Mentee Robotics de-cloaks to launch new AI-driven humanoid robot - The Robot Report
mentee humanoid robot with commands listed. The Menteebot humanoid can take verbal instructions and then execute a mission. | Credit: Mentee Robotics ## Leveraging Sim2Real training data Mentee Robotics is developing a humanoid robot that it said will be capable of understanding natural-language commands by using artificial intelligence. The growth and evolution of large language models (LLM) over the past year is the foundation for this capability. [...] The company‘s founders also include Prof. Lior Wolf, the CEO of Mentee Robotics and formerly a research scientist and director at Facebook AI Research, and Prof. Shai Shalev-Shwartz, a computer scientist and machine learning researcher. Prof. Shashua is also the founder and current CEO of Mobileye, a public company that is developing autonomous-driving and driver-assist technologies and harnessing advancements in computer vision, machine learning, mapping, and data analysis. The company joins a growing list of robotics developers that have launched competing humanoids in the past year, including Figure AI, Sanctuary AI, Apptronik, Tesla, 1X, and others. mentee humanoid robot with commands listed. [...] The prototype of Menteebot that was unveiled today incorporates AI at every level of its operations. The motion of the robot is based on a new machine-learning method called simulation to reality (Sim2Real). In this method, reinforcement learning happens on a virtual version of the robot, which means that it can use as much data as it needs to learn and then respond to the real world with very little data. NeRF-based methods, which are the newest neural network-based technologies for representing 3D scenes, map the world on the fly. The semantic knowledge is stored in these cognitive maps, which the computer can query to find things and places. Mentee’s robot can then figure out where it is on the 3D map and then automatically plan dynamic paths to avoid obstacles.

Figure AI details plan to improve humanoid robot safety in the workplace | TechCrunch
“We recognize that the general population is often at the mercy of the technology experts to judge whether an AI-controlled robot can be safe,” Gruendel wrote. “We want to speak directly with our customers. We will test and communicate the robot’s stability while stationary, stability while moving, detection of humans, detection of four-legged pets, safe AI behaviors, and navigation to prevent injury. We will listen to suggestions from our customers on ways to test the safety of Figure 02 and beyond.” Boston Dynamics' Atlas in action Figure plans to publish quarterly updates offering more transparency around the process. The reports will include testing procedures and fixes for potential hazards. “We will summarize our successes and failures,” according to Gruendel. [...] Safety is often overlooked in the rush to bring humanoid robots to the workplace. As high-profile corporations ranging from retailers like Amazon to carmakers such as Mercedes and BMW have announced humanoid pilots for factories and warehouses, conversations around worker safety are regularly buried beneath industry hype. One Bay Area robotics firm is hoping to correct that shortfall. Figure AI announced Tuesday it is building a Center for the Advancement of Humanoid Safety, an in-house division wholly focused on the topic. Rob Gruendel, the former Amazon Robotics safety engineer who is heading up the project, revealed the plans via a LinkedIn post. [...] Agility Robotics Digit at GXO Fetch founder, Melonee Wise, has made the topic of humanoid safety a key focus since joining Agility Robotics as chief technology officer in 2023. “With any humanoid robot operating in this space, safety is not clear,” Wise told me during a humanoids panel at last year’s Automate conference. “There isn’t an easy stop for [Tesla’s] Optimus. There isn’t a stop on many [humanoid robots], and that is against the safety standard. It’s very clear that many of the companies are not interested in it.” The creation of the Center for the Advancement of Humanoid Safety is an important step on that journey for Figure.
