The probate allows aid forces to transport large quantities of equipment and supplies to residents without generating human exposure and interaction and operated by unit fighters and robots, who have been trained to operate the device and are competent to operate an advanced control unit, "noted the unit officer of the unit , Major B. "The unit fighters will know how to make the necessary adjustments to incorporate the probate into any mission required. In operating this robot, the fighter resides in a space where he is not at risk of contagion in Corona. "

As of last Friday, the fighters began operating the robot, which was designed even before the Corona crisis to aid the fighter forces in transporting heavy weight equipment, and was converted to assist the civilian sector after the Corona's attack spread, to assist residents. "In the past few weeks, we have been working on creating the answer to bringing medicines to patients using a robot," said Capt. Y., a technology and maintenance officer at the IDF.

"On Friday, after loading the tools and arriving at a predefined meeting point, we conducted a joint briefing of the participating forces in the Bnei Brak city area and distributed missions," added Captain Y. "The aid boxes were loaded on the vessel and we started distributing. The probot allowed for a very large amount of groceries, it is portable and small and allows us to move in narrow and crowded places with a multitude of vehicles parked in the streets. It is a great privilege for us to take part in the national effort of the State of Israel and a huge right Command soldiers and commanders who help the civilian. "

Capt. Y. also has a personal angle for the special activity in Bnei Brak. "I am a native of the city, and my late grandfather, who passed away a month ago, owned a vegetable shop in the city. Today, while operating the robot and distributing the groceries for the first time, I came to the task at the store location and noticed my uncle waving goodbye, this is an event that really excited me personally during this time. It is a sense of pride and satisfaction in helping the city I was born in and I wish to wish all the people of Israel on my behalf, on behalf of the IDF and on behalf of the Technology Corps and the maintenance of a happy and happy Passover holiday.
