Worcester, MA, May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AiM Medical Robotics, a leading developer of advanced robotic systems for MRI-guided neurosurgery, today announced a collaboration agreement with Siemens Healthineers for the implementation of an interface enabling AiM’s robotic platform to operate with MRI systems from Siemens Healthineers. The interface supports the integration of AiM’s compact, MRI-compatible robotic stereotactic neurosurgery system and associated workflow with the market-leading Siemens Healthineers’ MAGNETOM MRI scanners. This interface-based integration represents an important step toward coordinated robot–MRI operation and provides a foundation for future collaboration opportunities. Building on this technical compatibility, AiM Medical Robotics sees the potential to further explore deeper levels of integration aimed at advancing precision and efficiency in image-guided neurosurgical interventions.
AiM Medical Robotics has developed a unique MRI-compatible robotics platform with an initial product enabling precision MRI-guided neurosurgery for rapidly and accurately placing neurostimulator leads, performing tumor & epilepsy ablation, performing biopsies, and delivering therapeutics. Under the new agreement, AiM’s system will connect with the MRI scanners of Siemens Healthineers, ranging from 1.5T and 3T to 0.55T MRI systems including the recently launched MAGNETOM Free.XL, which promises to substantially boost the accessibility of MRI-guided interventions. This software interface enables data exchange and collaborative functionality between the robotic platform and the MRI system. This integration is a key enabler of real-time, in-bore neurosurgical precision, elevating image-guided therapies to new clinical and workflow standards.
“The opportunity to collaborate with a global technology leader like Siemens Healthineers further validates AiM’s technology and expands the ecosystem needed to bring next-generation precision robotics to image-guided operating suites worldwide,” said Gregory Fischer, PhD, Founder & CEO of AiM Medical Robotics. “This collaboration accelerates our roadmap toward clinical deployment and reinforces AiM’s mission to make MRI-guided neurosurgery faster, safer, and more accessible.”
Siemens Healthineers has expressed continued interest in exploring broader software synchronization and compatibility developments with AiM’s technology through its third-party collaboration framework.
This collaboration between AiM Medical Robotics and Siemens Healthineers paves the way for more precise, efficient, and accessible neurological interventions. It validates AiM’s technology and supports the expansion of MRI-guidance and advanced robotic solutions in neurosurgery.
