Three autonomous robots have spent months weaving through the corridors of Sheba Medical Center carrying time-sensitive chemotherapy drugs, blood and bone marrow between departments. Now there will be six. Gix Internet subsidiary Deliverz.AI announced on November 9, 2026, that Sheba, Israel's largest hospital and a facility ranked among the world's top ten, placed a follow-on order for three additional robots.
The expansion doubles Deliverz.AI's footprint at the Tel Aviv hospital, where the existing fleet has completed thousands of autonomous missions in continuous commercial use. The original three robots were deployed for exactly the kind of transport that hospitals most want automated: chemotherapy medications that must reach oncology units on a strict schedule, and blood and bone marrow samples that can't tolerate delay or mishandling.
From Oncology Corridors to Operating Rooms
What makes the order notable isn't just the doubling of robot count, it's the scope creep that comes with it. Sheba and Deliverz.AI say the expanded fleet is planned to move into operating-room logistics and specimen collection across additional hospital departments, pushing the robots from a narrow, high-value delivery niche into the broader flow of a hospital's internal supply chain.
Deliverz.AI CEO Amir Nardimon framed the deal as proof of staying power rather than a fresh sales win: "Expanding within an existing customer is an important demonstration of the value we believe our platform delivers." Sheba's Michal Kaplansky echoed that the order is "another step in Sheba's vision and strategy to automate logistics." Neither side disclosed the contract's financial value.
A Crowded, Fast-Growing Niche
Hospital delivery robots have moved from novelty to routine fixture at a number of large health systems over the past two years. Rochester Regional Health's Moxi robots passed 100,000 trips in August 2026, BayCare added Relay robots at its Winter Haven facilities in June, and Ottonomy closed a $4.2 million round in October specifically to push its Ottobot platform into more hospitals. Scotland's Royal Hospital for Children also became the first facility anywhere to dedicate robotic arms solely to pediatric surgery this year, a reminder that hospital robotics spans far more than hallway logistics.
What distinguishes the Sheba deployment is the clinical stakes of the cargo. Chemotherapy and blood-product transport leaves little room for error, and a hospital doubling down on the same vendor after real-world use, rather than running a pilot and walking away, is the kind of repeat-business signal that logistics robotics companies need to prove their platforms hold up outside a demo environment, according to Gix Internet.
