XRX DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS, Encourages Xerox Holdings Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important January 21 Deadline in Securities Class Action – XRX

NEW YORK, Jan. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Xerox Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: XRX) between January 25, 2024 and October 28, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 21, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Xerox securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Xerox class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 21, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) after a large workforce reduction, Xerox’s salesforce was reorganized with new territory assignments and account coverage; (2) as a result, Xerox’s salesforce productivity was disrupted; (3) as a result, Xerox had a lower rate of sell-through of older products; (4) the difficulties in flushing out older product would delay the launch of key products; (5) as a result, Xerox was likely to experience lower sales and revenue; and (6) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Xerox’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Xerox class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Wisson Robotics’ Versatile Applications of General-Purpose Soft Robotics Shine at CES 2025

Wisson 2025 CES

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wisson Robotics’ booth at CES 2025 became a focal point with live demos of cutting-edge soft robotics and applications built on Pliabot® technology. Featuring Pliabot® muscles, joints, and arms, these demos and robots showcased core technical capabilities and unique advantages, drawing significant attention from attendees.

These innovations leverage the company’s proprietary Pliabot® technology, which “Emulate Human Muscles, Transcend Human Capabilities“. With soft bionic muscles and neuronic intelligence, this technology replicates human muscle characteristics to offer five core advantages, addressing two major challenges to large-scale robotic adoption: adaptability and cost.

  • High Load-to-Weight Ratio: Achieves a 2000:1 load-to-weight ratio, outperforming rigid-joint systems and other conventional solutions.
  • High Environmental Resistance: Features durable materials and pressurized sealed chambers that are waterproof, dustproof, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding extreme weather and electromagnetic radiation.
  • Superior Task Adaptability: Flexible structures enable precise posture control and adaptive adjustments during contact, maintaining operational stability.
  • Enhanced Interaction Safety: Pliabot muscles and joints allow passive deformation, paired with soft materials for impact absorption, ensuring safe interaction.
  • Cost Advantage: Employs polymer-based soft materials and 3D printing techniques, eliminating the need for expensive sensors and reducing production investment significantly.

Wisson Robotics has developed a range of Pliabot-powered products tailored for diverse applications especially for aerial precision operations and automatic EV charging. The Orion AP3-P3 Pliabot® Aerial Tethered Cleaning System, for example, uses a Pliabot gimbal to achieve adaptive balancing and soft collision buffering, ensuring unparalleled operational safety. It is ideal for high-altitude cleaning scenarios.

The Orion AP30-N1 Pliabot® Aerial Manipulator enhances traditional drone capabilities with its lightweight, Pliabot robotic arm, enabling precise aerial tasks like grasping, placing, and sampling. This innovation significantly reduces the risk and difficulty of complex tasks in challenging environments.

Additionally, the Pliabot® Automatic Charging Robot offers revolutionary cost and performance advantages, making it ideal for large-scale commercial deployment. It provides a powerful boost to the smart driving experience and the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry.

These groundbreaking innovations highlight Wisson Robotics’ vision of empowering industries and everyday life through cutting-edge soft robotics, offering safer, smarter, and more efficient solutions.
