HERZLIYA, Israel — Mentee Robotics is redefining the robotics landscape with the introduction of MenteeBot, a humanoid robot that seamlessly integrates robotics, advanced sensing, and artificial intelligence to achieve unprecedented levels of dexterity and perception. Designed as a practical solution for real-world challenges, MenteeBot represents a significant leap forward in robotic capability and human-robot interaction.

A Practical Approach to AI and Robotics

Mentee Robotics has developed a comprehensive vertical solution, combining hardware and AI to create a versatile and stable platform. Unlike conventional robots, MenteeBot is tailored to handle complex, human-like tasks, making it a reliable partner in various settings. The robot, set to launch for select customers in 2025, is designed to address real-world needs with immediate, impactful use cases.

In collaboration with a global retailer and a prominent nursing home chain, MenteeBot demonstrated its adaptability. The robot can now assist elderly shoppers by pushing a cart and following a person in a wheelchair, stopping naturally to allow items to be placed in the cart. This seamless, human-like interaction highlights MenteeBot’s ability to enhance day-to-day activities with intuitive support.

Innovative Training and Simulation

To bridge the gap between simulation and real-world application, Mentee Robotics leverages NVIDIA’s Isaac Lab, a simulation platform powered by the NVIDIA Omniverse. By training in this advanced environment and incorporating proprietary technologies, MenteeBot achieves smooth, human-like motion and rapidly learns new tasks. These capabilities allow it to operate effectively in unstructured, marker-less 3D environments.

Unmatched Locomotion and Dexterity

MenteeBot’s cutting-edge locomotion and dexterity are powered by two NVIDIA Jetson Orin system-on-modules, enabling real-time computation directly on the robot. Its robust battery provides hours of uninterrupted operation. The upcoming V3 model, expected by late 2024, will feature a detachable battery, enabling continuous use across multiple shifts in warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing, and nursing homes.

Transforming Human-Robot Collaboration

Mentee Robotics envisions a future where robots like MenteeBot assist with labor shortages, improve efficiency, and enhance quality of life for individuals in need. By combining practical AI, advanced robotics, and human-like functionality, the company is poised to deliver a new standard in robotics, making MenteeBot a game-changer in industries ranging from healthcare to retail.
