Bringing together robotics and automotive AI
Under the terms of the deal, Mobileye would purchase Mentee for roughly $612 million in cash and up to 26.2 million shares of Mobileye. The transaction is projected to close in the first quarter of 2026.
The merger would combine Mobileye's mobility tech and manufacturing network with the robotics start-up's simulation-based humanoid platform. Mentee is designing its robots to be cost-efficient and broadly functional, with a rapid learning system that requires fewer human demonstrations.
