Mentee Robotics MenteeBot

An Israeli general-purpose humanoid robot whose maker, Mentee Robotics, was acquired by Mobileye in 2026.

MenteeBot is a general-purpose humanoid robot developed by the Israeli startup Mentee Robotics, founded around 2022 by Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua along with Lior Wolf, who serves as CEO. The reported third-generation MenteeBot stands about 175 cm tall, weighs about 70 kg, carries about 25 kg, and has around 40 degrees of freedom. It relies on cameras alone for perception, including side- and rear-facing fisheye cameras for 360-degree coverage, and uses in-house motors and actuators, tactile-sensing hands, and hot-swappable batteries; its training leans heavily on sim-to-real transfer. Mentee Robotics emphasizes scene understanding, following natural-language instructions, and end-to-end autonomous execution without teleoperation. On January 6, 2026, Mobileye announced it would acquire Mentee for about $900 million, with plans for initial customer proof-of-concept deployments in 2026 and mass production by 2028.

ExampleUnder the plan laid out in the acquisition announcement, MenteeBot is set to go on-site with customers in 2026 to prove out autonomous work that doesn't rely on teleoperation.
