#PepsiKickOffShow

Pepsi® and UC3 are excited to announce that LINKIN PARK will headline the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi on May 31st at the Munich Football Arena. Pepsi and UEFA will once again mark the final with its eagerly anticipated curtain raiser, with the event set to be an unforgettable experience just minutes ahead of the match.

 

 

LINKIN PARK recently made a triumphant return to the spotlight with the release of FROM ZERO, their first new music in seven years. The album hit the top of the charts across the globe and features #1 smashes “Heavy Is The Crown” and “The Emptiness Machine,” which surged as the biggest rock song of 2024 with over 250 million streams. Notably, as reported by Billboard, LINKIN PARK was the one-and-only rock band to cross over 2 Billion yearly streams in 2024. The momentum continues this year with their ferocious new single “Up From The Bottom,” taken from their upcoming From Zero (Deluxe Edition), releasing on May 16. Meanwhile, the band continues their massive From Zero World Tour, picking up next in Austin, TX on April 26, winding their way across sold-out stadiums in Europe for the summer, and culminating in South America this fall.

Now, for 2025, LINKIN PARK is taking its brand-new era to new heights, by revealing that they will be taking the stage at this year’s UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi, with a setlist representing the best of their legacy, past and present.

To announce this iconic collaboration, LINKIN PARK has composed and recorded an electrifying new remix which features in a short film to mark the announcement. The featured track blends the band’s iconic sound with the culture of European football, incorporating the immediately recognisable riffs of their 4X Platinum hit “Numb,” with sounds inspired by UEFA Champions League football – the strike of leather, the whistle of a free kick, the sounds of the most passionate fans in the world. The film goes on to deliver an emotionally charged performance of the new bespoke track, together with high-octane UEFA Champions League football footage, paying homage to the way the UEFA Champions League Final Kick-Off Show presented by Pepsi clashes football and entertainment together to create one night of epic entertainment.

LINKIN PARK commented: “With our new album and ongoing tour, we’ve been overwhelmed by the fans’ energy and excitement. We can’t wait to share that same energy and excitement at the UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi. This marks a totally new experience for us as a band, and we’re excited to share some of our favourite songs from the past and present, with the thousands in the crowd and millions watching around the world.”

Eric Melis, VP of Global Brand Marketing – Pepsi at PepsiCo, added: “We are proud to announce that one of the most influential rock bands of the 21st century will be headlining this year’s UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi. This marks our ninth year bringing together millions of viewers from around the world, with LINKIN PARK sure to put on a show like no other, live from the Munich Football Arena in Germany. We’re delighted to be working with a group of artists who live by our ‘Thirsty For More’ philosophy, reflecting the same spirit of innovation and boldness that Pepsi embodies – and we can’t wait to see how fans react to this unmissable show.”

Guy-Laurent Epstein, Co-Managing Director, UC3, said: “This year’s UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi promises to be a spectacular moment, with one of the world’s most iconic rock bands performing live just minutes before the biggest match in European club football. Together with Pepsi, we’re proud to continue enhancing the fan experience – both in the stadium and for millions watching around the world – with unforgettable entertainment on and off the pitch.”

Once more, Pepsi and UEFA have marked the UEFA Champions League final with a momentous music performance showcasing the world’s most iconic artists and uniting football and music fans through one compelling entertainment spectacle. The UEFA Champions League Final Kick Off Show presented by Pepsi will be aired all around the world and territories globally, just minutes before the stand-out fixture of the club football calendar commences and is the embodiment of Pepsi’s ‘Thirsty For More’ global platform.

Fans can tune in to watch the Kick Off Show via their local broadcaster and through the official UEFA YouTube channel. Fans are encouraged to stay in-the-know by following Pepsi on Instagram, X (formally Twitter), and Facebook.

Daimon Robotics Product Line Offically Launched, Accelerating the Industrialization of Embodied Intelligence

SHENZHEN, China, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Daimon Robotics officially launched the innovative product line on April 16, including the world’s first Multi-dimensional High-resolution High-frequency Vision-based Tactile Sensors DM-Tac W, the Multi-dimensional Tactile Sensing Dexterous Hand DM-Hand1, and Portable Wearable Teleoperation Data collection System,DM-EXton.

Daimon Robotics Product Line
Daimon Robotics Product Line

Daimon Robotics’ products seamlessly integrate the robot’s perception-operation-learning process, providing a disruptive, embodied intelligence one-stop solution, accelerating the industrialization of embodied intelligence.

Equip Robots with Tactile PerceptionDM-Tac W

As a multi-dimensional, high-resolution, high-frequency vision-based tactile sensor, it innovatively integrates a camera within the sensor. When an object contacts the sensor’s surface, it captures the deformation field in real time, using proprietary algorithms, in order to achieve stable and robust dense tactile perception.

Covered with 40,000 sensing units per square centimeter, DM-Tac W significantly surpasses the human hand baseline, which is 240 sensing units per square centimeter and is hundreds of times denser than the most advanced array-based tactile sensors currently available.

Based on its ultra-high-density sensing array, DM-Tac W can capture a variety of sensing information such as shape, texture, hardness, slippage, contact force, and tangential force during contact. This provides end-effectors like grippers with tactile capabilities close to human touch, enabling precise manipulation and adaptive interaction in complex scenarios, which reflects Daimon Robotics’ relentless pursuit of excellence in technology and product development.

DM-Hand1, Enhanced Robot Flexibility and Dexterity

The DM-Hand1 is a new type of end effector that mimics the structure of the human hand, offering abundant degrees of freedom. With a hybrid force-position control algorithm, it can precisely mimic human hand movements to perform accurate grasping actions.

DM-Hand1 is equipped with Daimon Robotics’ unique millimeter-level thickness vision-based tactile sensor. While ensuring high resolution, it reduces the sensor thickness from several centimeters to just a few millimeters, and can easily fit into spaces as small as the human fingertip. This significantly reduces the hand’s finger thickness, enhancing the robot’s flexibility and adaptability.

Owing to the rich multi-modal tactile perception capabilities, DM-Hand1 can accurately identify various object attributes, such as hardness, texture, distributed contact forces, as well as contact events. This allows the robot to perform advanced tasks, including adaptive gripping force control, handling of fragile components, and precision assembly of intricate parts.

Portable Wearable Teleoperation Data Collection Device, DM-EXton

DM-EXton is Daimon Robotics’ latest  teleoperation data collection system which is portable and wearable.  Designed specifically for robot remote control and data collection for robot learning, its performance is at the top level of the market.DM-Tac W, DM-Hand1, DM-EXton, and others integrate the core technologies of robot perception, manipulation, and learning, forming a complete product line for embodied artificial intelligence.

Daimon Robotics’ product line has been implemented on a small-scale development in embodied artificial intelligence, smart logistics, intelligent manufacturing, and laboratory automation. The product series are now available for global developers. In 2025, the equally impressive product series, including DM-Tac F, DM-Hand2, will be gradually released.
