A new humanoid robot recently launched on the market promises to perform capabilities even more similar to those of human beings. MenteeBot was recently announced by Mentee Robotics, Israeli startup founded in 2022, as a personalized humanoid robot equipped with ultra-modern artificial intelligence technology.
Models can be controlled by natural language commands and have an unusual presentation: unlike other robots, This version does not have a head. Conforme a startup, innovation is capable of performing tasks “with the same balance and control as a human”. Although humanoid robots are not new, The advances in autonomy and interaction presented by the system represent a new stage of technology.
The company claims that there is a big difference between the MenteeBot and other existing models. The launch would not have a limited set of commands and also features software that unlocks “advanced training techniques”, You can even have conversations with humans.
Two versions will be available
Mentee Robotics announced that the humanoid robot will be available in two versions on the market: um bot residential, focusing on domestic tasks, and a trading bot, focused on performing manual work. Although, the startup did not disclose dates for the product's arrival on the market or price estimates.
Even without a humanoid head, the MenteeBot will have two arms and two legs, structure that will allow training for a series of common daily human tasks. Yet, the company detailed that the machine learning process will take place in a virtual environment.
In this model, the robot is initially trained on a digital simulation of itself performing the task it needs to learn. To be, is a similar concept to that presented by AI devices, like Rabbit R1. Then, the software performs the activity repeatedly in this simulated environment until it is mastered. After this step, knowledge is transferred to the physical robot, who starts to perform the same tasks in the real world.
