Blue and white robotic pride: An extraordinary demonstration by Israeli company Mentee Robotics places the company at the forefront of humanoid robot development worldwide. recently, the company released an 18-minute-long video in which two V3 MenteeBot robots perform various warehouse tasks with no human intervention, no remote control, and no editing. The demonstration, conducted in an active warehouse, highlights the robots’ ability to operate independently, synchronize with each other, and maintain stability and motion planning in real time.
Behind the company is Prof. Amnon Shashua, a co-founder of Mobileye, who in recent years has been leading the field of humanoid robotics as part of a broader vision for industrial automation. The published experiment demonstrates capabilities that until now were mostly seen in short, staged demonstrations. Here, for the first time, a full, continuous, unedited scenario is presented in which the robots perform a complex task requiring real-time independent decision-making.
In the video, the two robots are seen picking and sorting 32 boxes from eight uneven stacks and placing them on four shelves in the warehouse. The boxes are positioned at varying heights, forcing the robots to use sensors and depth perception to decide how to approach each object. The motion system is designed to handle irregularities, varying surfaces, and changing weights. The robots do not move along fixed paths but adapt their movements according to the situation at each moment.
One of the experiment’s notable achievements is the robots’ ability to operate in a shared space without colliding while maintaining a steady work pace. This is a significant challenge in the industry. Operating more than one robot requires continuous calculations of distances, angles, step guidance, load distribution, and coordination between separate units. The computation is performed on an onboard system, without relying on the cloud, enabling uninterrupted operation even in locations with unstable network connections.
The V3 robot itself stands 175 centimeters tall and is designed for work in logistics environments. It is equipped with two NVIDIA Jetson Orin AGX units responsible for vision processing, object recognition, and 360-degree motion planning. It can carry up to 25 kilograms, allowing it to perform some of the most common warehouse tasks. Its battery is quickly replaceable, and it can operate for over three hours without stopping. The mechanical structure is based on dedicated motors designed to withstand high loads over time.
Although the company previously presented a vision of a smart home assistant, the new direction is clear. Mentee Robotics is targeting business clients exploring labor alternatives for warehouses and logistics centers. This trend is noticeable worldwide. Companies like Figure and Agility have already demonstrated industrial uses for humanoid robots. Mentee is following a similar path, emphasizing stability, reliability, and long operational continuity.
Transitioning from short demonstrations to full industrial use is a complex challenge. It requires a stable system, resilience to environmental changes, load management, safety, coordination between units, and the ability to work many hours without failure. The company is trying to prove that its robots have reached this level. Continuous video testing has become one of the parameters helping investors and clients understand how genuine the performance is, rather than staged. According to the experiment, Mentee aims to establish its image as a company providing an operational technological solution, not just a research project. If the upcoming tests yield similar results, Israel’s first humanoid robot may soon stand at the center of logistics spaces worldwide, performing tasks previously done by human workers.
