SINGAPORE, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 strategic deployment of Unitree G1 Edu Ultimate B-U4 humanoid robots. This initiative accelerates the integration of autonomous AI into the Company’s enterprise facility management portfolio to optimize labor efficiency and expand operating margins.
The deployment initiates YY Group’s commercial framework to monetize proprietary real-world training datasets for humanoid robotics applications in the high-demand commercial facility management sector. The Company’s initial focus centers on high-frequency, labor-intensive commercial sanitation and facility maintenance workflows across shopping malls, hotels, and asset-heavy commercial real estate environments.
YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) deploys the Unitree G1 Edu Ultimate humanoid robot with NVIDIA Jetson Orin AI architecture for commercial facility management data training.
To fast-track dataset monetization, YY Group’s cleaning personnel will wear proprietary data-collection gear during active operational shifts. This captures high-fidelity, real-world workflow data—including spatial interaction, human kinematics, environmental telemetry, and real-time operational decision-making—directly converting labor hours into proprietary digital assets.
The data will process through YY Group’s advanced data training lab to scale imitation learning and simulation-to-real (Sim2Real) development. By converting human capital expertise into proprietary, structured automation data, YY Group is positioning itself as a key data provider and operator within the autonomous facility management ecosystem, driving long-term software-as-a-service (SaaS) and automation revenue lines.
The Unitree G1 Edu Ultimate B-U4 humanoid robot architecture—featuring advanced mobility, 3D touch-sensitive robotic hands, and the NVIDIA Jetson Orin onboard AI computing platform—serves as the hardware foundation for YY Group's proprietary software models.
“This initiative bridges the gap between physical labor workflows and scalable AI data infrastructure,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group Holding Limited. “We are aggressively transforming operational know-how into a proprietary, high-margin data asset. This deployment directly targets the structural labor shortages in the IFM market, optimizing contract economics and driving long-term value for enterprise clients and Nasdaq shareholders.”
The humanoid robotics initiative directly integrates with YY Group’s existing AI-native ecosystem, including its workforce optimization platform, YY Circle, and the 24IFM software platform. By blending automated workforce deployment with physical robotic execution, YY Group is scaling a hybrid operating model engineered to maximize labor productivity, lower operational overhead, and accelerate margin expansion across all asset tiers.
