KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- iFLYTEK has launched GuideX, an intelligent interaction agent for public service environments, at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2026.
Unlike conventional digital humans that only answer questions, GuideX is built to complete tasks based on three capabilities, namely omnimodal, self-regulation and empathy-driven, according to iFLYTEK in a statement.
The first capability, omnimodal perception, lets GuideX work in crowded venues by fusing voice, face, position, lip movement and spatial context to identify who is speaking, from where and why. It supports more than 30 languages, with 97.35 per cent English recognition accuracy.
In addition, it delivers 95.12 per cent end-to-end accuracy, alongside more than 200 avatars and over 100 ultra-realistic voices. The full chain, from wake-up to response, takes 0.42 seconds even under heavy load.
Meanwhile, the self-regulation capability turns conversations into completed tasks. Once a task is identified, a dual-track mechanism determines how to handle it, with routine cases following fixed policies while complex cases move to adaptive reasoning. Both draw on SkillHub, iFLYTEK's skills platform, which now carries more than 10,000 skills and can be extended without coding.
The empathy-driven capability enables more human-like interactions by reading emotional context and responding accordingly. With users' consent, GuideX combines facial recognition with scene memory to retain service context and preferences, allowing returning users to resume where they left off.
Deployed across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America and Africa, GuideX runs on smart terminals, all-in-one machines, transparent displays, web and mobile apps.
iFLYTEK said it also launched the GuideX Navigator Program with eight ecosystem partners spanning government services, transportation, hospitality, tourism and smart commerce.

Booster Robotics' Humanoid Robots Claim All Championship Titles at RoboCup 2026
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 9 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At RoboCup 2026, the world's premier robotics competition, teams competing on Booster Robotics' humanoid robots swept all championship titles across the Small, Middle and Large divisions. This year, a total of 59 teams from around the world participated in RoboCup 2026, 38 of which competed on Booster robots, including but not limited to Badger Bots (USA), Bahia Robotics Team (Brazil), Berlin United (Germany), B-Human (Germany), HTWK Robots (Germany), HULKs (Germany), Inha-United (South Korea), KURA (UAE), NUbots (Australia), Pumas (Mexico), RedbackBots (Australia), RFC-Tsudanuma (Japan), Rhoban (France), RoboEireann (Ireland), Robo-Erectus (Singapore), Ruhrbot Devils (Germany), rUNSWift (Australia), SPQR Team (Italy), Tech United (Netherlands), UT AustinVilla (USA), whIRLwind Amsterdam (Netherlands), and others.
- Large Division: Champion, Tsinghua Hephaestus; Runner-up, CAU Mountain&Sea; Third place, BISTU Water. All competed on Booster T1.
- Middle Division: Champion, B-Human; Runner-up, HTWK Robots; Third place, Rhoban. All competed on Booster K1.
- Small Division: Champion, Invic; Runner-up, Hamburg Bit-Bots; Third place, GeoHBots. Invic and GeoHBots competed on Booster K1 Air.
The Champion Behind Champions
This widespread adoption signals a fundamental shift in what robotics competitions measure, from "who can build the robot" to "who can make the robot smarter." In past years, teams spent much of their R&D resources building the robot itself from scratch, with significant effort going into mechanical design, hardware development, and basic locomotion control. This year marked a clear inflection point: leading teams focused almost entirely on pushing the boundaries of perception, real-time decision-making, and multi-agent coordination, while Booster Robotics served as the underlying platform, continuing to advance the robots' core leg and foot locomotion capabilities, improving reliability in high-speed running, sudden stops and turns, fall recovery, and sustained motion. This separation of hardware and software lets complex code perform reliably in the real world.
Booster Robotics Builds a Global Embodied Intelligence Ecosystem
Booster Robotics recently launched Booster Studio, the world's first integrated development environment (IDE) built for embodied intelligence, giving engineers, researchers, and developers worldwide a unified platform to program, simulate, and deploy humanoid robot behaviors more efficiently. At the same time, the company officially launched the Booster Champion 3v3 Soccer Tournament (champion.booster.tech/?lang=en), inviting developers and embodied intelligence enthusiasts around the world to compete, collaborate, and help build the future of embodied intelligence together. The competition will expand into more real-world scenarios going forward.
One of the youngest teams at RoboCup 2026 was from Pui Ching Middle School (Macau). Using Booster Studio, these young developers were able to develop, train, and validate their algorithms in a highly realistic digital environment before seamlessly deploying them onto real robots. From top research universities and leading labs to everyday developers and student teams, an open, shared ecosystem for embodied intelligence development is taking shape.

EBC Financial Group and the University of Oxford's Department of Economics Renew Partnership on Public Economic Education
Three-year collaboration to broaden access to economic research through the What Economists Really Do webinar series
LONDON, June 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EBC Financial Group (EBC) has renewed its strategic partnership with the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford for a further three years, extending a collaboration that helps bring economic research to wider public audiences around the world.
As part of the renewed partnership, EBC will sponsor one annual edition of the Department's What Economists Really Do webinar series, helping to share economic research and insights with students, researchers, alumni and wider public audiences. To help extend the reach of the webinar, selected insights and discussion points will also be adapted into short social media videos, offering accessible summaries of key ideas for wider online audiences.
Since the partnership began, EBC-sponsored editions of What Economists Really Do have explored a range of pressing global issues, including tax evasion, climate change, and financial literacy. Each webinar typically attracts around 200 live attendees. Together, the recorded sessions have generated more than 3,600 views and generated over 270 hours of watch time, demonstrating sustained audience engagement beyond the live events themselves.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to widening access to economic knowledge and supporting informed public engagement with economic issues, while fostering informed discussion on topics ranging from macroeconomic policy and financial markets to regulation and global economic development.
It also supports the Department's wider commitment to public engagement by helping make academic research accessible beyond the university community.
This initiative forms part of EBC’s broader commitment to corporate social responsibility, focused on removing barriers to education and fostering long-term societal impact. By connecting academic excellence with real-world application, EBC continues to support wider access to economic education and public engagement.
“In today’s rapidly evolving global economy, access to reliable financial knowledge is more important than ever. Our continued partnership with the Department of Economics at the University of Oxford reflects EBC’s commitment to empowering individuals with the insights and tools needed to make informed decisions, while supporting the development of future talent that will shape the financial systems of tomorrow,” said Christopher Stiegeler, Executive Director, EBC Financial Group (Cayman) Limited.
Stiegeler added, “Beyond our partnership with the Department of Economics at Oxford, EBC continues to champion financial education among the next generation through on-campus initiatives, academic collaborations, and memorandums of understanding with institutions worldwide. These collaborations include the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), the International University of Ulaanbaatar (IUU), Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Tecnológico de Monterrey), Escuela Bancaria y Comercial in Mexico, and the Autonomous University of Bucaramanga (UNAB). Our teams are also actively exploring similar partnerships with additional institutions of higher learning globally.”

Through initiatives such as What Economists Really Do, we seek to show how economics can contribute to better policy and a deeper understanding of the issues shaping our world. We are pleased to continue our partnership with EBC Financial Group, whose support helps us broaden access to economic knowledge and extend the reach of our educational activities to new audiences around the world.”
Over the next three years, the partnership will continue to connect academic research with wider public audiences, helping ensure that economic insights remain accessible, relevant and impactful in an increasingly complex global environment.

MAVENIR LAUNCHES UNIFIED DIGITAL APP FOR ENET
KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Mavenir, the cloud-native network software provider, has launched a unified digital platform for Guyanese telecommunications operator ENet, bringing mobile, broadband, fixed-line and IPTV services into a single application (app).
The My ENet App enables consumer and enterprise customers to manage voice, SMS, data, broadband, fixed-line and IPTV services through one digital platform, replacing multiple apps previously used across different business support systems.
According to Mavenir in a statement, the app integrates customer onboarding, self-service functions, payments, loyalty programmes and eSIM provisioning, providing users with a single digital touchpoint for managing their services.
Mavenir Senior Vice President and General Manager of Business Solutions, Sandeep Singh said the app demonstrates how telecommunications operators can use digital platforms to expand beyond traditional connectivity services and develop new monetisation opportunities.
Meanwhile, ENet Chief Executive Officer, Vishok Persaud said the platform delivers a more streamlined customer experience while creating opportunities for future digital services and innovation.
A key feature of the app is a centralised digital wallet that allows customers to manage payments across all ENet services through a single account. The capability could support future third-party payment services and new digital revenue opportunities.
The platform was built on Mavenir’s Digital Enablement platform and delivered through the company's Agile Delivery Squad model, which provides dedicated development resources for ongoing enhancements and system integration. The app is available on both iOS and Android devices.
The launch builds on a long-standing partnership between the two companies. In 2023, ENet launched new 4G and 5G services in Guyana powered by Mavenir's cloud-native IMS and Digital BSS, laying the foundation for the latest digital transformation initiative.
