Singapore Humanoid Robot Training Lab Powered by NVIDIA Accelerated Computing Technology

Establishes a “Human-Robot Co-Working” framework, positioning the Company to offer AI-enhanced labor solutions across hospitality, retail and other service environments

SINGAPORE, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), an AI-native workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced the next stage of the AI training data strategy it introduced on April 22, 2026: the launch of its Humanoid Robotics Training Lab in Singapore, complemented by pilot deployments of humanoid robots in two of Singapore’s leading commercial retail and hospitality facilities. Taken together, these initiatives form YY Group’s “Human-Robot Co-Working” framework, the foundation of the Company’s long-term plans for the commercialization of physical AI.

The Singapore lab will complement the Johor, Malaysia AI training and data collection facility YY Group announced in April. Both facilities will capture structured, real-world human activity data – drawing on the Company’s network of over 500,000 workers across hospitality, food and beverage, facility maintenance, security and other service roles – and use that data to train and refine service robots for deployment alongside human workers in live service environments. The Singapore lab, which will operate on NVIDIA accelerated computing technology, will also serve as an exhibition space for client demonstrations.

To augment its training data capture and transition these robotic capabilities from the lab to the market, the Company is partnering with a prominent shopping mall and luxury hotel in Singapore to pilot humanoid robot deployments in real-world service settings. They will work side-by-side with human professionals, allowing the Company to gather operational data and physical-interaction telemetry to further refine robots’ spatial awareness and task performance while also increasing human teams’ efficiency.

Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, commented: “Our Human-Robot Co-Working framework is built on a simple principle: robots handle repetitive and physically demanding tasks while human workers focus on higher-value service. With the Johor facility, Singapore lab and pilot deployments underway, we are not just training robots; we are building a collaborative ecosystem where human expertise and robotic precision benefit one another. We are turning a unique data advantage – a network of more than 500,000 workers across 12 countries – into a new generation of AI-enhanced workforce solutions that can be replicated at scale, tapping into higher-margin revenue opportunities while creating value for human workers and operators alike.”

The Company’s AI training data and automation initiatives advance the Agentic and Robotic Automation module of the four-module AI framework the Company outlined in its May 11, 2026 Strategic Update, positioning YY Group to serve clients with hybrid workforce models that combine human talent and automation to address chronic labor shortages, and to supply structured real-world datasets to technology companies developing robotics and AI systems. Consistent with the disciplined capital approach reaffirmed in the Strategic Update, these initiatives are supported by the Company’s existing resources and do not alter its FY2026 revenue guidance of US$103 million to US$110 million or its path to profitability.

TAIPEI, June 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Located in Nantou County, Taiwan, Zhonggua River was once heavily impacted by river engineering projects that disrupted the natural relationship between the stream and its surrounding environment. As habitats became simplified, native species declined while invasive species spread, and the river gradually lost much of its ecological vitality.

With growing environmental awareness and conservation advocacy, restoration efforts supported by Taiwan’s Agency of Rural Development and Soil and Water Conservation, together with National Chung Hsing University, helped restore the river’s natural landscape by removing concrete barriers and reopening the riverbanks to nature. The area has since evolved into a space for biodiversity conservation, environmental education, and community engagement, earning “OECM” (Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures) certification in Taiwan’s first competition.

As biodiversity returned, the need for a long-term, low-impact monitoring system created an opportunity for smart security solutions to support ecological conservation.

Background

Climate change, extreme weather, and changing land use patterns have increased the importance of river conservation and water management. Zhonggua River and its surrounding wetlands provide important habitat for Taiwan’s native wildlife.

After restoration, the River’s natural floodplain regained its ability to regulate floodwaters, replenish groundwater, and rebuild ecological habitats during typhoons and heavy rainfall.

VIVOTEK partnered with National Chung Hsing University and AI startup team DATAYOO to introduce an intelligent video monitoring solution, creating a 24/7, non-intrusive ecological observation system that supports both conservation and sustainable environmental management.

Challenges

Previously, ecological surveys relied on field inspections, manual observations, and conventional infrared cameras with limited recording capabilities and fixed viewing angles. Researchers entering the site could also unintentionally disturb wildlife.

In addition, the river experienced wastewater pollution incidents from upstream of the restoration site that damaged water quality and aquatic life. Traditional monitoring methods made it difficult to quickly identify pollution sources or track environmental changes over time.

These challenges highlighted the need for a smarter and more environmentally friendly monitoring solution.

Solutions

Remote Ecological Monitoring

As part of its “Safety Map” initiative, VIVOTEK mobilized employees to participate in local ecological restoration, including wetland creation, invasive plant removal, and native vegetation recovery. The company also deployed high-resolution PTZ cameras integrated with the VORTEX cloud surveillance platform, enabling remote live monitoring, centralized video management, and cloud-based data access to improve ecological research and environmental management efficiency.

Researchers can now remotely observe wildlife without disturbing natural behavior, documenting species such as the protected crab-eating mongoose, kingfishers, spot-billed ducks, turtles, and wild boars. The footage also supports the development of a local biodiversity database for long-term conservation research.

Environmental and Disaster Monitoring

The system monitors water levels, water conditions, and surrounding environments in real time, helping authorities manage flood risks during typhoons and heavy rain while reducing the need for personnel to enter hazardous areas.

If pollution incidents occur, recorded footage can help trace contamination sources and assess ecological impacts.

Environmental Education

Time-lapse footage and recorded videos are also used as educational materials for schools and local communities, helping raise awareness of biodiversity and ecological restoration.

Result and Customer Feedback

Since the deployment of the smart monitoring system, Zhonggua River has achieved significant ecological and environmental benefits:

• Improved efficiency in biodiversity monitoring and long-term ecological research. Documentation of at least 13 species, including protected crab-eating mongooses, spot-billed ducks, kingfishers, turtles, and wild boars, validating the success of habitat restoration.
• Enhanced pollution tracking and water environment management capabilities
• Stronger flood and disaster monitoring during extreme weather
• Creation of a growing environmental education and ecological resource database

“VIVOTEK’s smart security solutions empower researchers to observe ecosystems over longer periods and across wider areas without disturbing wildlife. Combined with wetland restoration efforts, the system has helped document the return of many native species once displaced by human activity.”

— Chiou-Rong Sheue, Professor, Department of Life Sciences, National Chung Hsing University

VIVOTEK will continue leveraging AI and smart security technologies to support environmental protection, public safety, and sustainable development, creating a future where technology and nature coexist in harmony.
