YYForce brings robots to two Accor hotels in Singapore

Service robots will cover a 772-room precinct while housekeeping workflows train YYForce's future humanoids.

YYForce Inc., the Nasdaq-listed workforce solutions company, has teamed up with two Accor hotels in Singapore to turn a 772-room precinct into a live test bed for hospitality robotics. The partnership announced on October 13 covers Novotel Singapore on Stevens and Mercure Singapore on Stevens, with specialized service robots handling guest deliveries, food and beverage logistics, scheduled cleaning and concierge support.

The first phase is an operational rollout rather than a demo: preparations include lift integration, route mapping and network requirements, though deployment has not yet begun. The second phase shifts toward research — selected housekeeping and banquet workflows will be observed under agreed data-use arrangements to train and refine YYForce's humanoid system and future iterations.

A pre-deployment comparison projects roughly 10 percent lower monthly operating costs across the selected housekeeping, concierge and food-and-beverage operations, including the robots' costs in the model, plus a separate planning assumption of about 5 percent less overtime in the rooms department. YYForce says actual costs, productivity and guest-service outcomes will be measured after rollout.

Piotr Kupiec, general manager of the two hotels, said the goal is to free staff from repetitive delivery and transport tasks so they can focus on guest-facing service. YYForce chief executive Mike Fu framed the deal as a bridge between technology that can be deployed today and the operational learning needed for a future in which people, AI, service robots and humanoids work side by side.

The partnership feeds YYForce's stated 2030 Vision of an integrated workforce ecosystem spanning humans, AI, autonomous service robots and humanoids — positioning a working hotel, with its mix of housekeeping, logistics and guest services, as the training ground for service robots beyond controlled demonstrations.
