What robot explored Mercury close up?

From what I have learned, there has not yet been a robot that explored Mercury from closeup. They see Mercury since it is able to be seen by the naked eye in certain times of the night and day. It can also be seen with a telescope. So in all: There has not yet been a robot to explore Mercury from what I know. I apologize if this is incorrect.
