About

Mentee Robotics is an Israeli robotics startup developing MenteeBot, an AI-integrated humanoid robot designed to understand verbal commands, navigate, manipulate objects with dexterity, and perform complex tasks in both home and industrial settings. The company combines advanced Sim2Real machine learning for locomotion, NeRF-based 3D mapping, and transformer-based language models for task reasoning. Co-founded by AI and robotics experts including Prof. Amnon Shashua, Prof. Lior Wolf, and Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz.

Founded in 2022 by AI and robotics pioneers.
Unveiled MenteeBot, an AI-centric humanoid robot prototype capable of verbal interaction, navigation, object detection, scene understanding, and manipulation.
Raised approximately $17M in funding led by Ahren Innovation Capital.
In November 2025, two V3 MenteeBots completed a full autonomous warehouse logistics task, moving 32 boxes across multiple racks in an unedited 18-minute run.
Acquired by Mobileye for $900 million in February 2026; operating as an independent unit within Mobileye.
