36Kr Publishes Exclusive Interview on IntBot’s Global Expansion

On June 23, 2026, 36Kr published an exclusive interview article about IntBot.

The 36Kr article is not an official announcement confirming IntBot’s business plans or deployment record. To assess the company’s progress, it is important to distinguish the exploration of applications in Singapore reported previously by this newspaper from the start of actual operations.

The news value lies not in progress in IntBot’s business itself, but in the publication of an interview article that discusses the company in the context of global expansion. The direction described in the article’s headline cannot be equated with completed actions such as establishing a new base, expanding into additional regions or beginning commercial deployment. The publication of an interview article should be treated as a different kind of evidence from a company announcement of plans or disclosure of operational results. In a previous report, this newspaper said IntBot and Certis Group had announced a strategic partnership to explore applications for socially intelligent robots in Singapore. IntBot and Certis Group Partner to Advance Physical AI in Singapore That report described a partnership to explore applications, not deployment at a specific facility or a record of operations. Nor can the new interview article be read as evidence that the exploration has advanced to implementation. Taken together, the publicly available information currently confirms two distinct stages: exploration of applications in Singapore and a media article discussing IntBot in the context of global expansion. Assessing the commercialization of socially intelligent robots requires looking beyond descriptions of the technology and distinguishing what they will do in each environment from how they will be operated after deployment. Based on the information available here, the article’s publication does not confirm deployment sites, the number of robots or operating conditions, and therefore does not provide a basis for judging the company’s business progress. What remains to be seen is whether the exploration of applications moves to concrete trials or sustained operations, and how “global expansion” will be defined in terms of target regions and service models. The information provided does not establish these points. See the original source for details of the interview.
