What is MenteeBot?
MenteeBot is a humanoid robot developed by Mentee Robotics, a Mobileye company. It stands 175cm tall, weighs 70kg, carries up to 25kg and walks at 1.5m/s. It learns new skills by watching people, uses voice interaction, and targets household, warehouse and manufacturing work.
Most robots need hand coding or teleoperation for every new task. MenteeBot is built around human-to-robot mentoring: a person demonstrates or instructs, and the robot learns from a few examples, then acts autonomously. Simulation-first training, NeRF-based 3D mapping and large language models help it navigate, pick and place in real environments, and a hot-swappable battery supports continuous operation.
