About YYForce
YY Group operates workforce-management and integrated facility-management services through YY Circle and 24IFM. It is extending those operations into physical-AI data collection and service-robot deployment for hospitality, retail and commercial facilities.
Its 2026 programme includes training labs in Singapore and Johor, pilot humanoid deployments at a Singapore shopping mall and hotel, and Unitree G1 Edu Ultimate robots for facility-workflow data capture. Cleaning personnel also collect human-task data during operating shifts for robotics training.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-21 - Capability - YYForce outlines NVIDIA-based Workforce OS robotics architecture
The proposed stack combines Jetson and RTX compute with GR00T, Isaac Sim, Isaac ROS and TensorRT. Its roadmap progresses from concierge tasks to manipulation and beverage service, then a banquet-service minimum viable product over six months. Longer-term applications include integrated facilities management and cleaning workflows.
Source - 2026-10-20 - Partnership - YYForce acquires 20 wearable systems for housekeeping robot data
Head-mounted egocentric cameras are synchronised with wrist-mounted cameras. Planned demonstrations cover bed and linen preparation, towel and amenity organisation, and selected cleaning tasks. Recordings require review, annotation, hardware adaptation and controlled testing before robot capability can be established.
Source - 2026-10-06 - Facility Opening - YYForce opens Singapore robotics training and experience centre
Simulated hospitality environments cover housekeeping, restroom maintenance and banquet workflows, alongside a live security command centre. The facility supports robot-data collection and testing before deployment in customer environments. YYForce is evaluating Robotics-as-a-Service, leasing and managed-service models through the centre.
Source - 2026-09-08 - Partnership - YYForce and Integral Cleaning form Facadevision AI drone-services joint venture
YYForce owns 70% of the venture and Integral Cleaning owns the remaining 30%. The planned system combines enterprise drones with AI image analysis for cracks, spalling, sealant failure and water ingress. Commercial deployment is scheduled to begin in Singapore in the third quarter of 2026.
Source - 2026-06-16 - Market Signal - YY Group completes $20M at-the-market equity offering
The completed program raised $20 million gross and about $19.1 million net after commissions and estimated expenses. YY Group plans to retire higher-cost short-term business loans and invest most remaining capital in YY Circle, regional IFM services, AI software, physical-AI training data factories and robotics initiatives. The event is a financing milestone; the robotics relevance is the stated use of proceeds and YY Group’s separate Unitree G1 facility-workflow data program.
Source - 2026-06-13 - Deployment - YY Group deploys humanoids for cleaning and training-data collection
Initial deployments place Unitree G1 Edu humanoids in malls and hotels for repetitive sanitation and maintenance work. Human cleaners will record workflows through YY Circle and 24IFM, building training data for later robot autonomy.

YY Group uses Unitree G1 Edu Ultimate B-U4 robots as its facility-management hardware base. The programme collects operating data for later automation development.
Source - 2026-06-03 - Deployment - YY Group launches Singapore humanoid lab and service-robot pilots
The lab uses NVIDIA accelerated computing to support humanoid robotics training data workflows. The pilots place humanoid robots in commercial retail and hospitality settings alongside human staff. The deployment places YY Group's technology into robot manipulation, haptics or human-assistive robotics workflows beyond a lab-only setting.
