According to the report, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is moving to deploy a new robot that turns two days of tank maintenance into a two-hour task, returning armored vehicles to action far faster than before.
The report stated that Octopus Robot was developed by Ruby.AI, the system features arms or manipulators likened to a mechanical octopus, capable of bending, twisting, and reaching deep into tank engines. The report said that these manipulators can handle maintenance tasks, like cleaning components and scanning systems, that were once manually performed by soldiers.

The report said that these manipulators can handle maintenance tasks, like cleaning components and scanning systems, that were once manually performed by humans. The robot can operate autonomously, keeping personnel out of hazardous spaces and away from chemicals, oil residue, and extreme heat.
Daniel Ben Dov, Chief Executive Officer at Ruby.AI, as quoted by Jerusalem Post, said that they are developing both the robotic arms themselves and their brains. He said that this robot is not a sterile factory robot, but one that can work in mud, dust, heat, and cold.
The report added that the company is also developing mission-specific robots capable of crawling through mud and water to clear underground tunnels, navigating spaces that challenge conventional humanoid designs.
Additionally, beyond combat support, Ruby.AI is exploring military medical robots, including five-fingered bionic arms that assist rehabilitation and operate safely in chemically contaminated environments.
