AiMOGA’s Intelligent Police Unit R001 Makes Official Debut, Ushering in a New Era of Smart Traffic Management

WUHU, China, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AiMOGA Robotics has deployed its first intelligent traffic policing robot, Intelligent Police Unit R001, at the intersection of Zhongjiang Avenue and Chizhu Mountain Road in Wuhu. The deployment brings humanoid robotics from pilot testing into frontline urban operations.

Bridging the Gap: Human-Robot Synergy

Wearing the badge “ZhiJing R001” (“Intelligent Police”), the robot is stationed on a traffic island and performs standardized hand signals with stable motion. Built to collaborate with on-site officers, R001 supports traffic flow and roadside order, allowing officers to focus on complex situations.


Engineered for the Complexity of the Road

Intelligent Police R001 is the first purpose-built humanoid in AiMOGA’s policing line. At this stage, it focuses on traffic guidance and behavioral reminders, especially for non-motorized vehicles. Integrated with urban signal systems, it can detect irregular behavior and deliver polite, standardized prompts. Core capabilities include autonomous mobility for fixed posts, high-definition road monitoring, and multi-modal perception for reliable operation in dense traffic environments.

Empowering Humans: Shifting from High-Risk to High-Value Roles

Intersections expose officers to extreme weather, exhaust, and noise. Intelligent Police R001 currently undertakes repetitive, standardized signaling at fixed intersections, supplementing on-site personnel. Continuous operation helps reduce physical strain while validating human–robot collaboration, aligning with AiMOGA’s principle of “technology in service of people.”

Global Scale and Real-World Validation

AiMOGA follows scenario-driven development, with robots deployed across 100+ environments. In 2025, the company delivered 300 humanoid robots and 1,000 quadruped robots, completed a Series A funding round, and achieved EU certification for both hardware and software, operating in 30+ countries and regions.

“Learning from the Street, Not the Lab”

“Products that remain in the laboratory never truly mature,” said Zhang Guibing, General Manager of AiMOGA Robotics. “Real-world deployment is essential for achieving reliability.”

AiMOGA plans to further develop the Intelligent Police series to support emergency coordination and real-time public information services, reinforcing humanoid assistants in safer and more efficient urban traffic systems.

The “Ge Jun 2026 New Year Eve’s Talk” was grandly held in Guangzhou, bringing together prominent business leaders and more than 1,000 entrepreneurs to share insights on the AI revolution, economic transformation, and the future pathways of high-quality development.

From Hidden Cornerstones to Transformation Pioneers — Painting the Resilient Foundation of China’s Economy

In his keynote address, Ge Jun outlined a vivid panorama of “Era Pioneers.” The picture encompassed technology trailblazers riding the crest of the AI wave, transformation leaders revitalizing traditional industries, and countless unsung yet indispensable cornerstone entrepreneurs. Together, these diverse figures revealed an essential truth: regardless of scale or spotlight, true pioneers are those who continuously create value in their fields.

“If these stories from across the country are not shared more widely, it would be unfair to the entrepreneurial community—and irresponsible to our times.” Ge remarked with conviction. Over the past six years, he has traveled across the country, engaging with countless SME founders. In his view, it is precisely these resilient, often unsung enterprises that underpin the most authentic strength and enduring warmth of China’s economy.

A New Generation Takes the Stage — Writing New Answers with New Tools

Midway through the address, Ge shifted focus to the rising generation of entrepreneurs. He depicted their multifaceted profiles, and emphasized that the new generation is redefining what it means to be an era pioneer. With new perspectives, new tools and new value systems, they inject fresh momentum into the future.

Addressing the critical issue of generational succession in the private economy, Ge highlighted developments ranging from the revival of legacy brands to IP-driven transformation, and revolutionary changes in manufacturing and communications. True succession, as he emphasized, is never a simple replication of experience. It is the continuation of a courageous, innovative spirit, paired with comprehensive renewal of tools, methodologies and connection models.

The Future Is Now — Finding the “Boarding Pass” and “Charging Station” in the AI Era

Standing at the threshold of a new technological revolution, Ge raised a profound question: “As AI redefines the core of productivity, how can enterprises and individuals ensure they are not left behind?”

In response, he laid out three crucial action pillars, forming a clear strategic framework for enterprises to navigate transformation and unlock new growth:

All Things Reborn — Every industry can be renewed with new technologies and new ways of thinking. New value always emerges from the reshaping and integration of traditional business models.

Local-Driven Prosperity — By deeply cultivating local markets, leveraging regional advantages and policy dividends, and building competitiveness within the dual-circulation framework, enterprises can realize “globalization at their doorstep.”

Purposeful Recharging — In an age of accelerating technological changes, emotional connection and the shared pursuit of meaning are becoming the ultimate “charging stations,” something AI can never replace.

According to relevant reports, this New Year Eve’s Talk marks an important milestone in Ge Jun’s ongoing commitment to empowering the entrepreneurial community. In this year’s Grain Rain season, he will continue to provide forward-looking perspectives and long-term growth companionship for entrepreneurs navigating an increasingly complex era.

Allianz Risk Barometer 2026: Cyber remains top business risk but AI fastest riser at #2 in Asia Pacific

  • Cyber, especially ransomware attacks, ranks as the #1 risk for companies of all sizes (36% of responses)
  • Artificial Intelligence is the biggest riser and jumps from #9 to #2 (32%), highlighting the emerging risks for companies in almost all industry sectors
  • Business interruption, strongly connected to geopolitical risks and natural catastrophes, remains a significant concern at #3

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 January 2026 – Cyber incidents created many headlines in 2025 and are still the biggest worry for companies in Asia Pacific and globally in 2026, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. The past year has also been a significant one for accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), which is reflected in its ranking as the biggest riser in the annual survey at #2 as a complex source of operational, legal, and reputational risk for businesses. For the first time in five years, Business interruption is not in the top two risks for Asia Pacific, dropping to #3. Yet, this peril remains a significant concern given it can be a consequence of other risks in the top 10.

Asia Pacific Top 10 risks
Asia Pacific Top 10 risks

Allianz Commercial CEO Thomas Lillelund comments: “Following the volatility and uncertainty of 2025, businesses continue to face interconnected and highly complex risks in 2026’s fast-changing environment. Given the continuing rise of AI across society and industry, it is unsurprising that it is the big mover in the Allianz Risk Barometer. As well as bringing huge opportunities, its transformative potential and rapid evolution and adoption are also reshaping the risk landscape, making it a standout concern for firms of all sizes worldwide, alongside other more established threats.”

Christian Sandric, Allianz Commercial President, Commercial, Asia Pacific, says, “The evolving risk landscape, particularly in the areas of cyber threats and the adoption of AI, pose new challenges to businesses in the region. With Asian economies playing a pivotal role in global and regional trade, the potential for business interruption also remains a significant concern. This volatile environment stresses the importance of resilience in a business’ supply chain, response measures, and risk management strategies to withstand and recover from disruptions.”

Cyber risks the biggest concern for companies

Cyber incidents is the top risk in Asia Pacific, and a top three risk in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Thailand. The Asia Pacific region experienced the most cyberattacks in 2024, increasing 13% year-on-year and accounting for 34% of attacks globally. While businesses in Asia, in particular large companies, have shown an increase in cyber resilience and appetite for cyber risk transfer solutions, their overall cyber coverage is generally lower compared to American or European peers and a significant portion of large organizations still remain self-insured.

Globally, cyber incidents is the top risk for the fifth year in a row, with its highest-ever score (42% of responses), and by a higher margin than ever before (+10%). It ranks as the main corporate concern in every region (Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa and Middle East). The continued presence of cyber at the top of the Allianz Risk Barometer reflects a deepening reliance on digital technology at a time when the cyber threat landscape, and geopolitical and regulatory environments, are fast evolving.

AI creates emerging risks as well as new business opportunities

Ranking #2 in Asia Pacific, AI is a top three risk and biggest riser in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, and Singapore, economies which are in the top 50% in terms of AI readiness. More than 90% of companies in the region are planning to scale up Generative AI over two years, with a focus on managing costs and lifting revenues.

Globally, AI has surged into the top tier of business concerns, rising to #2 (32%) in 2026 from #10 in 2025 – the biggest jump in this year’s ranking. It is a big mover in all regions – ranked #2 also in the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, and #3 in Europe – and is a growing risk for companies of all sizes too, moving into the top three for large, mid-sized and smaller firms. As AI adoption accelerates and becomes more deeply embedded in core business operations, respondents expect AI-related risks to intensify, especially when it comes to liability concerns. The rapid spread of generative and agentic AI systems, paired with their growing real-world use, has raised awareness of just how exposed organizations have become.

Business interruption strongly connected to geopolitical risks and natural catastrophes

Business interruption (BI) is the third most significant risk in Asia Pacific and a top three risk in China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and South Korea. The closely linked risk of changes in legislation and regulation – which includes trade tariffs – ranks #4 (25%), unchanged year-on-year driven by concerns over growing protectionism. Commerce is increasingly taking place between geopolitically aligned economies, resulting in new paths in global trade and the emergence of next generation trade hubs, including Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand in the region.

2025 marked a shift towards protectionist trade policies and tariff wars that brought uncertainty to the world economy. Geopolitical risks are putting supply chains under increasing pressure, but as risks rise, just 3% of Allianz Risk Barometer respondents view their supply chains as “very resilient”. In the past year alone, trade restrictions have tripled to affect an estimated US$2.7trn of merchandise – nearly 20% of global imports according to Allianz Trade – fueling companies exploring trends such as friendshoring and regionalization. These developments lead to a high-risk perception – 29% of respondents rank BI as a top peril, placing it at #3 globally, although it drops a position year-on-year.

Natural catastrophes ranks #5 (22%) in Asia Pacific, and is a top three risk in Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand. The region experienced several natural catastrophes in 2025, including the Myanmar Earthquake, Typhoons Matmo, Ragasa, and Bualoi, Cyclone Alfred, wildfires in South Korea, as well as floods in Malaysia and Thailand. A delayed onset of the tropical cyclone season resulted in flooding and landslides, exerting a high human and economic toll in Asia where the insurance gap remains high at over 80%. According to research, there has been a significant increase in the intensity of tropical cyclones in recent decades, and these trends are linked to rising ocean temperatures and climate change, which retains its #6 ranking (19%) in the survey.

Head-to-Head Real-World Data: Cadonilimab Outperforms PD-1 Inhibitors in First-Line PD-L1-Low Gastric Cancer

HONG KONG, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Akeso, Inc. (9926.HK) announced the presentation of a real-world study at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium (ASCO GI), comparing cadonilimab plus chemotherapy against a PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy for the first-line (1L) treatment for advanced gastric (G) or gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer with PD-L1 CPS <5 (a propensity-matched, retrospective cohort study).

The study results showed that the cadonilimab regimen, compared to the PD-1 monoclonal antibody regimen, significantly prolonged patients’ overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Both OS (HR=0.49, P=0.025) and PFS (HR=0.43, P=0.006) demonstrated statistically significant improvements. The full study has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology.

These real-world findings are highly consistent with the “all-comer benefit” profile previously observed for cadonilimab in the Phase III registrational trial COMPASSION-15. This real-world, head-to-head comparison further underscores cadonilimab’s potential to elevate the standard of cancer immunotherapy and address clinical challenges unresolved by single-target PD-1 inhibitors. Based on the data from the pivotal Phase III COMPASSION-15 study, cadonilimab received approval in China in September 2024 for the first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer across all patient subgroups and this indication was added to cadonilimab’s list of covered indication under National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL), effective 2026.

Anti-PD-1 antibodies combined with chemotherapy is the international standard of care for advanced gastric cancer. However, its efficacy is significantly limited in patients with PD-L1-low (CPS < 5) or negative (CPS < 1) expression, where these patients constitute nearly half of all advanced gastric cancer cases. As a result, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) restricted all approved first-line PD-1 inhibitors for advanced gastric cancer to only PD-L1-positive patients in 2024. This aligns with recommendations from leading guidelines, such as those of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), which prioritize PD-1-based regimens for patients with PD-L1 CPS ≥5. Consequently, PD-L1-low or -negative advanced gastric cancer remains a major unmet clinical need globally due to thelack of effective immunotherapy options. A recent real-world study provides new evidence addressing this challenge.

In this retrospective analysis, patients with PD-L1-low (CPS < 5) advanced G/GEJ cancer received first-line therapy with either cadonilimab plus chemotherapy or a PD-1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy. With a median follow-up of 11.0 months as of February 28, 2025, the results showed that the cadonilimab-based regimen achieved statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in both PFS and OS compared to the PD-1 inhibitor-based regimen.

Some Key Findings from the Study published at GI-ASCO:

  • Significant PFS and OS Improvement: Among PD-L1-low patients, the cadonilimab group achieved a median OS of 14.3 months, significantly longer than the 10.3 months observed in the PD-1 inhibitor group (OS HR=0.49, p=0.025), representing a 51% reduction in the risk of death. The median PFS was also extended to 9.3 months compared to 5.8 months in the control group (PFS HR=0.43, p=0.006), corresponding to a 57% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death.
  • Higher Objective Response Rate (ORR): The objective response rate was superior in the cadonilimab group compared to the PD-1 inhibitor group (73.3% vs. 57.1%) for PD-L1-low patients.
  • Manageable Safety and Good Tolerability: The incidence of any-grade adverse events was comparable between the two groups, and no statistically significant difference observed in the rate of grade 3-4 adverse events between the two groups.

Akeso is actively advancing several prospective head-to-head Phase III registration studies with cadonilimab, aiming to elevate current standard immunotherapies. Notably, the international multi-center Phase III registration study COMPASSION-37, evaluating cadonilimab plus chemotherapy versus the PD-1 inhibitor nivolumab plus chemotherapy for first-line treatment of advanced gastric cancer, received approval from the U.S. FDA to initiate at the end of 2025. This milestone marks a new phase in the global development of cadonilimab.
