YYForce Humanoid Robot Training Featured On Singapore TV

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 10 (Bernama) -- YYForce Inc (YYForce) announced that its humanoid robotics training initiatives were recently featured in a dedicated television broadcast produced and aired by Mediacorp 8world’s technology and current affairs programme Meeting AI on Nov 6.

Hosted by veteran presenter Zhang Haijie, the television feature provided viewers with an in-depth, hands-on look at emerging humanoid robotics technologies and their practical commercial training workflows.

In the episode, presenter Zhang Haijie used a virtual reality headset and five motion sensors on his head, hands and feet to control a Unitree G1 humanoid robot in real time, with the system recording his movements to build training data for artificial intelligence (AI) models, the company said in a statement.

“Our vision is not about replacing people with robots. We are building toward an operating model where people, AI, humanoid robots and specialised service robots can work together, with each performing the functions where they can create the greatest value,” said YYForce Chief Executive Officer, Mike Fu.

The programme showed that teaching the robot to identify, pick up and move a cup on its own took 40 human demonstrations, followed by about eight hours of AI model training.

YYForce said it is training humanoid robots for tasks such as cleaning hotel rooms and restrooms and has set up robotics demonstration and training facilities in Singapore.
