Mentee Robotics

Mentee Robotics is focused on developing robots that can perform service tasks around the house based on human verbal instructions and simple demonstrations. These tasks include cleaning, sorting laundry, opening bottles, pouring drinks, handing objects to family members, and operating household appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, coffee machines, vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers, as well as limited forms of gardening. The robot is also capable of performing deliveries and pickups from nearby locations. The demand for service robotics is expected to increase due to a global decline in the availability of home assistance, the growing popularity of lifestyle gadgets, and the high cultural appeal of domestic robots. However, the usability of the robot and its price tag will be critical factors in meeting this demand. As manufacturing costs are high, the product is likely to remain a premium offering for the home user for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, service robots are expected to be sold to businesses in the service industry and to assisted living environments where they can replace human labor.
