Mobileye has announced the acquisition of startup Mentee Robotics for $900 million, signaling a major expansion of its ambitions beyond automotive driver assistance and into the wider field of intelligent robotics. The deal reflects Mobileye’s growing focus on leveraging its expertise in artificial intelligence, computer vision and autonomy to build platforms that can operate across multiple real world environments.
Mentee Robotics has built a reputation for developing advanced robotic systems capable of perception driven decision making and autonomous movement. Its technology is seen as complementary to Mobileye’s core strengths, particularly in interpreting complex surroundings and enabling machines to respond safely and efficiently. By integrating Mentee Robotics’ capabilities, Mobileye aims to accelerate the development of more versatile autonomous systems that extend beyond cars into broader robotic applications.
The acquisition highlights a strategic shift as boundaries between autonomous vehicles and robotics continue to blur. Technologies originally designed for self driving cars are increasingly being adapted for use in areas such as logistics, industrial automation and service robotics. Mobileye’s move positions it to take advantage of this convergence by applying its autonomy stack to a wider range of machines and use cases.
