FLAIR opens Hong Kong's first Embodied AI hub
Where it stands: Hong Kong has opened its first hub for embodied AI, set up by FLAIR together with HKPC to train, validate and test robots and move them toward commercial deployment. Unitree, Galbot and Robotera are the named corporate partners, brought in to test humanoids at the site. What to watch next: the first validation deployments and any further partners or tenants beyond those three.
