Mentee Robotics

Corporate markethumanoidlogisticsCurated record

Builds MenteeBot, a vertically integrated humanoid robot now in its third generation (V3), using camera-only sensing, proprietary electric actuators, motor-driven tactile sensing on the arm, hot-swappable batteries, and Sim2Real reinforcement-learning-based locomotion and manipulation. Demonstrations show two V3 robots working in tandem on logistics tasks, autonomously picking boxes from piles of varying heights and placing them across racks without teleoperation. A collaboration with an unnamed major European retailer validated fulfillment-center behaviors such as box-picking, cart-loading and dynamic route adjustment. Acquired by Mobileye for $900M (announced at CES, January 2026) and operates as an independent unit within Mobileye, with first on-site customer proof-of-concept deployments expected in 2026 and series production targeted for 2028.
