For years, AI has lived mainly on screens and in servers—but IntBot is changing that. At CES 2026, Nylo, IntBot’s humanoid social robot, is taking AI off the screen and into the real world as a fully autonomous Physical Agent.
Robot skin that senses touch and pain — and triggers instant reflexes — makes robots more like humans. It probably also makes the safer to be around

Scientists achieve major robotics milestone as robot learns 1,000 different physical tasks in single day, potentially transforming manufacturing, healthcare and home robotics.
You can see it in the biggest labor shift in modern history. In the early 1800s, around 70% of Americans worked on farms. Then came tractors, combine harvesters, mechanized irrigation. By 2000, farm work in the U.S. had dropped to about 2% of the workforce.
According to the researchers, their new neuromorphic robotic e-skin is based on a structure inspired by the human nervous system. This allows it to sense even the slightest touch, identify pain and injury, provide immediate local reflex responses, and enable rapid repair through modular components.
