage, such as The Peony Pavilion, The Romance of the Western Chamber, and The Butterfly Lovers. These works criticize feudal dictates such as obedience to parental decisions and celebrate so-called “transgressive” and “rebellious” acts of choosing one’s own partner and pursuing free love.

As an important representative of Chinese culture, traditional Chinese opera plays a significant role in international cultural exchanges.

In recent years, various Chinese opera troupes have performed abroad multiple times, bringing outstanding forms such as Peking Opera and Yueju Opera to the world stage, allowing more foreign audiences to understand and appreciate traditional Chinese opera.
