About

About Monte 02

Monte 02 is Corenetic's wheeled humanoid for laboratory handling and other structured manipulation tasks. The platform combines two seven-axis arms with a differential-drive base, visual perception and lidar and ultrasonic sensing. Its human-scale body is about 1.6 metres tall and weighs approximately 100 kilograms. Navigation and motion control coordinate movement between task locations with arm operation.

Natural-language commands and demonstrations provide task input, with software breaking longer workflows into sequences of actions. At the 2025 World Robot Conference, Monte robots performed collaborative sample-preparation demonstrations, including transferring samples, loading equipment and controlling laboratory devices with different end effectors. Corenetic also targets manufacturing, logistics and agricultural applications. The platform is being developed around repeatable, scenario-specific workflows that combine mobile navigation with equipment interaction.

Context

Market context

Dual-arm mobile manipulator for laboratory automation: sampling, transfer, and testing.

  • Target environment: Laboratories, testing workflows, industrial research spaces and controlled indoor environments.
  • Workflow context: Sample handling, transfer, testing support, demonstration learning, mobile manipulation and task automation.
  • Customer context: Labs, industrial R&D teams and automation partners evaluating mobile manipulation for repetitive bench or facility tasks.
  • Deployment model: Prototype mobile manipulator showcased through public robotics events and company material.
  • Commercial maturity: Prototype-stage product with public demonstration context and limited deployment evidence.
  • Adoption constraints: Adoption depends on manipulation precision, safety, end-effector fit, software maturity, lab integration and validated task performance.
  • Market position: Laboratory mobile-manipulation lane using a wheeled base and dual arms rather than a full bipedal humanoid body.
  • Adjacent products: Kinisi 01, MH3, Quanta X2, mimic bi-manual robot station
