HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Robotics maker Unitree is dedicated to its mission of creating fun, friendly, and engaging robots for the public, aiming to bring joy and companionship through robotics technology. It is taking humanoid integration global, with its G1 model making headlines across continents. From Dubai to the United States, Kazakhstan, and beyond, the innovative robot is captivating users and audiences in both high-profile and everyday settings.

Recent global highlights include the G1 greeting His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, at Union House. The robot strolled through the Museum of the Future and navigated busy streets to mingle with visitors, creating buzz and heightening awareness of the robot across the UAE. The G1 has become part of the Museum of the Future‘s interactive exhibits, greeting visitors and showcasing the latest advancements in robotics.

In the U.S., “Jake the Rizzbot”—a Unitree G1 operated by users—stunned crowds in Austin and San Francisco, going viral online with its amusing interactions with passers-by. Recently at Venice Beach, the agile humanoid sported a cowboy hat and silver chain that attracted onlookers as it strutted down the boardwalk, dishing out Gen Z slang and AI-generated charm. Passersby pulled out phones to capture the unexpected spectacle, with some approaching for selfies and handshakes, further cementing Jake’s reputation as a social media sensation.

In Kazakhstan, the G1 walked the streets of Almaty during the Nauryz holiday, wearing a traditional Kazakh kalpak and robes. In the festive and lively springtime atmosphere, it greeted residents and drew the interest of both children and adults with its personable style. The robot shook hands with attendees and posed for photos.

Together, these deployments highlight a new phase in human-robot interaction, demonstrating the G1’s ability to engage, delight, and serve in real-world environments.

Bridging Robotics Research and Everyday Use

The Unitree G1 is designed to move beyond demonstrations into real applications. Humanoid robots like the G1 are being explored as assistants in customer service, education, caregiving, entertainment, and household support. This model’s lifelike movements and approachable interactions help bridge the gap between advanced robotics R&D and daily utility.

At the same time, Unitree attaches great importance to information security and user safety, and continues to make ongoing efforts to address various security-related issues, providing users with a better experience.

On the foundation of safety and reliability, robotics technology is widely explored by universities, entertainment companies, sports teams, and industrial partners, proving that humanoid robots can add value across diverse sectors. For example, recent academic research at the University of California San Diego has conducted secondary development with the G1 to explore how humanoid robots can support direct clinical tasks through teleoperation—a demonstration of the broader potential for robotics in specialized, high-stakes fields.

Future Outlook

With mass production and delivery now underway, Unitree is expanding its global market share and strengthening its role as a leader in humanoid robotics.

Alongside the G1, Unitree has introduced the R1—a humanoid robot around 1.2 meters tall, with improved performance, a more accessible price point, and a customizable appearance. By lowering barriers for developers and expanding opportunities for consumers, the R1 is accelerating growth of the robotics ecosystem.

With every deployment, Unitree advances its mission to provide friendly robots that serve humanity—making robotics more approachable, useful, and joyful in everyday life.

Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok Marks 5th Anniversary with a Grand Celebration

Highlighting five years of success, the destination continues to elevate its appeal through a comprehensive marketing strategy and the ongoing addition of world-class luxury brands.


BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 August 2025 – Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok, Thailand’s first and only premium outlet destination, proudly marks its 5th anniversary. The milestone highlights the success of its comprehensive business strategy that spans marketing, customer engagement with both Thai and international shoppers, and strengthening international brand recognition through a distinctive and exceptional shopping experience.

17381.jpg

Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok is managed by Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Siam Piwat Group—Thailand’s leading real estate and retail developer—and Simon Property Group from the United States, a real estate investment trust engaged in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment, and mixed-use destinations. This powerful partnership has enabled Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to set itself apart and achieve outstanding success within just five years, securing its position as Thailand’s only world-class premium outlet destination.

Michael Tang, Managing Director of Siam Piwat Simon Co., Ltd., stated that over the past five years, the company has been dedicated to developing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok into a truly world-class shopping destination, with a strong focus on understanding customer behavior and needs. He emphasized that delivering exceptional experiences, combined with value and affordability, lies at the core of retail. Moving forward, the company will continue to evolve its strategies to keep up with the ever-changing world. One key strategy is the continuous expansion of the brand portfolio. Last year, the outlet welcomed renowned names such as Emilio Pucci, Diane von Furstenberg, Hoka, Carnival, Element 72, and Smiley—broadening its mix of luxury, international fashion, and sports brands to cater to the diverse preferences of today’s consumers.

This continued success has driven the addition of several renowned brands this year, bringing Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok to a 99% occupancy rate—effectively full capacity. Many of these new arrivals are global icons and powerful magnets, further enhancing the center’s lifestyle product portfolio. The latest additions include iconic global names such as Givenchy, the French fashion house celebrated for its Parisian elegance, now opening its first and only outlet store in Thailand. Polo Ralph Lauren, the legendary American brand known for its timeless classic style, and TAG Heuer, the Swiss luxury watchmaker noted for its chronograph expertise and powerful sporty designs, have also joined with the debut of Thailand’s first pop-up flagship store.

More exciting brand openings are set for September and October. These include Tory Burch, the American label celebrated for its high-quality, beautiful, and timeless classic designs that inspire women worldwide. In October, PP Space will also debut, bringing together a curated selection of world-class luxury brands to further elevate the shopping experience. A key highlight is Palm Angels, a famous Italian fashion brand admired by fashionistas worldwide for its bold graphic designs—such as the iconic teddy bear—paired with its distinctive gothic logo and monogram motif. The brand brings a unique streetwear aesthetic that balances simplicity with intricate detail, crafted with high-quality materials and precise Italian tailoring. Another standout addition is Crocs, a footwear brand for health-conscious individuals, made from special materials that help reduce impact and are lightweight, making them a perfect choice for those seeking comfortable and supportive footwear.

Popular luxury labels such as Balenciaga, Burberry, Ferragamo, Givenchy, Montblanc, and Versace continue to hold a strong position among discerning shoppers, consistently showcasing their best-selling collections. International fashion brands, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Longchamp, Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Karl Lagerfeld, and Lacoste, also draw significant attention. In the sportswear category, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok features Thailand’s largest mono-brand outlets, hosting top brands like Nike, Adidas, Asics, New Balance, Hoka, Puma, Skechers, Under Armour, Anta, and Warrix.

The strong presence of leading brands at Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok has driven a 15% increase in customer spending and service usage during the first seven months of 2025 (January–July) compared to the same period last year. Michael Tang noted that despite global and domestic economic challenges, which have led to a decline in certain tourist segments, the company has sustained continuous growth through a comprehensive marketing strategy. By offering renowned brands that meet the expectations of its target customers, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok continues to focus on quality markets. Thai shoppers, who account for 80% of its core customer base, remain strong spenders, particularly during festivals and long holidays, while international visitors—primarily from India, ASEAN countries, and the Middle East—represent 20% of customers and demonstrate significant purchasing power with a keen interest in world-class brands.

To show appreciation for its valued shoppers, Siam Premium Outlets Bangkok has launched a special campaign to celebrate its 5th anniversary. The “Always Worth the Trip” campaign is offering shoppers an exceptional experience with discounts of up to 80% and a range of exclusive privileges from September 1 to October 31, 2025.

State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company: Supporting the Street Vending Economy and Enhancing Community Livelihoods

XUZHOU, China, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company is proactively addressing the developmental needs of street vending by implementing targeted power protection measures. These initiatives aim to ensure both the safety and orderliness of street vending operations through professional services. To facilitate this, the company has organized a specialized team to conduct door-to-door visits and inspections of temporary stalls. The focus has been on identifying issues such as aging socket lines and haphazard wiring that could pose significant safety hazards. Notably, in areas with a high concentration of electrical equipment—such as barbecue stalls and iced drink vendors—leakage protection switches have been installed on-site to establish a robust defense against electrical risks from a hardware standpoint. Throughout the inspection process, staff not only promptly addressed identified hazards but also provided tailored professional advice to vendors based on their specific circumstances. This included reminders to keep electrical power strips away from water sources and recommendations for standardizing wiring practices for high-power equipment, effectively mitigating risks at an early stage.

In response to the awareness deficiency exhibited by certain vendors who prioritize business operations over safety, the company has intensified its efforts in safety education and public outreach. Considering the unique characteristics of electricity usage during the summer months, practical knowledge such as “Do not touch electrical appliances with wet hands” and “Disconnect the main switch promptly when closing your stall” has been disseminated among vendors through case studies, interactive Q&A sessions, and other engaging formats. Additionally, an “Electricity Safety Guide” was distributed to assist vendors in systematically mastering essential safe electricity practices while gradually enhancing their awareness of necessary precautions. To ensure efficient service responses, State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company has concurrently established a WeChat group dedicated to electricity usage services, facilitating 24-hour online support for merchants’ needs. Whether addressing sudden circuit failures or providing daily electricity consultations, stall owners can swiftly communicate their concerns via the WeChat group. The staff will promptly follow up on these issues, thereby creating a closed-loop service model characterized by early detection of potential hazards and rapid problem resolution. This initiative allows rural street stall owners to experience reliable power services while operating with peace of mind, thus injecting sustained momentum into the robust development of the street stall economy.
