Axilum Robotics was founded in April 2011 in Strasbourg, France, as a spin-off company from the medical robotics research group of ICube (Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Ingénieur, de l'Informatique et de l'Imagerie), a Research Unit of the University of Strasbourg, CNRS, ENGEES and INSA, based on a fundamental patent in medical robotics.

Its mission is to develop and commercialize robotized solutions to assist Health Care Professional with medical procedures.

The first project of Axilum Robotics is a robot to assist psychiatrists and neurologists for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

The project was an award winner at the national contest for creation of innovative technology companies organized by the French Ministry of Research in 2009 and in 2010 and has been certified through the Life Science cluster Alsace Biovalley in 2011.
