YY Group launches Singapore robot training lab and pilot deployments

June 3, 2026 4:11 PM

YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) announced the opening of a Humanoid Robotics Training Lab in Singapore and pilot deployments of humanoid robots at commercial retail and hospitality facilities in the city-state.

The Singapore lab operates on NVIDIA accelerated computing technology and will serve as an exhibition space for client demonstrations. The facility complements YY Group's AI training and data collection center in Johor, Malaysia, which the company announced in April 2026.

Both facilities will capture real-world human activity data from YY Group's network of over 500,000 workers across hospitality, food and beverage, facility maintenance, security and other service roles. The data will train service robots for deployment alongside human workers in live service environments.

The company is partnering with a shopping mall and luxury hotel in Singapore to pilot humanoid robot deployments in real-world service settings. The robots will work with human professionals to gather operational data and physical-interaction telemetry for further refinement of spatial awareness and task performance.

"Our Human-Robot Co-Working framework is built on a simple principle: robots handle repetitive and physically demanding tasks while human workers focus on higher-value service," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group.

The initiatives advance the Agentic and Robotic Automation module of YY Group's four-module AI framework outlined in its May 11, 2026 Strategic Update. The company said the initiatives are supported by existing resources and do not alter its fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of $103 million to $110 million.

YY Group operates as an AI-native workforce management platform and integrated facility management provider across Asia and beyond, with operations spanning 12 countries.
