Xiengkhouang Court Sentences Man to Prison for Domestic Violence

“It’s a Family Matter” Stories of Abuse Gone Silent
FILE: the image is used only for representational purpose (photo: fighterlaw.com)

The Xiengkhouang Provincial Court has sentenced a 20-year-old man from Ngoen village, Paek District, to 3 years and 6 months in prison for assaulting his 16-year-old wife during the Kinjieng festival in January. Along with the prison term, the court imposed a fine of LAK 10 million (USD 452) and ordered him to pay LAK 33 million (USD 1,492) in compensation to the victim.

During the Hmong New Year celebrations, the young woman, who was at the festival with her sister, was approached by another man seeking her phone number. Despite declining due to her marital status, the woman’s husband’s friend witnessed the interaction and reported it. When the husband arrived at the festival, he physically attacked his wife, an incident that was captured on video and widely shared online. The video quickly went viral.

The recent court’s decision has sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some have praised the authorities for their action against domestic and gender-based violence, others have criticized the justice system for delays and a lack of updates on the case. This has led to calls for more consistent communication on such cases to keep the public informed.

Calls for Better Support on Domestic Violence Cases

This case is part of a larger issue of domestic violence and sexual harassment in Laos, where such crimes often go unnoticed or are poorly addressed. Social media users have criticized the authorities for not providing adequate support to victims, despite ongoing public awareness campaigns.

Recent cases have heightened these concerns. On 25 June, a 15-year-old boy in Champasak Province sexually harassed and murdered a 13-year-old girl. Although the boy has been arrested, the lack of information about his potential punishment has led to public skepticism. According to Laos’s Criminal Law, rape carries a prison term of 4-6 years, increasing to 6-10 years if the victim is under 18, with fines up to LAK 50 million (USD 2,262). However, there are calls for stricter penalties, with some residents believing that wealth may influence legal outcomes.

Victims frequently feel abandoned by the legal system. This frustration is echoed by Nanthida “Nesxy” Phoummichit, who fled to Thailand after allegedly being sexually harassed by a government official. Despite seeking help from various organizations and authorities, she received little support and faced additional victimization from her community, she told The Laotian Times in a previous interview.

Another case involves Nixa Haifong, who was assaulted by a hotel staff member in Vientiane Capital. Despite reporting the incident and being offered a small compensation, Nixa encountered significant barriers in her pursuit of justice.

Laos, Neighbors Boos Hotlines and Services for Abuse Victims

In response to these challenges, Laos has established hotlines and support centers for victims of sexual harassment. The Women’s Union and Lao 1362 provide 24/7 consultations, and health assistance hotlines offer medical support.

Internationally, neighboring countries such as Thailand and Cambodia also provide resources for sexual harassment victims. In Thailand, hotlines and emergency services offer immediate assistance, while Cambodia’s TPO Cambodia and Child Helpline Cambodia provide counseling and support for various forms of abuse and violence.

The broader challenge remains improving systemic responses and support structures to ensure that victims of domestic violence and sexual harassment receive timely and effective assistance.

Our current cash reserves are sufficient to meet our near-term working capital needs. We are also evaluating alternatives to equity-based financing to ensure we maintain sufficient liquidity to fund additional projects. .

This strategic business update is a bold testament to our unshakeable belief in Gorilla’s intrinsic value and our confidence in its future. By taking these proactive steps, we are not only addressing our current financial strength, but also laying a formidable foundation for sustainable growth and enhanced shareholder value,

To our investors, your support and confidence in our vision are invaluable.

Over Ten Leading Products Launched, Humanoid Robots Steal the Spotlight — Beijing E-Town Establishes a Complete Robotic Industry Chain

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 August 2024 – After achieving the world’s first humanoid running with a full-sized pure electric humanoid robot, “Tiangong” has demonstrated new skills. Walker S Lite has started its training in automotive smart factories, and the world’s first orthopedic surgical robot equipped with AI deep learning technology has been unveiled. Soft robots have also broken through industrial application bottlenecks. On August 21, the 2024 World Robot Conference opened in Beijing E-Town (Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area), showcasing over ten innovative products from Beijing E-Town at the 2024 World Robot Expo, with humanoid robots taking center stage. Through “Robot Mobilization,” Beijing E-Town has developed internationally leading humanoid robots, AI medical robots, and autonomously controlled key components, transforming these advancements into new productivity and continuously enhancing the innovation capability of the robot industry.

Dancing, bowing, greeting, grabbing objects by sound… when the nation’s first general-purpose humanoid robot platform “Tiangong” demonstrated these new skills, it once again caught attention. The last sensation was in April this year, when “Tiangong,” independently developed by the Beijing Embodied Intelligence Robot Innovation Center (referred to as the “Innovation Center”), achieved the world’s first humanoid running at a stable speed of 6 km/h with a full-sized pure electric humanoid robot. Four months later, “Tiangong” has been upgraded again, using a predictive reinforcement imitation learning method based on state memory, mastering more varied movements and speech-interactive grabbing capabilities under the support of a large embodied intelligence model. “When a person gives a voice command, the embodied intelligent robot can complete a set of grab-and-release actions based on the ‘open vocabulary object detection and arbitrary object segmentation multimodal model.’ We have now connected the embodied intelligence model pipeline, meaning robots can understand human commands, break down tasks, and complete them. In the future, robots will be able to help humans with more tasks,” explained Zhang Qiang, a humanoid robot algorithm expert at the Innovation Center. “We are committed to the development of key technologies and ecosystem construction for embodied intelligent robots. Currently, we are based in Beijing E-Town, and through the ‘Tiangong’ and ‘Kaiwu’ projects, we aim to promote technological innovation and industrial development, leading the industry in solving common problems.”

“We are launching two new products,” said a representative from the “Little Giant” enterprise, Tsino-Dynatron. “Among them, targeting the development trend of humanoid robots, we have independently developed the CoolDrive Mini ANT networked micro servo drive, which features high power density, high switching frequency, high bandwidth response, and low loss, suitable for applications requiring compact size and high bursts, such as humanoid robots and mechanical dogs.” Lingzu Times, established in Beijing E-Town just over eight months ago, has broken through the innovation bottleneck between lightness and stability in robot joints. Founder and COO Shao Yuanxin said, “Robot joints are the key to making humanoid robots as flexible as humans. Our self-developed Robstride04, a 120N.m integrated joint module, can drive medium-sized bipedal humanoid robots or full-sized quadruped robots.” The robotic arm used a “blue claw” to steadily grab and move a pot of tea, while soft robots demonstrated the secrets of “soft fingers” in industrial applications through an intelligent interactive robot tea art demonstration platform. The company’s self-developed flexible gripper can handle nearly 96% of irregular and fragile objects in industrial production, a level of technical complexity that only two companies globally have mastered.

In addition to significant breakthroughs in key technology development, more robots in Beijing E-Town have transformed into new productivity. UBTECH, which established its humanoid robot headquarters in Beijing E-Town this year, showcased its “humanoid robot troupe,” including Walker S and Walker S Lite, and demonstrated industrial humanoid robot solutions on-site. Haobao Yu, Vice President of UBTECH Robotics and Chairman of Beijing UBTECH Intelligent Robotics Co., Ltd., explained, “Combining end-to-end imitation learning, precise visual recognition, and fine full-body motion control technologies, the industrial version of the humanoid robot Walker S Lite has already ‘joined’ several automotive factories, such as collaborating with employees at the CTU inbound loading station in the Zeekr factory to perform handling tasks. It is the first humanoid robot in China to perform the entire process of material box handling tasks, both in execution and public display, with its operational completion and execution difficulty among the top in the industry.”

In the field of high-end medical equipment, Longwood Valley MedTech has launched ROPA, the world’s first orthopedic surgical robot equipped with AI deep learning technology. This AI+ROBOT innovation achieves surgical precision at the sub-millimeter level, addressing traditional surgical challenges such as reducing operation time, minimizing surgical risks, and alleviating patient pain,” said Dr. Zhang Yiling, Chairman of Longwood Valley MedTech. “With AI deep learning technology certified as ‘internationally leading’ by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, ROPA acts like a ‘super brain’ for orthopedic experts, allowing doctors to create individualized 3D surgical plans in just 5-10 minutes using only a patient’s CT scan. The sub-millimeter precision optical positioning system, akin to a ‘digital eye,’ provides real-time monitoring and tracking of the patient’s intraoperative position, helping surgeons overcome the visual limitations and blind spots of traditional surgeries. Paired with the ‘digital hand,’ an independently developed intelligent follow-up technology, every critical step in the surgery is executed with precision, achieving breakthroughs in surgical accuracy.” UNION STRONG showcased an intelligent surgical solution for intracranial aneurysm surgery, including a catheter shaping robot. Qin Lan, founder, chairman, and general manager of UNION STRONG, explained, “This solution is a disruptive innovation product that is both an original Chinese creation and the first of its kind globally. Its core AI software received China’s first Class III registration certificate for innovative medical devices for AI treatment, recognized as ‘internationally leading’ through national scientific and technological achievement evaluations. Through AI treatment and AI decision-making, this solution resolves critical clinical challenges, achieving ‘fully autonomous driving’ for key steps in intracranial aneurysm surgery. It not only enhances surgical precision but also improves safety and effectiveness in treatment.” This reflects Beijing E-Town’s accelerated efforts to build a global hub for “intelligent drug manufacturing.”

Moreover, SMC, a world-class manufacturer of automation control components with a 30-year history in Beijing E-Town, showcased a series of intelligent, energy-saving, and collaborative robot products, including the SMC ZXPE5 series electric vacuum gripper and the MH-X7654 series elastic fingers, which, when paired with Universal Robots, enable workpiece gripping and weighing. The Yaskawa Shougang Robot Co., Ltd.’s practical function training platform demonstrated robot capabilities such as vision-based palletizing and depalletizing, adhesive application, and robot health diagnostics, suitable for vocational college industrial robot teaching and training. JD Logistics presented a “Red Show” with its latest fifth-generation intelligent delivery vehicle, integrating 10 core technologies, including high-precision positioning, fusion perception, and behavior prediction. This vehicle represents the most scalable L4-level autonomous driving application in the industry, featuring remote on/off capabilities and monitoring, allowing real-time vehicle status management to enhance safety and efficiency. Jingcheng Machinery Electric focused on the equipment manufacturing field, showcasing innovative applications of AI technology, including AI-guided welding systems and industrial applications for welding, material handling, and smart brewing production lines. The robot machine tool loading and unloading workstation can be customized based on different characteristics of factory buildings, machine tools, and production materials, using a modular control system covering industries such as metal processing and general parts manufacturing.

Additionally, Tesla’s Optimus humanoid robot made its Beijing debut, featuring 28 active joints and 11 degrees of freedom in its hands. Ti5 Robot launched the new T230 humanoid robot. Yi Gang, Founder of Ti5 Robot, stated, “The T230 is the first humanoid robot in China, standing 2.3 meters tall, primarily used for heavy object handling. By leveraging self-developed lightweight reducers and other core components, we have achieved a robot that is light yet powerful, with strength equivalent to three times that of a normal adult.”

New products and technologies that are both internationally and domestically pioneering continue to emerge and are being transformed into new productivity, thanks to the excellent industrial ecosystem and efficient organizational model of Beijing E-Town. An official from the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area explained that as the permanent venue for the World Robot Conference, Beijing E-Town has established the “Five Ones” working mechanism: one park, one batch of platforms, one center, one fund, and one group of talents. This mechanism accelerates the construction of a national robotics industry highland, with innovation elements rapidly gathering, capabilities significantly improving, vitality fully released, and innovation entities continuously expanding.

To date, more than 100 robotics ecosystem enterprises have been established, over half of which are specialized and innovative enterprises, with a production scale nearing 10-billion-yuan, accounting for 50% of the city’s robotics industry. Significant breakthroughs have been made in core components such as precision reducers and high-performance servo actuators, and innovative achievements have been realized in specialized and intelligent drilling machines. Particularly in the embodied intelligent robotics industry, key layouts include high-level innovation platforms represented by the Embodied Intelligence Innovation Center, with leading companies like UBTECH and key component companies such as Chietcom, Tsino-Dynatron, and Lingzu Times, forming a comprehensive embodied intelligent robotics industry chain covering core components, main bodies, and applications.

A representative from Beijing E-Town Robotics Technology Industry Development Co., Ltd. introduced that the exhibition hall features nine major “robot+” scenarios, including robot + manufacturing, robot + healthcare, robot + artificial intelligence, and more. The goal is to promote production through exhibitions, inspire enterprise development strategies, and create a platform that connects platforms, industries, enterprises, and talents. For example, after the World Robot Conference, the exhibition hall will house select exhibits and provide continuous, free displays of new products and technologies for enterprises. Additionally, it will offer presentation spaces and roadshow services for robot companies to launch new products.

Moreover, within the 250,000-square-meter Beijing Robot Industry Park, a leading domestic robot testing and inspection technology platform—the National Robot Testing and Evaluation Center (Headquarters) Beijing Evaluation Center (referred to as the Evaluation Center)—has also been established. Equipped with authoritative domestic and world-class testing facilities, the center provides testing and certification services for the entire industry chain, including components, modules, complete machines, and integrated applications, for industrial, service, and special robots.

A representative from the Beijing Embodied Intelligence Robot Innovation Center (referred to as the Innovation Center) told reporters, “As the industry rapidly develops, testing and certification in technical areas such as electromagnetic compatibility, safety, reliability, and intelligence have become industry necessities. The proximity of the Evaluation Center allows us to effectively save time on testing and certification, shortening the research and development testing cycle.”

Turning our attention outdoors, the general humanoid robot platform “Tiangong,” independently developed by the Beijing Embodied Intelligence Robot Innovation Center, is navigating a dedicated robot path, occasionally tackling challenging terrains like grass and slopes. As the first provincial-level innovation center for embodied intelligent robots in China, the Innovation Center focuses on developing key common technologies and ecosystem construction for embodied intelligent robots. It is committed to tackling the core tasks of “Tiangong” and “Kaiwu,” aiming to become a leading organizer of resources, a promoter of industrial development, and a facilitator of practical applications in the embodied intelligence field. “Our goal is to address common issues in the humanoid robot industry and drive overall industrial development,” stated Xiong Youjun, General Manager of the Innovation Center.

In fact, it’s not just the Innovation Center that has gathered here; full-assembly manufacturing enterprises like the UBTECH humanoid robot headquarters and key component companies like Chietcom and Tsino-Dynatron have also joined. Furthermore, to accelerate the concentration of the robotics industry, promote technological exchange, and facilitate the transformation of innovative achievements, the Beijing Robot Industry Park established a Robotics Industry Incubator in April this year. This incubator provides services such as entrepreneurial guidance, project roadshows, investment and financing, achievement transformation, intellectual property, and policy consultation for start-ups and growing enterprises in the upstream and downstream sectors of robotics. Currently, four robotics companies—Lingzu Times, NextVPU, Ruiqu Technology, and DexForce—have signed up to join.

At the Tongming Lake National Information Technology Application Innovation Park, located 4 kilometers from the Beijing Robot Industry Park, it has been reported that Beijing E-Town is building a comprehensive AI city, with the first batch of ten benchmark application scenarios, including “AI + humanoid robots.” Here, Beijing E-Town’s largest and nationally leading public AI computing power platform has already activated 3000P of high-performance computing power. Throughout Beijing E-Town, 5000P of high-performance intelligent computing power has been deployed, with a planned computing power scale exceeding 10,000P. The Beijing Artificial Intelligence Data Training Base serves as a training ground for companies, helping large models develop the “strongest brains” and continuously advancing data aggregation in related fields to unlock the value of data.

“We have currently innovated in constructing a ‘data security physical space’ and ‘a highly efficient, interconnected data optical network,’ developed a ‘trustworthy data infrastructure,’ and formulated ‘an operational management mechanism.’ Through management mechanisms and technical means, we have built a secure environment for data circulation and model training,” a representative from the Training Base explained.

By leveraging the convenience of exhibition exchanges and testing and evaluation, bringing together leading companies like the Beijing Embodied Intelligence Robot Innovation Center, UBTECH Robotics, and Longwood Valley MedTech, and benefiting from the support of specialized incubation carriers and key component companies, along with the vast application scenarios in intelligent manufacturing factories in industries such as automotive and new displays, the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area official introduced, “In Beijing E-Town, the ‘upstream and downstream’ of the robotics industry have become ‘neighbors.’ Robotics companies can find innovative partners for research and development, manufacturing, training, testing, and even application stages without leaving the district.”

Moving forward, Beijing E-Town will accelerate the construction of an integrated and interconnected robotics industry ecosystem, continually enhancing soft and hard collaborative service support for industrial development, closely adhering to the comprehensive development needs of the robotics industry supply chain, and refining the allocation of resources such as data, platforms, services, and capital, while continually fostering an environment that attracts talent from near and far, ultimately creating an “industry ecosystem rainforest” characterized by “resource coordination, element aggregation, and innovation collaboration.”
