MenteeBot V3

What it's for

MenteeBot V3 was designed from the start for one job: warehousing and in-plant logistics. Israel's Mentee Robotics names three specific tasks: picking goods from shelves, moving parcels and palletizing. The robot stands 175 cm tall, weighs 65 to 70 kg (depending on the source), carries up to 25 kg and moves at up to 1.5 m/s, faster than most competitors in this comparison.

According to the manufacturer, MenteeBot is meant to do what a warehouse worker does: walk up to a rack, identify a tote, grip it with both hands, carry it to a pallet and stack a layer. For orientation it uses fisheye cameras with a 360° field of view on the head and torso, plus NeRF-based 3D mapping, and you can give it instructions in natural language thanks to an onboard language model (LLM). Motion learning relies on reinforcement learning in simulation, transferred to the hardware (sim2real). With 55 degrees of freedom (DOF), it sits at the high end of the category and in theory can perform grasps that a robot with 25 degrees of freedom could not.

We must stress, however, that this is still a prototype: the model is listed as a "prototype" and was unveiled in 2025. There are no independent videos or reports confirming that the robot can handle palletizing through a full shift at the required throughput. A run time of about 4 hours and a swappable battery allow near-continuous work with two batteries, but exact energy figures are not given in the sources. The scenarios described here are therefore a stated direction, not measured performance.

Who it's for

MenteeBot is for logistics operators and integrators who want early exposure to humanoid technology for warehouses and have a budget for a pilot, not for series production. For large companies with a network of distribution centers it is a watching brief: the company is being acquired by Mobileye (the January 2026 announcement cites about 900 million USD), which may translate into production scale but could also change product plans.

It is not a robot for small companies or for plants that need equipment available today. It is not on sale in Poland, the price is unconfirmed, and the robot is still a prototype. We also do not recommend it to anyone looking for a solution to work alongside people in a shared space without safety documentation: the sources contain no information on certification against the standards we discuss in “Robot Safety Standards”.

Deployments

Outside Poland, too, there are no documented commercial deployments of MenteeBot V3; the manufacturer presents it as a prototype for warehouses. In the category of logistics humanoids, the best-documented pilots are run by other companies: Agility Digit in warehouses (“Agility Digit in Warehouses”) and Apptronik with Mercedes (“Apptronik Apollo in Mercedes-Benz Factories”). The AMR market, which already works in Polish warehouses today, is covered in “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”. This category is moving fast, so the picture of deployments may change within months.

The Agility Digit 5 is Agility Robotics' humanoid, with the largest number of documented warehouse trials; it is in a pilot phase, with no prices published. The Apptronik Apollo carries 25 kg like MenteeBot and runs for about 4 hours; it has 71 DOF and a Mercedes partnership described in “Apptronik Apollo in Mercedes-Benz Factories”. The Figure 03 claims a 20 kg payload and 5 hours of runtime, but with no published price. The Unitree H2, at 29,900 USD (about 115,900 PLN (≈ EUR 26,560)), is the only one of these options with a clear price list, though the manufacturer states no payload. The Galbot G1 claims 8 hours of runtime and a 10 kg payload, but is still a prototype. For simple transport, a mobile robot is often enough instead of a humanoid; see the overview in “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”.

Mentee Robotics was founded in 2022 in Herzliya, Israel. MenteeBot V3 was unveiled in 2025 as the third generation of the robot. The most important turn in the company's history is the acquisition by Mobileye for about 900 million USD, announced in January 2026 and covering the company together with the MenteeBot technology. Later generations and the dates of earlier versions are not documented, so we do not reconstruct them. Some sources give a speed of about 3 km/h, but Interesting Engineering states 1.5 m/s, and that is the value we use.
