MenteeBot
MenteeBot is an early-stage research humanoid from Mentee Robotics, the Israeli developer Mobileye agreed to acquire in a deal announced January 2026. There is no consumer product, price, or delivery date on record; the editorial position is honest-absence, with the Mobileye acquisition (an AV-perception-to-humanoid thesis) as the reason to watch it rather than buy it.
