Mentee designs its own actuators and claims up to three times the power of competing units, with better precision and power density.","The hands were redesigned for a firmer, impact-resistant grip. Besides head-mounted sensors, the robot has 360-degree vision from a rear camera and side fisheye cameras. The battery is hot-swappable, with more than three hours of continuous operation per pack."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Mentee calls its approach AI-first. Motor skills are learned in simulation with reinforcement learning and transferred to hardware (Sim2Real), and a foundation model lets people teach the robot through text instructions and live demonstrations.","The company describes a mentoring process in which the robot generalises a task from a few demonstrations using Real2Sim2Real (a real demonstration is recreated and multiplied in simulation) and then performs it autonomously without teleoperation."]},{"h":"Applications and deployments","p":["In warehouses the V3 is meant to pick, carry and place goods; household uses such as setting and clearing tables or laundry are longer-term goals. Public demos so far have centred on warehouse tasks. Mobileye plans first on-site customer proof-of-concept deployments in 2026 and series production starting in 2028."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Mentee Robotics was founded in Israel in 2022 by Amnon Shashua (Mobileye's founder), Lior Wolf (CEO) and Shai Shalev-Shwartz. Mobileye announced a deal to buy it for about US$900 million on 6 January 2026 and closed on 3 February 2026. It continues as a separate unit, Mentee by Mobileye."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["MenteeBot V3 is not on sale and no price has been given."]}],"timeline":[["2024-04","First MenteeBot prototype unveiled"],["2025-02","MenteeBot V3.0 presented"],["2025-11","Two V3 robots autonomously move 32 boxes in a warehouse test"],["2026-01","Mobileye announces acquisition of Mentee"],["2026-02","Acquisition closes"]],"faq":[["How tall is MenteeBot V3?","175 cm."],["How much can MenteeBot V3 lift?","Up to 25 kg."],["What is MenteeBot V3's battery life?","Over 3 hours per hot-swappable battery."],["When will MenteeBot be sold?","Mobileye targets series production from 2028, with customer pilots from 2026."],["Is MenteeBot V3 teleoperated?","Mentee stresses that its warehouse demos were fully autonomous, with no teleoperation."]],"sources":[{"title":"MenteeBot V3.0: Israel's humanoid robot with 360° vision","publisher":"Interesting Engineering","url":"https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/israel-humanoid-robot-with-360-vision","date":"2025-02-17"},{"title":"Blog: Two MenteeBots Working Together in an Autonomous Warehouse Task; Mentoring and Instruction Following","publisher":"Mentee Robotics","url":"https://www.menteebot.com/blog","date":"2026-01"},{"title":"About Us","publisher":"Mentee Robotics","url":"https://www.menteebot.com/company","date":"2026"},{"title":"Mobileye to acquire AI humanoid robotics startup Mentee Robotics in $900M deal","publisher":"SiliconANGLE","url":"https://siliconangle.com/2026/01/06/mobileye-acquire-ai-humanoid-robotics-startup-mentee-robotics-900m-deal/","date":"2026-01-06"},{"title":"Mobileye Global Inc.
