This is the best summary I could come up with:

An autonomous robot is due to become the latest addition to San Antonio international airport’s security apparatus.

The robot, which weighs 420lb, stands at 5ft 4in and travels at 3 miles per hour, is expected to make its appearance at the airport in the next two months, according to local reports.

Jalen McKee-Rodriguez, a council member who represents San Antonio’s second district and who voted against the contract, told Saenz: “It’s not your intention to create a space where surveillance is happening … But if the robot has the ability to collect data and information and transmit that, that possibility remains.

Meanwhile, Teri Castillo, a council member who represents the city’s fifth district and who also voted against the deal, asked Saenz whether the robot would replace any airport employees.

At the time of its debut, the New York City mayor, Eric Adams, hailed the robot, saying: “Eventually, this is going to be part of the fabric of our subway system.”

However, the pilot program came to an end earlier this month, with a spokesperson for Adams telling the New York Times: “The Adams administration is constantly exploring innovative technologies that can advance the work we’ve done to bring down crime and keep New Yorkers safe, while maximizing the use of taxpayer dollars.”
