Robin Medical Centre (Belinson) and Shamir Medical Centre (Assaf Harofe), two of Israel’s biggest hospitals, have previously adopted robotic solutions from Unlimited Robotics.
Gary, the company’s two-armed robot, is made to manoeuvre through the dynamic and intricate environments of hospitals, carrying out repetitive duties like bringing meals and supplies, guiding patients and guests, moving Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and having cognitive conversations with senior patients.

“Usually, robots can perform only one function. With our technology, all of the solutions are integrated on one device, which frees the team in the hospital to focus on what’s important – patients, leaving Gary to handle all the repetitive, simple tasks,” said CEO Guy Altagar. “With this funding round, we can expand Gary’s capabilities, add more value to healthcare organizations, and bring a great number of solutions for people with disabilities, nurses and doctors, working 24/7.”
