Footage
IntBot's introduction of its interactive humanoid concierge (branded Nylo; the José deployment at San Jose airport was an earlier IntBot humanoid). IntBot markets it as a fully autonomous 'Physical Agent' with social intelligence; this is the maker's claim, with no teleoperation disclosed and autonomy not independently verified.
Operator: San José Mineta International Airport (SJC), owned and operated by the City of San José. IntBot's 'José' humanoid concierge robot was deployed for a four-month pilot at SJC, debuting March 24, 2026 and operating from approximately April 1, 2026. José is stationed at Terminal B, Gate 24 (near the Zoom Zone), greeting travelers, answering questions, and providing real-time information in 50+ languages, running IntBot's IntEngine multimodal system on a ~2-hour battery. SJC officials are monitoring usage, reliability, and passenger response over the pilot. IntBot's first publicly documented operating deployment and an example of the emerging airport/public-space service-humanoid category. Status: active (four-month pilot; revisit status after the pilot window concludes ~Aug 2026).
