Airport Deploys Humanoid Robot For Passenger Assistance
On April 1, 2026, San José Mineta International Airport launched a four-month pilot deploying José, a humanoid robot built by Silicon Valley startup IntBot, to greet passengers, answer questions and provide directions in Terminal B. José runs IntBot's IntEngine multimodal system, speaks more than 50 languages and operates on a two-hour battery; airport officials will monitor usage, reliability and passenger response.
Scoring Rationale
Published today (April 1, 2026) and describing a live four-month pilot, the story scores well for relevance and credibility with direct quotes from IntBot and city officials. Novelty is moderate (first airport deployment for IntBot) and scope is vertical (airports/transport), while limited technical depth slightly reduces the score.
