Mobileye announced it plans to acquire Mentee Robotics for $900 million at CES 2026.
At CES 2026 in Las Vegas, Israel-based self-driving technology company Mobileye announced it would acquire fellow Israel-based AI and humanoid robotics developer Mentee Robotics.
Mobleye said that the total consideration for the acquisition will be $900 million (subject to certain adjustments), comprising approximately $612 million in cash and up to about 26.2 million shares of Mobileye Class A common stock, subject to adjustment based on the vesting of any Mentee options before the closing.
The companies said that this transaction would combine Mobileye’s advanced AI technology and global production expertise with Mentee’s humanoid platform and deep AI talent. Mobileye and Mentee Robotics added that this acquisition will create a global leader in physical AI across two transformative markets: autonomous driving and humanoid robotics.
Founded in 2022, Mentee Robotics was named by NVIDIA as an organization that is using its open-source Isaac Lab for humanoid and AI simulation in late 2024.
According to Pitchbook, Mentee Robotics secured a $21 million funding round in March 2025 that valued the startup at $162 million. Less than 12 months later, the company was acquired for just shy of $1 billion.
“I am immensely proud of what Mentee’s multidisciplinary team has accomplished in just four years,” said Prof. Lior Wolf, CEO of Mentee Robotics. “We set out to build a platform that combines cutting-edge AI with deeply integrated hardware to make humanoid robots truly useful in real-world environments. Joining forces with Mobileye gives us access to unparalleled AI infrastructure and commercialization expertise, accelerating our mission to bring scalable, safe, and cost-effective humanoid solutions to market.”
Mobileye described Mentee Robotics’ flagship Menteebot humanoids as being engineered to deliver robust out-of-the-box functionality, including the integration of advanced scene understanding and natural instruction following, end-to-end autonomous task execution without teleoperation, and reliable locomotion, navigation and safe manipulation of rigid objects.
In November 2025, Mentee Robotics released an 18-minute, unedited video showcasing two Menteebots working together moving 32 boxes from eight piles to storage racks of different heights.
“Today marks a new chapter for robotics and automotive AI, and the beginning of Mobileye 3.0,” said Prof. Amnon Shashua, president and CEO of Mobileye. “By combining Mentee’s breakthroughs in humanoid robotics with Mobileye’s expertise in automotive autonomy, and its proven ability to productize advanced AI, we have a unique opportunity to lead the evolution of physical AI across robotics and autonomous vehicles on a global scale.”
