Studi Terbaru EggNest yang Diterbitkan di JAHA dan Pengecualian Regulasi di Negara Bagian Texas Memvalidasi Peralihan Menuju Prosedur Tanpa Apron di Laboratorium Intervensi

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:48:00 +0700

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Egg Medical hari ini mengumumkan publikasi studi prospektif dalam Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) yang mengevaluasi Perangkat Perlindungan Radiasi yang Ditingkatkan (Enhanced Radiation Protection Device/ERPD) dari EggNest.

Penelitian klinis yang dilakukan dalam kondisi nyata di The Christ Hospital, Cincinnati, OH, menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan radiasi memungkinkan tenaga medis di laboratorium intervensi melakukan prosedur dengan aman tanpa perlu mengenakan apron timbal yang berat.

Sebagai bentuk validasi atas temuan klinis tersebut dalam praktik, Departemen Layanan Kesehatan Negara Bagian Texas baru-baru ini memberikan pengecualian terhadap regulasi radiasi negara bagian kepada Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio.

"Sistem EggNest melindungi seluruh anggota tim sehingga mereka dapat memilih untuk tidak mengenakan apron atau mengenakan apron ultraringan yang terasa seperti rompi ringan," ujar Dr. Santiago Garcia, dokter spesialis jantung intervensi di The Christ Hospital sekaligus peneliti utama dalam penelitian tersebut. "Data komprehensif ini memberikan landasan berbasis bukti bagi tim intervensi untuk secara signifikan mengurangi beban pada otot sekaligus meningkatkan keselamatan terhadap paparan radiasi."

Temuan Utama yang Diterbitkan di JAHA

Pengurangan Paparan Radiasi Tanpa Apron: Perkiraan dosis radiasi tahunan pada area leher operator utama turun dari 86,7 mRem dengan pelindung standar menjadi 25,5 mRem dengan EggNest Complete (p < 0,001). Sebagai perbandingan, menurut CDC, penerbangan selama 5?6 jam menghasilkan paparan radiasi sekitar ~3,5 mRem.

Paparan Minimal pada Semua Peran: Dengan perangkat perlindungan radiasi EggNest Complete ERPD, dosis efektif total untuk seluruh tenaga laboratorium, termasuk operator utama, asisten tindakan, dan perawat sirkuler, hanya mencapai 1% dari batas maksimum tahunan ICRP (5.000 mRem).

Kinerja Apron Ultraringan: Penggunaan perangkat EggNest ERPD bersama apron ultraringan (0,125 mm) menghasilkan dosis radiasi tahunan yang jauh lebih rendah dibandingkan penggunaan apron berat konvensional (0,5 mm) dengan pelindung standar. Operator utama menerima dosis EDE-1 tahunan sebesar 51,4 mRem saat menggunakan apron timbal 0,5 mm dengan pelindung standar, dibandingkan dengan 1,4 mRem saat menggunakan apron timbal 0,125 mm dengan EggNest Complete (p < 0,001).

"Pengurangan paparan radiasi yang kami capai dengan EggNest secara mendasar mengubah pendekatan kami terhadap keselamatan di laboratorium. Saya merasa sepenuhnya nyaman bekerja tanpa apron," ujar Dr. Tim Henry, Direktur Medis The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education di The Christ Hospital dan mantan ketua SCAI. "Hal ini membuka jalan menuju masa depan yang lebih sehat dan berkelanjutan bagi operator dan staf."

Bebas Timbal Secara Bertanggung Jawab

Egg Medical menekankan filosofi yang fleksibel dan mengutamakan keselamatan: Bebas Timbal Secara Bertanggung Jawab (Lead-Free, Responsibly). Tidak ada satu pun pendekatan yang cocok untuk semua situasi di laboratorium intervensi modern. Teknologi EggNest dirancang untuk mendukung prosedur yang memungkinkan penggunaan apron sebagai pilihan jika telah disetujui, bukan untuk memaksakan satu standar praktik yang sama.

Zoom mengembangkan strategi AI melalui Unified Context Layer baru yang membantu mengubah percakapan dalam rapat menjadi pekerjaan yang tuntas

Fri, 23 Oct 2026 07:43:00 +0700

Perusahaan ini memperkenalkan serangkaian produk AI untuk mengatasi kesenjangan percakapan di Zoom Workplace, pengalaman pelanggan, perangkat pengembang, dan acara

SAN JOSE, California, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dalam konferensi pelanggan tahunan Zoomtopia yang berlangsung hari ini, Zoom Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZM), platform terkemuka yang mengutamakan AI untuk menghubungkan manusia, memperkenalkan Unified Context Layer baru serta sejumlah produk baru dengan kemampuan berbasis AI.

Berbagai penawaran baru ini dirancang untuk membantu perusahaan mengubah konteks rapat yang kaya menjadi hasil kerja yang bermakna guna mempercepat penyelesaian pekerjaan.

Setiap hari, percakapan bisnis menjadi dasar pengambilan keputusan penting sekaligus membentuk riwayat percakapan dengan pelanggan. Interaksi dengan pelanggan dapat dimulai melalui rapat, dilanjutkan melalui telepon, hingga berlanjut dalam rangkaian pesan di obrolan (chat). Namun, ketika konteks tersebut tersebar di berbagai aplikasi, pengguna dan agen AI dapat kehilangan alur percakapan. Akibatnya, tim harus menghabiskan banyak waktu untuk memahami kembali hal yang terjadi, waktu kejadiannya, dan tindak lanjut yang perlu dilakukan.

Unified Context Layer baru dari Zoom membantu mengatasi kesenjangan tersebut dengan menghubungkan riwayat percakapan dengan dokumen dan data yang relevan. Secara keseluruhan, berbagai sumber tersebut memberikan gambaran yang lebih utuh kepada pengguna dan agen AI mengenai pekerjaan yang sedang dilakukan serta langkah selanjutnya yang perlu diambil.

Lapisan baru ini menghubungkan percakapan dengan aktivitas yang berlangsung hampir secara real time di Zoom dan aplikasi pihak ketiga yang terintegrasi. Dengan demikian, pengguna dan agen AI dapat mengakses konteks bisnis yang sebelumnya mungkin hilang atau terisolasi dalam sistem lain. Pengaturan dan kontrol yang dapat dikonfigurasi membantu mengelola akses, sedangkan koordinasi antar agen AI mengubah konteks bisnis menjadi wawasan yang dapat ditindaklanjuti.

Zoom semakin berkembang menjadi sistem tindakan melalui pemanfaatan perangkat AI perusahaan secara luas oleh berbagai organisasi, baik besar maupun kecil.

Jumlah pelanggan Zoom Virtual Agent melonjak sebesar 256%1. Sementara itu, pengguna yang memanfaatkan berbagai perangkat AI Zoom melaporkan bahwa mereka dapat menyelesaikan tugas dua kali lebih cepat. Sebanyak 72% pengguna menyatakan bahwa teknologi tersebut memberikan dampak bisnis yang tinggi atau sangat tinggi, dibandingkan dengan rata-rata pasar sebesar 63%2. Zoom memperkirakan pendapatan tahunannya akan melampaui US$5 miliar pada tahun ini.

Jangkauan Zoom di kalangan pelanggan perusahaan semakin luas di berbagai industri, mulai dari layanan kesehatan, jasa keuangan, ritel, hingga pendidikan. Hal ini mendukung upaya Zoom dalam mewujudkan visinya tentang produktivitas di tempat kerja, yakni mempersempit kesenjangan antara percakapan dan eksekusi.

"Kemampuan model AI bergantung pada tingkat pemahamannya terhadap bisnis Anda, dan konteks tersebutlah yang menjadi pembeda utama," ujar Eric Yuan, pendiri sekaligus CEO Zoom. "Pengalaman penggunaan produk yang terfragmentasi menyebabkan percakapan terisolasi, menghambat pengambilan keputusan, dan memperlambat kinerja bisnis. Kini, melalui Unified Context Layer, kami sedang membangun fondasi bagi sistem tindakan yang dirancang untuk mengubah percakapan menjadi pekerjaan yang tuntas."

"Tim kami memiliki informasi yang mereka butuhkan, tetapi informasi tersebut sering kali tersebar di berbagai rapat, catatan, dan sistem yang berbeda," ujar Christine Sarros, senior vice president of Enterprise Engineering, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. "Solusi baru Zoom dapat membantu menyatukan konteks tersebut. Dengan demikian, tim dapat memulai percakapan dengan pelanggan berdasarkan pemahaman yang lebih jelas mengenai hal-hal yang telah dibahas, keputusan yang telah diambil, dan langkah selanjutnya yang perlu dilakukan. Kami melihat peluang untuk mengurangi waktu yang dihabiskan dalam menyusun kembali riwayat percakapan, sehingga lebih banyak waktu dapat digunakan untuk membantu pelanggan kami melangkah maju."

Dalam acara Zoomtopia, Zoom mewujudkan visi tersebut melalui berbagai inovasi di bidang kolaborasi, AI, pengalaman pelanggan, dan acara. Berbagai pengumuman berikut menunjukkan bagaimana seluruh inovasi tersebut menghubungkan konteks bisnis dengan perangkat dan alur kerja yang benar-benar digunakan pengguna untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan.

Embodied AI & Humanoid Foundations: YYForce is adopting the NVIDIA Project GR00T foundation model framework alongside NVIDIA Isaac Sim-powered by Omniverse-to execute rapid simulation-to-real (Sim-to-Real) training, synthetic data generation, and digital-twin task validation before physical rollout.

Operational Acceleration: By utilizing NVIDIA Isaac ROS for hardware-accelerated VSLAM and navigation, as well as NVIDIA TensorRT for deep learning inference optimization, the platform is designed to maximizes computational efficiency across both stationary manipulators and Unitree bipedal humanoid platforms.

Pragmatic Execution: Phased Roadmaps from Structured Operations to Full Humanoid Integration

To minimize the prolonged research cycles typical of unstructured automation tasks (such as autonomous wet-facility cleaning), YYForce is executing a phased commercialization roadmap that is designed to validate real-world stability across controlled enterprise hospitality environments:

Phase 1 (Months 0-2): Foundation & Intelligent Concierge - Establishing real-time navigation, guest-facing conversational workflows, and front-desk integration using Jetson edge modules and Isaac ROS.

Phase 2 (Months 2-4): Mobile Manipulation & Beverage Service - Deploying stationary and wheeled robotic arms equipped with fine-motor grasping, dynamic load balancing, and handover mechanics for banquet and food & beverage environments.

Phase 3 (Months 4-6): Banquet & Hospitality Event MVP - Orchestrating multi-robot collaborative operations-combining mobile bases, arm manipulation, and pilot-stage Unitree humanoid robots for live hotel banquet and event operations.

Long-Term Target: Autonomous IFM & Humanoid Field Operations - Transitioning mature Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, learned humanoid locomotion, and system orchestration layers into complex, unstructured physical tasks, including automated facility maintenance and industrial cleaning.

Expanding Core Engineering Strength

"Our strategic objective is to own the software intelligence layer that makes diverse commercial robots truly useful in live business environments," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. "By combining NVIDIA's industry-defining physical AI computing stack with versatile hardware like Unitree humanoid platforms, we aim to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world execution. Our existing footprint across hotels and enterprise facilities can provide a valuable real-world testbed and data-flywheel engine, turning bleeding-edge robotics into practical human workforce augmentation."

To spearhead this technical roadmap, the Company is deploying a specialized core engineering task force comprising domain leads across Autonomous Navigation, Perception & Multimodal Interaction, Motion & Manipulation Control, Embodied VLA Models, and Distributed Systems Architecture. We expect that this focused engineering structure will prioritize continuous fleet orchestration, dynamic labor allocation, and deep interoperability with YYForce's operational network.

New JAHA-Published EggNest Study and Texas State Regulatory Variance Validate Shift Toward Apron-Free Workflows in the Interventional Lab

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 08:07:00 +0700

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Egg Medical today announced the publication of a prospective study in the Journal of the American Heart Association (JAHA) evaluating its EggNest Enhanced Radiation Protection Devices (ERPDs).

Conducted at The Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, OH, the real-world clinical study demonstrates that radiation protection allows interventional lab personnel to perform procedures safely without heavy personal lead aprons.

Validating these clinical findings in practice, the Texas Department of State Health Services recently granted a state radiation variance to Methodist Healthcare System of San Antonio.

"The EggNest system protects the entire team so they can choose to go apron-free or wear ultralight aprons that feel like a light vest," said Dr. Santiago Garcia, interventional cardiologist at The Christ Hospital and principal investigator of the study. "This comprehensive data provides interventional teams with an evidence-based pathway to significantly reduce orthopedic strain while enhancing radiation safety."

Key Findings Published in JAHA

Apron-Free Reduction: The estimated annual collar dose for primary operators dropped from 86.7 mRem with standard shielding to 25.5 mRem with EggNest Complete (p < 0.001). For context, according to the CDC, a 5-6 hour flight yields radiation exposure of ~3.5 mRem.

Minimal Exposure Across All Roles: With the EggNest Complete ERPD, total effective doses for all lab roles, including primary operators, scrub assistants, and circulating nurses, were 1% of the ICRP annual maximum (5,000 mRem).

Ultralight Apron Performance: Pairing EggNest ERPDs with ultralight (0.125 mm) aprons yielded significantly lower annualized radiation doses than wearing traditional heavy (0.5 mm) aprons with standard shielding. The primary operator received an annualized EDE-1 dose of 51.4 mRem under 0.5mm lead aprons with standard shielding vs. 1.4 mRem under 0.125 lead aprons with EggNest Complete (p < 0.001).

"The radiation reduction we achieve with EggNest fundamentally changes how we approach lab safety?I feel completely comfortable working apron-free," said Dr. Tim Henry, Medical Director of The Carl and Edyth Lindner Center for Research and Education at The Christ Hospital and past president of SCAI. "It clears the way for a healthier, more sustainable future for operators and staff."

Lead-Free, Responsibly

Egg Medical emphasizes a flexible, safety-first philosophy: Lead-Free, Responsibly. Modern interventional labs are not one-size-fits-all, and EggNest technology is engineered to support apron-optional workflows where approved?never to force a single standard of practice.

Schneider Electric unveils new prefabricated reference design engineered for modular AI factories

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 08:03:00 +0700

*New Schneider Electric RapidScale Modular Data Center Reference Design offers a flexible hardware blueprint built to support the NVIDIA Vera Rubin Platform as the market transitions from traditional building methods to manufacturing AI capacity at-scale

*RapidScale, Schneider Electric's portfolio for prefabricated modular data center solutions, combines 90% of Schneider Electric solutions with end-to-end lifecycle support to accelerate deployment, improve predictability and reduce project risk

*New time study co-authored with Compass Datacenters found that prefabricated white space modules cut onsite installation time by 80%

BERLIN, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Schneider Electric, a global energy technology leader, today announced its RapidScale Modular Data Center Reference Design 115. The new reference design provides a validated, pre-engineered blueprint for high-density AI infrastructure, streamlining onsite logistics and planning while accelerating deployment times for AI factories globally.

The design brings together the NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform and innovative liquid cooling technology, built to maximize processing power while keeping energy use under control. By using advanced fluid cooling with smart temperature controls, it ensures data centers provide peak compute performance without risking overheating or wasting power.

By integrating modularity across the broader infrastructure architecture, this approach transitions operators toward repeatable, risk-tested AI infrastructure blueprints rather than relying solely on custom-engineered data centers. The blueprints combine power, liquid cooling, IT, software, and lifecycle services into a scalable, industrialized delivery model.

Addressing Market Shifts and Critical AI Infrastructure Challenges

The new modular data center reference design comes at a time of rapid growth and transformation across the data center industry, as processing needs for artificial intelligence fundamentally reshape infrastructure requirements.

What were once considered benefits of prefabricated modular infrastructure - speed, predictability, repeatability, and quality - are now essential requirements for AI-scale data center deployment. Schneider Electric estimates that global data center capacity will increase by 170 GW by 2030, reaching 300 GW in total, or 2.3 times the 2025 installed base. By the end of the decade, AI workloads are expected to account for approximately 65% of total demand. This growth is accelerating the need for quick deployment of AI infrastructure, driving simultaneous increases in investment, power demand, and capacity requirements.

Developers relying on traditional stick-built construction face increasing challenges in keeping pace with demand. Meanwhile, high-density computing environments intensify power and cooling requirements, creating complex integration challenges, and increasing pressure on grid capacity, energy efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Skilled labor shortages further complicate these challenges by creating workforce bottlenecks and extending installation timelines for complex AI deployments.

Quantifying the Advantages of Prefabricated White Space

Separately, a new research paper co-authored with hyperscale developer, Compass Datacenters, 'Prefabricated White Space Module Time Study: Lessons from a High-Density Liquid-Cooled Deployment' (White Paper 238), highlights the quantitative deployment efficiency gains of shifting from traditional white space builds to prefabricated modular IT pods. According to the study performed at a Compass hyperscale data center campus, prefabricated modular pods shorten onsite installation time from 75.5 hours to just 15 hours per pod, delivering an 80% reduction in onsite installation duration. By shifting critical assembly, integration and verification to a controlled factory environment, data center operators can reduce on-site labor and complexity while bringing AI compute capacity online faster.

"The white space brings together the greatest concentration of systems and trades in the smallest footprint, with each installation dependent on the one before it," said Adil Attlassy, Chief Technology Officer of Compass Datacenters. "Working jointly with Schneider Electric, we engineered a prefabricated module that integrates these systems into a single assembly, eliminating the need to coordinate multiple scopes of work onsite. By reducing onsite installation time by 80%, we accelerate deployment and help our customers bring their workloads online sooner."

Schneider Electric RapidScale: An Integrated Industrialized Architecture for the AI Lifecycle

RapidScale is Schneider Electric's end-to-end industrialized approach for designing, delivering, and supporting prefabricated modular AI infrastructure at scale. RapidScale utilizes deep engineering across power, cooling, IT space, software, and lifecycle services to help customers shift away from complex custom engineering and toward repeatable, risk-tested blueprints. This reference design also represents a foundational first step toward supporting the NVIDIA DSX POD reference design, which enables factory integration and validation of Vera Rubin AI infrastructure before shipment to accelerate time to first token.

In today's market, supply chain management becomes the new critical component in reducing scheduling uncertainty and project risk. Schneider Electric addresses this challenge through a globally integrated supply chain that spans from individual components to complete modular solutions. Backed by manufacturing capacity that has grown fourfold since 2025, Schneider Electric's footprint spans eight primary sites totaling 1.35 million square feet of capacity, complemented by three additional facilities and 12 partner sites across 10 countries.

Leveraging its broad portfolio, RapidScale incorporates approximately 90% in-house manufactured equipment. This ensures predictable performance, supply chain certainty, and full lifecycle support from day-one deployment through long-term optimization.

"As AI infrastructure scales at unprecedented speed, customers need solutions that are standardized, reliable, and deployable with certainty," said Manish Kumar, Executive Vice President, Secure Power & Data Centers at Schneider Electric. "Through our portfolio of reference designs and prefabricated solutions, combined with global supply chain strength and lifecycle expertise, we help AI factory operators accelerate time to value while building the resilient infrastructure required for next-generation compute."

Schneider Electric is recognized by Omdia? as the No. 1 global manufacturer of prefabricated power solutions, the No. 1 manufacturer of prefabricated modular data centers in North America, and one of the top six providers globally outside North America.

Schneider Electric will showcase its new modular reference design and prefabricated solutions portfolio, RapidScale, at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026. Visit booth 3041 to learn more.

The modular reference design has been validated to ANSI standards for U.S. deployments, with plans to extend the framework to support IEC standards for global implementations in the future.

Robot Humanoid AI YYForce akan dilatih untuk tugas Tata Graha di Hotel Novotel

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 07:51:00 +0700

Mengakuisisi 20 sistem pengumpulan data berbasis perangkat yang dapat dipakai (wearable) untuk merekam aktivitas tata graha di lingkungan kerja nyata guna mendukung pembelajaran dan pengembangan robot

SINGAPURA, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) ("YYForce" atau "Perusahaan"), penyedia solusi tenaga kerja, pengelolaan fasilitas terpadu, dan layanan robotika komersial berbasis teknologi, hari ini mengumumkan akuisisi 20 sistem pengumpulan data berbasis perangkat yang dapat dipakai (wearable) untuk mendukung program pengembangan robot humanoid perusahaan.

Sistem ini terdiri atas kamera egosentris yang dipasang di kepala dan kamera tersinkronisasi yang dipasang di pergelangan tangan. Perangkat tersebut dirancang untuk merekam aktivitas manusia dari sudut pandang orang pertama serta menghasilkan rekaman jarak dekat saat manusia menjalankan berbagai tugas. YYForce berencana menggunakan perangkat tersebut melalui inisiatif bersama tim tata graha (housekeeping) di Novotel Singapore on Stevens, dengan fokus awal pada sejumlah aktivitas operasional tertentu di bidang perhotelan.

Inisiatif ini bertujuan untuk membangun set data berdasarkan jenis tugas yang mendokumentasikan cara petugas tata graha berpengalaman menjalankan aktivitas pelayanan rutin. Setelah melalui tahap peninjauan, anotasi, dan pengolahan teknis, rekaman demonstrasi tersebut diharapkan dapat mendukung riset pembelajaran robot serta pengembangan dan evaluasi tugas, termasuk kegiatan yang melibatkan model visi-bahasa-aksi (vision-language-action/VLA).

Fokus Awal: Demonstrasi Tugas Tata Graha

Pengumpulan data yang direncanakan akan berfokus pada sejumlah tugas tertentu, termasuk:

Penyiapan tempat tidur dan linen: Tahapan merapikan tempat tidur, menangani linen, dan menyusun bantal.

Penataan handuk dan perlengkapan kamar: Melipat dan menempatkan handuk serta mengisi ulang persediaan perlengkapan kamar tamu.

Aktivitas pembersihan tertentu: Mengelap permukaan serta menangani peralatan dan bahan pembersih.

Demonstrasi ini bertujuan untuk merekam urutan pelaksanaan tugas, interaksi antara tangan dan objek, serta berbagai variasi kondisi di lingkungan operasional yang nyata. Agar robot mampu melakukan tugas yang didemonstrasikan manusia, diperlukan pemrosesan tambahan, adaptasi terhadap perangkat keras robot yang dipilih, serta pengujian dalam kondisi terkendali.

"Akses ke lingkungan operasional nyata dan tim layanan berpengalaman merupakan bagian penting dari strategi pengembangan robotika kami," ujar Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer YYForce. "Inisiatif ini akan membantu kami mendokumentasikan cara petugas melakukan tugas-tugas tata graha dalam praktiknya serta mengevaluasi cara demonstrasi tersebut dapat mendukung pembelajaran robot humanoid. Fokus kami adalah membangun set data yang bermanfaat, memvalidasi setiap tugas, serta mengembangkan penerapan praktis di bidang perhotelan dan layanan pengelolaan fasilitas."

Mendukung Strategi Tenaga Kerja dan Robotika YYForce

Inisiatif ini mendukung strategi YYForce yang lebih luas untuk menggabungkan keahlian tenaga kerja, operasional pengelolaan fasilitas, dan robotika guna mengembangkan penyediaan layanan berbasis teknologi.

Proses pengembangan yang direncanakan meliputi pemeriksaan kualitas rekaman, pemberian anotasi pada tugas-tugas tertentu, serta penyiapan set data pelatihan yang sesuai. Proses ini juga mencakup evaluasi untuk menilai apakah demonstrasi tersebut dapat meningkatkan kinerja robot dalam menjalankan tugas-tugas yang ditentukan. Evaluasi awal akan berfokus pada penyelesaian tugas, kemampuan menjalankan tugas secara berulang, serta pelaksanaan yang aman dalam kondisi terkendali.

Pengumpulan data direncanakan mengikuti prosedur operasional hotel yang telah disepakati serta ketentuan perlindungan data yang berlaku. Perusahaan berharap bahwa sebelum proses perekaman dimulai, pengaturan pengumpulan data sudah mencakup pemberitahuan kepada peserta dan persetujuan mereka jika diperlukan, perlindungan privasi tamu, pengendalian akses, serta penggunaan materi rekaman yang diizinkan.

Inisiatif ini merupakan program yang masih dalam tahap pengembangan. Akuisisi sistem tersebut dan pengumpulan rekaman demonstrasi saja belum membuktikan bahwa robot humanoid mampu beroperasi secara otonom atau siap digunakan secara komersial.

Tentang YYForce Inc.

YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) merupakan penyedia solusi tenaga kerja, layanan pengelolaan fasilitas terpadu, dan layanan robotika komersial berbasis teknologi. Perusahaan tengah mengembangkan platform tenaga kerja berteknologi AI dan memperluas kemampuan robotika komersialnya untuk mendukung pelanggan di sektor perhotelan, pengelolaan fasilitas, dan industri jasa lainnya.

Favale Claims Smeralda 888 Title as Saidelli Triumphs in Monaco

Thu, 22 Oct 2026 07:48:00 +0700

MONACO, Oct. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marco Favale, at the helm of Millenium Falcon, has won the 2026 Smeralda 888 International Championship, finishing top of the overall standings after six events in Monaco, Alassio, Saint-Tropez and Porto Cervo.

The final stage, held from 16 to 18 October and organised by Yacht Club de Monaco in partnership with North Sails, confirmed the championship results. Charles de Bourbon des Deux Siciles, Class President and YCM member, finished second aboard Vamos Mi Amor, followed by Nicolo Saidelli on Bloody Mathilde.

Saidelli dominated the Monaco stage, winning six of the eight races and securing the event victory. Timofey Sukhotin's V Force took second place with 26 points, ahead of Millenium Falcon on 28. Black Star and Vamos Mi Amor completed the top five.

Despite Bloody Mathilde's success in Monaco, the overall title went to Favale, who laid the foundations for his victory by winning the Primo Cup-UBS Trophy in March, ahead of Charles de Bourbon des Deux Siciles. The Class President responded in Alassio, winning three races to claim the Luigi Carpaneda Challenge. Favale regained the advantage later in the season, winning in Saint-Tropez and taking both the Invitational and Coppa Europa in Sardinia.

With four stage victories out of six, Millenium Falcon finished the championship with seven points. Charles de Bourbon des Deux Siciles secured second overall with 14 points, while Saidelli climbed from sixth place before the final event to third, ending the season with 24 points. In total, 17 teams representing nine nations featured in the 2026 championship.

This year marked the second edition of the trophy dedicated to Adalberto Miani, who passed away at the end of 2024. A key figure in the development of the class alongside Charles de Bourbon des Deux Siciles, Miani's legacy was honoured by the participation of his son, Guido Miani.

Yacht Club de Monaco's racing calendar continues next week with the Grimaldi Trophy, a coastal race from Sanremo to Monaco. The J/70 fleet will return from 5 to 8 November for Act I of the Monaco Sportsboat Winter Series. The monthly regattas run from November to March and will culminate in the 43rd Primo Cup-UBS Trophy, scheduled for 10?14 March 2027.
