HONG KONG, Aug 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A major breakthrough in surgical embodied intelligence in Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) has been achieved in Hong Kong, China. At a press conference held on 5 August, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) officially announced that its multidisciplinary research team, in collaboration with Cornerstone Robotics, a leading global innovator and unicorn enterprise in surgical robotics, has successfully developed the world’s first embodied intelligence platform for multitask surgical automation. The team also completed the world’s first clinical validation of autonomous surgery using this platform on Cornerstone Robotics’ self-developed Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical System.The research paper, titled “Surgical Embodied Intelligence for Generalized Task Autonomy in Laparoscopic Robot-assisted Surgery”, has been published in Science Robotics, a prestigious research journal in the field of robotics and a flagship publication under the Science family. With a current impact factor of 27.5 and a five-year impact factor of 32.9, Science Robotics is one of the most influential journals in the global robotics field. This marks the first successful in vivo animal testing using a Chinese-developed laparoscopic surgical robot equipped with AI-powered embodied intelligence, validating its multitask autonomy and human-robot collaboration capabilities. It demonstrates the generalisability of the algorithms and the system’s clinical feasibility, paving the way for a future of smarter, more collaborative, and more accessible robotic surgery.A Breakthrough Framework: VPPV Embodied IntelligenceThe research introduced a novel paradigm for surgical task automation, encompassing visual parsing, a perceptual regressor, policy learning, and a visual servoing controller (VPPV). This framework combines robust visual foundation models, the generalisation capability of reinforcement learning, and integration of data-driven policy and classic controller to achieve breakthroughs in autonomous performance of robot-assisted surgery, particularly regarding stability, flexibility, and repeatability. Unlike traditional methods in autonomous surgery that rely on additional sensors or pre-defined models and rules, this research is the world’s first purely vision-based surgical embodied intelligence framework, featuring full perception, multitask applicability, precise closed-loop servo control, and human-robot cooperation functions. It significantly lowers the barrier for R&D and clinical adoption, setting a new benchmark for next-generation intelligent surgical assistants.The research team trained multiple AI frameworks with generalized task autonomy using their independently developed open-source surgical embodied intelligence simulator, SurRoL, and successfully achieved zero-shot sim-to-real transfer. SurRoL integrates multimodal sensing, built-in physics engine modelling, and multi-task operation training, encompassing the robot-assisted surgery control interface, simulation environment, and reinforcement learning engine.Ex and In Vivo Validation on the Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical SystemTo simulate real surgical settings, the research team conducted rigorous experiments using ex vivo porcine stomach tissue (preserving the left and right gastroepiploic arteries) and an in vivo ~30kg pig. Both tests were completed using the Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical System, fully developed by Cornerstone Robotics. During the in vivo validation phase, an innovative supervised autonomy safety mode was adopted. Without any external sensors and relying solely on the Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical System’s high-definition stereoscopic endoscope system, the robot autonomously executed several surgical assistive tasks, such as gauze picking, soft tissue retraction, and blood vessel clipping. The system demonstrated robust adaptability to environmental changes, reliable control stability, and clinical translation potential, offering tangible support for the surgical embodied intelligence mode driven by human-robot collaboration.A Vertically Integrated, AI-Ready Robotic PlatformDr. Jerry Wang, Co-Founder, Chief Technology Officer, and Chief Operating Officer of Cornerstone Robotics, and the corresponding author of the study, stated, "The Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical System, as a core platform in this research, is built on a fully self-developed infrastructure-including mechanical, electrical, software architecture, robotic algorithms, imaging systems, and advanced energy control. This commercial-grade integrated robotic system provides the technical robustness and precision needed for stable deployment of AI autonomy in dynamic surgical environments."He added, "At Cornerstone Robotics, we remain committed to the R&D strategy of full-stack independent research and vertical integration. Our proprietary technology, independently developed software, hardware and system integration, benefits our core platforms with exceptional scalability, with built-in AI-readiness and AI-friendly architecture. This not only enables rapid adaptation and deployment of AI algorithms but also allows the system to flexibly address diverse surgical tasks and scenarios, laying a solid foundation for the evolution of intelligent surgery."From Lab to Operating Room: A Leap Toward Clinical TranslationAs a key technology partner in the research, the Cornerstone Robotics team worked closely with CUHK researchers to complete the successful deployment of algorithms and their in vivo validation on the Sentire® Endoscopic Surgical System. This achievement not only validates the open-source infrastructure and high compatibility of Cornerstone Robotics’ platform but also marks a significant advance in accelerating AI-powered surgical assistance from the lab to the forefront of clinical translation.Professor Samuel Au, Founder and CEO of Cornerstone Robotics, commented, "We firmly believe that deep integration between research and industry is the driving force behind breakthroughs in advanced medical technologies. This collaboration not only validates the real-world application of embodied AI on a commercial robotic surgical platform but also showcases their vast potential in surgical automation. We will continue to work with international researchers and clinical partners to explore new eras in task automation, human-robot collaboration, and intelligent system monitoring mechanisms, to accelerate the path toward real clinical application of smart surgical robots."About Cornerstone Robotics Limited (CSR)Cornerstone Robotics (CSR) is a unicorn enterprise, leading medical innovations to create a healthier world.

The "Open the Way with AITO" road tour will pass through several ASEAN countries on its way to Jakarta, covering a route of 5,000 kilometers. Vehicles on the tour are the AITO M5, AITO M7, and AITO M9.Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry China Committee (KIKT) Chairman Garibaldi 'Boy' Thohir, SERES Automobile President Leon He, and Indonesian Ambassador to China and Mongolia Djauhari Oratmangun at Chongqing-Jakarta AITO Road Tour launch in Chongqing, China on Aug 4."The KIKT (Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Bilateral Committee for China) is here in Chongqing to launch this major event where AITO vehicles will travel a route from Chongqing, China to Indonesia, with a big welcoming event planned on August 25 in Jakarta," said KIKT Chairman Garibaldi "Boy" Thohir to ANTARA after the launch event in Chongqing on Monday.The road tour, titled "Open the Way with AITO," will pass through several ASEAN countries on its way to Jakarta, covering a route of about 5,000 kilometers. The AITO vehicles in the road tour are the AITO M5, AITO M7, and AITO M9."The Chinese government, especially President Xi Jinping, has promoted 'One Belt One Road,' and this is one example of the Silk Road from Chongqing to Indonesia. With this event, we also hope to attract the attention of young people," Boy added.Young people will be represented in the event by celebrities such as Boy William and Gading Marten, as well as Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya (KGPAA) Mangkunegara X Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo, commonly known as Gusti Bhre."Because many young people like fun, informal things, I am involving Boy William and Gading Marten to be icons so that young Indonesians can see how far Chinese technology has progressed, and especially the good relationship between the two countries," Boy explained.The Indonesian Ambassador to China and Mongolia, Djauhari Oratmangun, stated that this event was not only related to Indonesia and China but to several ASEAN countries. "This shows that the NEV (new energy vehicle) industry will enter Indonesia and produce in Indonesia for the ASEAN market, and therefore the Indonesian Embassy in Beijing fully supports it," said Ambassador Djauhari. Ambassador Djauhari sees renewable energy vehicles (New Energy Vehicles) as part of the green economy. "We have the materials, especially for producing batteries as the main component of the electric vehicle industry. Therefore, we welcome the presence of the electric vehicle industry in Indonesia, and China has become one of the world's main producers of electric vehicles," Ambassador Djauhari added.In his remarks, Ambassador Djauhari said that young people, innovators, and even tourists are beginning to play a role in Indonesia-China relations. "Events like this spark a curiosity, a spirit of adventure and mutual understanding. As this tour starts from Chongqing, the hope is that it can also bring about a more integrated ASEAN-China region, a more strategic, sustainable, and comprehensive Indonesia-China partnership, and a stronger, more environmentally friendly future," Ambassador Djauhari explained.SERES Automotive President Leon He said that AITO had previously undertaken a similar overland expedition in Europe. "Last year's expedition covered 15,000 km in 38 days to Paris, which proved the toughness of our vehicles. This year, the journey will continue to Indonesia, a strategic market with an economic potential of 150 billion US dollars and a strong commitment to new energy vehicles," said Leon He.Leon He noted that the presence of the SERES factory in Sokonindo, Indonesia since 2017 has been an important stepping stone for expansion in the ASEAN region. The AITO brand itself has not yet entered Indonesia, but SERES Automobile has been present through PT Sokonindo Automobile, which oversees the DFSK brand.The Sokonindo factory has stood since 2017 in the Modern Cikande Industrial Estate, Serang, Banten, covering 20 hectares, with a total investment of USD 150 million and a maximum production capacity of 50,000 units per year for both domestic and international markets. Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry: https://kadin.id/en/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK) today announced that the supplemental application for the production expansion of NEFECON® has been officially approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). This approval for production expansion will further boost capacity and increase product supply, enabling a more efficient response to the growing clinical demand in China and across Asia.NEFECON® is the first and only etiological treatment for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) to receive full approval in China, the United States, and Europe, serving as a foundational first-line therapy for patients with IgAN. Since its initial approval in China in November 2023, NEFECON® was subsequently included in the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) in November 2024, and received full approval from the NMPA in May 2025, irrespective of proteinuria levels, benefiting most individuals living with IgAN.NEFECON® specifically modulates the mucosal immune system in the gut to reduce the formation of pathogenic galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) that trigger IgAN. Results from the Phase 3 clinical study NefIgArd demonstrated that NEFECON® reduces the decline in kidney function by 50%. Results from Phase 3 clinical study NefIgArd of the Chinese population shows that NEFECON® reduces kidney function decline by 66%, and delays disease progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years.“The expansion of our NEFECON® production capacity will help better meet the growing clinical treatment needs of IgAN patients in China.” Said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “China has one of the highest rates of primary glomerular disease in the world, with more than 5 million patients estimated to be living with IgAN and over 100,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Chinese IgAN patients generally experience faster disease progression and poorer prognosis, highlighting a significant unmet medical need.As the only etiological treatment for IgAN currently recommended by both international and Chinese guidelines, the expansion of NEFECON® production will further accelerate the uptake of etiological treatment, enabling more patients to access standardized treatment earlier to delay disease progression and protect kidney function. We will continue to enhance the accessibility and affordability of NEFECON®, supporting its advancement from ‘changing the treatment landscape’ to ‘redefining the standard of care’.”NEFECON®, as the only in-disease IgAN treatment has been included in the KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Immunoglobulin A Nephropathy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (public review draft), making it the only targeted therapy endorsed by both international and Chinese guidelines. NEFECON® has been approved across all Everest Medicines’ territories, including mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR, Taiwan region, China, as well as Singapore and South Korea, and continues to expand its therapeutic impact across Asia.As production capacity continues to grow and supply capabilities improve, NEFECON® is well positioned to benefit a broader patient population by accelerating the uptake of etiological treatment, enabling more patients to access standardized care earlier to delay disease progression and preserve kidney function.

HONG KONG, Aug 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 4, the China Robotics Industry ETF (159551) rose by 2.44%, as investor enthusiasm for the sector continues to surge. Humanoid robotics is transitioning from a phase of “technical breakthroughs” to one of “scenario implementation,” marking the start of a new acceleration cycle. With a series of industry catalysts unfolding, the robotics segment in the Hong Kong market is entering a structural upswing.Among the emerging opportunities, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) stands out as a rare asset platform company with full-chain industrial deployment and real scenario execution capability.1. From Showroom to Deployment: Humanoid Robots Hit the Ground RunningAt the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in late July, over 150 humanoid robots were demonstrated performing real-time dynamic tasks across industrial, service, and medical settings — a first in China. Unlike previous static displays, this year’s event showcased robots in real application scenarios such as cleaning, concierge services, and logistics handling, demonstrating the rapid convergence of hardware, algorithms, and computing power.At the same time, major news continues to drive investor sentiment:Unitree Robotics has entered IPO counseling, and the World Robot Conference 2025 is set to launch with over 100 new product debuts.In this context, Shoucheng Holdings stands out as a rare Hong Kong-listed company with both industrial integration capabilities and operational execution power, filling a critical gap in the market.2. From Conference to Application: Shoucheng’s Robot Ecosystem Comes AliveWhile many firms are still stuck in the “capital narrative” stage, Shoucheng Holdings is entering a phase of real industrial depth, evolving from investor to industrial connector and platform enabler.At the upcoming World Robot Conference 2025, Shoucheng is organizing an official sub-forum titled “Robotics Investment and Innovation Forum”, bringing together top-tier founders and venture capitalists to discuss commercialization strategies for humanoid robotics in the so-called “mass production year.” The forum serves as a bridge linking capital, technology, and market demand.In parallel, at the World Humanoid Robot Games, Shoucheng’s subsidiary Beijing Robotics Leasing Co. has provided 78 robots from its portfolio companies — including Booster Robotics, Galaxea-AI, Noetix Robotics, and Galbot — to support training in core competition categories such as football, athletics, and scene-based tasks. Several invested companies are also participating directly, enabling a full cycle of product testing, feedback, and application validation.Shoucheng’s ability to integrate investment, leasing, agency services, and operations has led to the creation of a scalable and repeatable robotics application infrastructure, positioning it as one of the few platform companies in the Hong Kong market with true industrial depth.3. A Rare Valuation Opportunity in Hong Kong’s Robotics MarketWhile many companies in China’s robotics ecosystem are either unlisted or trading at high valuations, Shoucheng Holdings currently trades at just around HK$1.90 and has completed multiple rounds of share buybacks. This signals strong management confidence in the company’s long-term value.In a market that favors “high growth + application-driven” assets, Shoucheng — with its triple focus on robotics, REITs, and medical technology — is emerging as one of the most compelling industrial platforms for investors riding the next robotics wave.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Aug 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TruMerit, a worldwide leader in international credentials evaluation to support health worker careers, today introduced the Certified Global Nurse (CGN), the world's first truly global credential for first-level, general nurses (RNs).TruMerit | Global careers. Care anywhere.The new, merit-based credential is available to any qualified nurse - from any country - to recognize their competencies, regardless of where they choose to live and work. It is awarded upon passage of TruMerit's Nurse Qualifying Exam (NQE), which applicants may take after verification of their nursing education and licensure.Previously known as the CGFNS Qualifying Exam and used by nurses migrating to the United States, the NQE was reinvented with a global focus to support the ongoing evolution of nursing practice worldwide and particularly the emergence of key challenges such as digital health, mental health, and climate change. This was achieved through a collaborative process involving more than 70 nursing experts from 50 countries, with all World Health Organization regions and World Bank country income levels represented. The experts agreed upon a core set of nursing practice standards after analyzing nursing competency frameworks from 37 countries.In addition to its role as a key requirement for the CGN credential, the upgraded exam continues to support other TruMerit programs - such as the VisaScreen® Visa Credentials Assessment Service and the Certification Program® - as a shared global framework for validating the applied knowledge and practice competence of nurses worldwide."The Certified Global Nurse credential offers nurses everywhere a common framework for meeting globally agreed-upon essential nursing practice standards," said Dr. Peter Preziosi, TruMerit's President and CEO. "When nurses carry the credential, their employers and colleagues will know that their applied nursing knowledge and skills are validated against a global benchmark, attesting to their qualifications for delivering quality healthcare."The credential is ultimately intended to provide nurses with greater mobility within the profession, within their native countries, and across geopolitical boundaries throughout their careers."By signifying work-readiness on an international scale, and thereby helping expand the pool of readily identifiable qualified nurses worldwide, global credentialing will become part of the solution to the challenges health systems are facing around the world," said Preziosi."We hope this credential can contribute to a sustained, collaborative effort involving many stakeholders-health ministries, international agencies, health systems, nursing schools, and nursing associations worldwide-to harmonize nursing education and practice and support the future growth of the global nursing workforce," he said.The Nurse Qualifying Exam is a proctored examination that will be offered four times a year at more than 1,000 Kryterion testing centers located around the world, with the first test window scheduled for November 10-14, 2025. Nurses who wish to earn a CGN credential and sit for the NQE in November must apply by September 30 at the TruMerit website, where they will find more information on the credential and how to prepare for the exam.The testing schedule for 2026 will be announced later this year.About TruMeritTruMerit is a worldwide leader in healthcare workforce development.
