YY Circle Malaysia-branded robot brings the Company’s human-and-robot workforce approach into a hotel operating environment
SINGAPORE, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YYFORCE Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) (“YYFORCE” or the “Company”), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions and integrated facility management services, today announced the deployment of a YY Circle Malaysia-branded hospitality service robot at Aloft by Marriott Langkawi Pantai Tengah in Langkawi, Malaysia.
The deployment represents a practical application of YYForce’s strategy to bring service robotics into hospitality environments, supporting hotel teams with technology designed to assist with routine operational tasks.
The hotel recently featured the robot on its social media account, introducing it as a new addition to its team and providing a visible example of service robotics being introduced into a guest-facing hospitality setting. A video of the robot’s introduction is available on Aloft Langkawi Pantai Tengah’s official LinkedIn page.
Supporting Hotel Teams Through Service Robotics
YYForce’s approach combines human service capabilities with robotic assistance. By introducing robots into suitable workflows, the Company aims to help hospitality operators allocate employees’ time more effectively while maintaining personal interaction with guests.
The Langkawi deployment provides an opportunity to assess how service robotics can fit into daily hotel operations. Relevant evaluation areas include task completion, reliability, staff adoption and guest feedback. These observations can help inform future deployment decisions and service improvements.
“Hospitality is built around people, and we see robotics as a practical way to support the teams who deliver that experience,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “Our focus is on bringing robots into real operating environments, understanding where they can add value, and developing solutions that work alongside employees. This deployment in Langkawi is a tangible step in that direction.”
Advancing YYForce’s Human-and-Robot Workforce Strategy
YYForce is pursuing opportunities to integrate workforce services and robotics across hospitality and facility operations. Its approach focuses on identifying suitable tasks, introducing appropriate technology and evaluating operational results before expanding deployment.
