Israeli startup Mentee Robotics just shared an uncut 18-minute video with two of its flagship humanoid robots working together as autonomous warehouse workers.
Launched in 2022, Mentee says it’s developing an “AI-based robot you can mentor.” The Herzliya-based is preparing to scale production oof its third-generation MenteeBot humanoids, initially targeting logistics use cases.
The robotics firm, which has about 70 employees, has been quiet for most of 2025 after unveiling its V3 MenteeBot with major improvements in hardware, sensors, mobility, and lifting capabilities. Heading into 2026, the startup is trying to differentiate itself by positioning its humanoids as poised for commercial rollout.
Its latest demo features two Gen 3 MenteeBots executing a full end-to-end workflow while navigating a cluttered environment side-by-side. Without teleoperation, the robots lifted 32 boxes from eight uneven piles and distributed them across four flow racks. They adjusted on the fly to different sized piles and maintained balance without human correction. The two machines operated in close proximity for the duration, executing a continuous sequences of decisions based on real objects in real space.
“This coordinated workflow shows how humanoid robots can support real warehouse operations by handling repetitive tasks safely and reliably,” the company said in a blog post. “It highlights steady locomotion, stable manipulation, and consistent decision making while interacting with real objects in a practical environment.”
Mentee Robotics says its approach to training humanoids combines two popular choices in the sector: end-to-end vision-language-action (VLA) models and modular agent systems. According to the startup, MenteeBots can learn new, complex tasks from a single demo so they can be ready for on-site adaptation within hours. Its artificial intelligence runs onboard using NVIDIA Orin GPUs for vision, planning, and real-time control without cloud connectivity.
Mentee’s flagship robot stands 175 cm (5 feet 9 inches) and weighs around 70 kg (154 lbs). Its payload capacity is reported as 25 kg (55 lbs) and moves as speeds up to 1.5 m/s (3.3 mph). It perceives its surroundings in 360 degrees with fisheye side cameras and depth sensors. The robot has a hot-swappable battery system for continuous operations; each battery lasts for about three hours under typical conditions.
One of Mentee’s biggest competitors is US-based Agility Robotics, which recently reported that its flagship humanoid, Digit, has moved more than 100,000 totes in a live production facility operated by GXO Logistics. Agility opened what it calls the world’s first factory for mass producing humanoid robots in Salem, OR in 2024. The manufacturing facility is built to scale to 10,000 units per year.
MenteeBots are expected to sell for around $20,000 once mass produced.
