Partnership marks a major step in scaling enterprise-ready Physical AI across everyday operations
SINGAPORE, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IntBot, the company building the social intelligence layer for embodied AI, and Certis, a leading Singapore-based intelligent operations company, today announced a strategic partnership to explore and develop socially intelligent robot applications for enterprise and public-facing environments in Singapore.
Certis and IntBot will collaborate on humanoid concierge and service-assistance applications that can be integrated into live operating environments, allowing robots to interact naturally with people while meeting practical requirements for safety, reliability and service delivery.
The partnership brings together IntBot’s General Social Intelligence technology with Certis’ experience in designing and running complex, mission-critical operations. Together, the companies will work on humanoid concierge and service-assistance applications that can be integrated into live operating environments, where robots must interact naturally with people while meeting practical requirements for safety, reliability and service delivery.
The Certis-IntBot collaboration signals a broader industry adoption of Physical AI, as socially intelligent robots move from demos and pilots towards operationally viable deployments. As IntBot transitions to a scalable enterprise Physical AI platform, its partnership with Certis validates that its General Social Intelligence technology, deployment model and enterprise operating framework are ready to expand across high-traffic public environments in Singapore and beyond.
“With multimodal models maturing, the decisive bottleneck for embodied AI shifts from task manipulation to human interaction,” said Lei Yang, CEO and co-founder of IntBot. “A robot’s success in public spaces is increasingly measured by its ability to engage people, and Singapore’s smart-infrastructure leadership makes it the ideal launchpad for Physical AI. Partnering with Certis ensures our intelligence layer is backed by world-class operational reliability.”
For Certis, the partnership supports its broader robotics strategy: to integrate robotics into real operations as part of a wider ops-tech model that brings people, processes, systems and machines together. Certis’ role will include shaping use cases, operational workflows and deployment requirements so that humanoid robots can augment frontline teams and support better service outcomes in complex environments.
The collaboration will support a range of customer-facing use cases such as wayfinding, visitor assistance, multilingual engagement, customer service support and frontline operational support across transit, hospitality, healthcare, retail and public venues. By integrating social intelligence with Certis’ humanoid robotics portfolio, the partnership aims to enable robots to move beyond predefined tasks or scripted workflows and become more adaptive, intuitive and capable of naturally assisting people in everyday environments.
“The next phase of enterprise robotics will not be defined by autonomy alone, but by how well robots can work with people in real operations,” said Raahul Kumar, Chief Executive, International & Robotics and Chief Strategy Officer, Certis. “Certis designs and runs complex frontline environments every day, so our role is to help turn promising robotics capabilities into practical operating models. By combining IntBot’s social intelligence technology with our experience in operational design and deployment, we can create humanoid robot applications that support frontline teams in demanding roles and make everyday public interactions simpler and more intuitive.”
Certis was most recently named by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) as a design partner for Singapore’s first large-scale, multi-operator robotics testbed in a live mixed-use public environment at Punggol Digital District located in the northeast of the country. This reflects Certis’ broader focus on moving robotics from controlled pilots into practical frontline operations, where robots, human teams and operating systems must work together safely and effectively.
The companies are working toward initial pilot deployments in Singapore as the technology and use cases mature.
About Certis (www.certisgroup.com) Certis is an integrated operations service provider, built on decades of experience in security and critical frontline operations. We design and run security, facilities and workforce management as a single operating model, orchestrating people, systems and processes in complex, real-world environments to drive results.

PANAMA CITY, May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 Bitcoin for two pizzas. It was not only the first real-world Bitcoin transaction in crypto history but also the beginning of consensus-building in the Web3 world.
Sixteen years later, Bitcoin has become a major global asset, and Bitcoin Pizza Day has evolved into one of the most symbolic cultural totems in Web3.
As another Pizza Day arrived on May 22, HTX DAO transformed this holiday rooted in pure geek culture into a Web3 cultural celebration spanning five major cities worldwide. The event signaled a comprehensive upgrade in HTX’s global service ecosystem while also reflecting a profound shift in the mindset of today’s crypto investors.
Five-City Synergy: Upgrading Global Service Capabilities
If the early crypto world resembled a niche utopia built by internet natives, today’s Web3 ecosystem has entered a truly global era. The boundaries of the industry have been redefined time and again, and crypto culture is moving from on-chain communities to the broader real world.
This time, HTX DAO chose a deeply community-driven approach possible, bringing the festivities to five key cities across the globe to create a borderless celebration of Web3 consensus, each with its own local flair.
Community Deliveries: Crypto-native, peer-to-peer, city-wide pizza deliveries brought hot pizzas personally delivered to community members.
Interactive Gatherings: DIY pizza feasts in bustling commercial districts allowed young Web3 enthusiasts to debate AI, on-chain finance, and the industry’s upcoming major narratives while kneading dough and adding toppings.
Cultural Pop-Ups: Cultural pop-up events in parks featured customized Huobao installations and pizza boxes, which became some of the coolest viral attractions in town.
Premium VIP Experiences: High-end VIP Pizza Day celebrations blended exclusivity with community spirit. Participants enjoyed private Ferrari chauffeur services as well as an upscale dinner party featuring wine, steak, and pizza. As guests engaged in deep conversations, and ideas clashed over market trends, asset allocation, and industry cycles, the event preserved the freedom of crypto culture while showcasing a premium service model as crypto finance matures.
If the five-city offline celebration mirrored one side of HTX DAO’s global ecosystem services, it also highlighted a broader shift in market sentiment across today’s Web3 landscape.
At the HTX DAO Global Pizza Day event, community members engaged in detailed discussions centered around asset allocation and coin-margined yield generation. Interest in HTX Earn’s APYs rose considerably, signaling that a clear turning point in the industry narrative has arrived.
From FOMO to Stable Yield: Crypto Finance Enters a New Asset Management Era
The crypto world has never been short of tales of overnight wealth. In the past few years, market sentiment was dominated by FOMO, with investors frantically chasing the next 100x token or 1,000x Alpha asset.
However, as the industry wades deeper into uncharted regulatory waters and faces ongoing macroeconomic volatility, the underlying investor psyche is quietly shifting. As the frenzy fades, veteran builders and crypto whales alike are shifting away from speculative hype and moving toward pragmatism.
This transformation is directly reflected in both real exchange data and user demand.
Recently, HTX DAO Ambassador and HTX spokesperson Molly revealed that, based on user benefit surveys and interviews with top-tier clients, APY Booster Coupons have become one of the most requested perks. This trend suggests that users’ perception of crypto asset management is shifting, with a growing priority placed on stable yield generation.
In many ways, this is a sign that the crypto industry is maturing.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere at HTX DAO’s global Pizza Day celebration aligns perfectly with this transition in market sentiment: the excitement is still alive, but rationality is returning; the dreams remain, but long-termism is becoming the new consensus.
The Pizza Will Be Gone, But Consensus Will Last Forever
From the very first real-world Bitcoin transaction 16 years ago to today’s HTX DAO Global Pizza Day, this celebration serves not only as a heartfelt tribute to crypto history but also as a symbol of consensus. The evolution toward rational conversations regarding stable yield generation highlights a maturing market that deeply resonates with global users.
Sixteen years on, pizza flavors have changed, and market cycles have come and gone. Yet, HTX DAO’s commitment to standing alongside its community members through every bull and bear market remains unchanged, as does the unwavering belief in a decentralized world and consensus around steady progress.
About HTX DAO
HTX DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) collaboratively built by community members, early contributors, and global advisors. Supported by HTX Exchange and the TRON blockchain ecosystem, HTX DAO is committed to establishing an open governance ecosystem led by users, governed by transparent rules, and driven by efficient collaboration, serving as a key engine in advancing decentralized finance (DeFi).
