Editorial summaries

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.

Reflex

Reflex Robotics' Reflex is a wheeled mobile-manipulator humanoid for warehouse and logistics operations: a sub-2-foot wheeled base, dual arms (25 pounds per arm, 50 pounds combined), an adjustable spine reaching floor to high shelf, a 16-plus-hour battery, and swappable three-finger grippers with suction. The verified-vs-claimed point is the autonomy posture: Reflex is designed for teleoperated deployment with a learning-from-demonstrations path toward autonomy, not an autonomous worker today.

DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity with one verified deployment. As industrial and logistics equipment it has no consumer price, and its wheeled base distinguishes it from the bipedal-humanoid cohort.
