MassRobotics this week opened its call for applicants for Cohort 6 of its Healthcare Robotics Startup Catalyst Program. The program is a four-month, non-equity initiative that helps robotics and automation teams accelerate clinical readiness, technical validation, and go-to-market in healthcare and life sciences.

Applications are open now, and will close Dec. 31, 2026. The cohort will run February through June 2027, concluding with company showcases at the Robotics Summit & Expo in Boston.

This year, MassRobotics welcomed Intel to the program’s steering committee, joining founding partners Festo, Novanta, and Mitsubishi Electric U.S.

Intel said its Health and Life Sciences team brings mentorship and technical depth in edge AI and on-device compute for surgical and procedure-enabling robotics and OR automation, an area of growing interest across the cohort.

“Having supported the MassRobotics Healthcare Catalyst Program for three years, I’m proud of the journey we at Festo have taken — from founding member to seeing standout startups like Tenomix thrive,” said Johannes Linzbach, the head of Research Hub Boston at Festo. “What I love most is discovering the people behind the technology: their ambition, their ideas, and what drives them. At Festo, we’re excited to support Cohort 6 with our experience and connections across the ecosystem as they turn those ideas into solutions that can scale.”

The Healthcare Robotics Catalyst connects selected startups with senior mentors from MassRobotics’ corporate partners, along with practicing clinicians and leading organizations in the medical field.
