Unlimited Robotics raises $5 million Seed round to tackle healthcare worker shortage

Unlimited Robotics, which aims to solve critical staffing shortages in healthcare through the deployment of autonomous robotic solutions, has closed a $5 million Seed round led by lool ventures, an early-stage Israeli venture capital firm. Additional investors include Avishai Abrahami, CEO and Co-founder of Wix, and Micha Kauffman, CEO and Co-founder of Fiverr.
Unlimited Robotics has already implemented its robotic solutions in two of Israel's largest hospitals—Rabin Medical Center (Belinson) and Shamir Medical Center (Assaf Harofe). The company's 2-armed robots, named Gary, are designed to navigate the dynamic and complex environments of hospitals, performing repetitive tasks such as delivering meals and supplies, directing patients and visitors, transporting Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), and engaging with elderly patients in cognitive activities.
“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.”
Unlimited Robotics was founded by Altagar alongside Martin Gordon (CPO) and Dr. Eli Kolberg (CTO). The team is made up of 24 people.
