Mentee Robotics

An Israeli humanoid-robot company founded by Mobileye's founder, acquired by Mobileye in 2026.

Mentee Robotics was founded in Israel in 2022; its co-founders include Mobileye founder Amnon Shashua and CEO Lior Wolf. Its product is the general-purpose humanoid robot MenteeBot: the reported third generation stands about 175 cm tall with a payload of about 25 kg, relies on cameras alone for perception, uses in-house actuators and a hot-swappable battery, and leans heavily on sim-to-real transfer for training, emphasizing autonomous task completion from natural-language instructions rather than teleoperation. On January 6, 2026, Mobileye announced it was acquiring Mentee for about $900 million, planning customer proof-of-concept trials in 2026 and mass production in 2028, extending its autonomous-driving perception and chip capabilities into humanoid robots.

ExampleIn a Mentee demo, a user tells MenteeBot in one sentence to fetch a box from a shelf, and the robot understands the scene, plans a path, and completes the task on its own.
