## Why it matters

For the first time, an Active Mobility Act zonal exemption allows four operators—Certis, DHL, Grab, and QuikBot—to conduct co-located testing, establishing a replicable precedent for Singapore's embodied AI regulation

## Summary

At ATxSummit 2026, IMDA announced a precinct-scale, multi-operator, mixed-use public-environment embodied-AI testbed at Punggol Digital District — launching later in 2026. First participants: Certis, DHL, Grab, QuikBot; paired with the Centre for Intelligent Robotics (IMDA + NRP).
