MagicLab MagicBot Gen1

MagicLab

MagicBot Gen1 is MagicLab's full-size electric humanoid (174 cm, approx 70 kg, 42 active DoF) with optional 11-DoF tactile hands, 3D LiDAR, depth and fisheye vision, and an 8-core CPU + 100 TOPS AI processor. MagicLab lists contact sales and 3-5 hours runtime with 7.5 kg single-arm load. Secondary sources report MagicLab released December 2024 footage of multiple Gen1 robots doing inspection, material handling, assembly and barcode scanning at an unnamed electronics factory, with a researcher saying the robots were still in skill training with human oversight. No named customer or output metrics were found, and third-party resale prices conflict ($119,800-$218,000)

MenteeBot V3 has stronger source-backed evidence than the previous weak pack: official specs list a 175 cm, 70 kg, 40-DoF biped with 25 kg carry capacity and 1.5 m/s speed, and Mentee/CTech report a two-robot autonomous warehouse demo moving 32 boxes in an 18-minute unedited run. Still score conservatively: there is no named customer deployment, independent benchmark, intervention-rate data, price, or public purchase path, and Mobileye's SEC filing explicitly cautions that humanoid commercialization remains uncertain
