Mirsee Robotics is a Canadian robotics company based in Cambridge, Ontario, that designs and manufactures humanoid robots for industrial applications. Founded in 2017 by Tarek Rahim, the company has developed three generations of humanoid robots, with its current flagship being the MH3, a wheeled humanoid designed for physically demanding tasks in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and defense. Mirsee designs and assembles all of its robots in Ontario, positioning itself as one of Canada's few homegrown humanoid robotics companies.[1][2]
Mirsee Robotics was established in 2017 by Tarek Rahim, with co-founder Robert Ings helping to build the company from its early stages. The company set out to develop humanoid robots that could take on physically punishing work in manufacturing and other industrial environments, working alongside people rather than replacing them.[1]
Over the following years, Mirsee iterated through multiple generations of humanoid hardware, building all major components (including batteries) in-house at its facility in Cambridge, Ontario. The company received a $500,000 award from the Canadian Department of National Defence through its Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program to develop high-immersion, teleoperated robots for hazardous jobs.[3]
Mirsee has partnered with Eclipse Automation, a Canadian automation engineering firm, to accelerate the path from prototype to production-scale manufacturing of its humanoid robots.[4]
The MH3 is Mirsee's third-generation humanoid robot and the company's current flagship product. Rather than walking on two legs, the MH3 uses a wheeled base for mobility, a design choice intended to maximize battery life and stability.

The MH3 combines artificial intelligence-driven autonomy with teleoperation capabilities, making it suitable for extending human capabilities into physically demanding, hazardous, and hard-to-staff environments. Target sectors include manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defense, and infrastructure.[2][5]
As of early 2026, the MH3 is in pre-production, with plans to transition to a mass-production model. The robot's ability to speak and respond to voice commands using AI is also being added.[1]
Before the MH3, Mirsee developed two earlier prototypes (MH1 and MH2), each incorporating lessons learned from previous iterations. These earlier models helped the company validate its wheeled humanoid design approach and refine its actuator, control, and perception systems.
Mirsee's approach emphasizes practical industrial deployment over research demonstrations. Key technical aspects include:
