_Acquires 20 wearable data collection systems to capture real-world housekeeping
tasks to support robot learning and development._

SINGAPORE, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YYForce Inc. (NASDAQ: YFOR) ("YYForce" or
the "Company"), a technology-enabled provider of workforce solutions, integrated
facility management and commercial robotics services, today announced the acquisition
of 20 wearable data collection systems to support its humanoid robotics development
program.

The systems, comprising head-mounted egocentric cameras and synchronized wrist-mounted
cameras, are intended to capture first-person views and close-up recordings of human
task execution. YYForce plans to deploy the equipment through an initiative with
the housekeeping team at Novotel Singapore on Stevens, focusing initially on selected
hospitality workflows.

The initiative is designed to build a task-specific dataset documenting how experienced
housekeeping personnel perform routine service activities. Following review, annotation
and technical processing, the demonstrations are intended to support robot learning
research, task development and evaluation, including work involving vision-language-
action (VLA) models.

**Initial Focus: Housekeeping Demonstrations**

Planned data collection will focus on selected tasks, including:

 ◦ **Bed and linen preparation: **Bed-making sequences, linen handling and pillow
   arrangement.
 ◦ **Towel and amenity organization: **Towel folding, placement and replenishment
   of guest-room supplies.
 ◦ **Selected cleaning activities: **Surface wiping and handling of cleaning tools
   and materials.

These demonstrations are intended to capture task sequences, hand-object interactions
and variations in real operating environments. Translating human demonstrations 
into robot capabilities will require additional processing, adaptation to the selected
robotic hardware, and controlled testing.

"Access to real operating environments and experienced service teams is an important
part of our robotics development strategy," said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer
of YYForce. "This initiative will help us document how housekeeping tasks are performed
in practice and assess how those demonstrations can support humanoid robot learning.
Our focus is on building useful datasets, validating individual tasks and progressing
toward practical applications in hospitality and facility services."

**Supporting YYForce’s Workforce and Robotics Strategy**

The initiative supports YYForce’s broader strategy of combining workforce expertise,
facility management operations and robotics to develop technology-enabled service
delivery.

The planned development process includes reviewing recordings for quality, annotating
selected tasks, preparing suitable training datasets and evaluating whether the 
demonstrations improve performance on defined robotic tasks. Initial evaluation 
will focus on task completion, repeatability and safe execution under controlled
conditions.

Data collection is planned to follow agreed hotel operating procedures and applicable
data protection requirements. The Company expects that collection arrangements will
address participant notification and consent where required, guest privacy, access
controls and permitted uses of recorded material before recording begins.

The initiative is a development-stage program. The acquisition of the systems and
collection of demonstrations do not, by themselves, establish autonomous humanoid
capabilities or readiness for commercial deployment.
