About
About Corenetic AI
Corenetic AI’s Monte 02 is a full-body humanoid with 21 degrees of freedom across the body and a further 18 across its end effectors. The platform combines bipedal movement, articulated manipulation and onboard perception so developers can work on tasks that require the robot to reposition itself, reach into human-scale workspaces and handle objects with coordinated upper-body motion.
Monte 02 is an embodied-intelligence platform for laboratory, logistics, agricultural and service experiments. Its application work includes liquid handling, operation of laboratory instruments, sorting, plant pollination and collaborative inspection. Corenetic supplies the physical robot together with the control and application layer needed to develop these behaviours, placing Monte 02 between a research humanoid and a configurable system for early real-world trials.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-08-09 - Partnership - Corenetic AI and MGI enter strategic collaboration for life-science and robotics applications
Corenetic announced a strategic collaboration with MGI, part of the BGI Group, spanning life-science automation and broader multi-scenario robotics. The partners demonstrated embodied-robot automation for wastewater pathogen testing, spanning front-end sampling through back-end analysis. Corenetic cast the work as validation that its general-purpose platform can handle dynamic environments and generalized task execution in lab-adjacent settings.

Monte02 stands 1.6 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms, with two seven-degree-of-freedom arms and differential-wheel mobility. Conference demonstrations combined sample preparation, sample transfers and equipment loading into extended laboratory sequences; natural-language and teaching interfaces were part of the maker’s proposed workflow.
