In the future, we will have robots that work in a safe and dynamic environment with humans.
Today, interactions with production robots are still relatively dangerous. As a result, robots are enclosed in cages or have speed limitations to protect humans from injury. While cages and speed limitations decrease the probability of accidents, they increase the number of restrictions a robot has, the average task time, and the payback period.
Current technologies measure, or estimate, the interaction forces indirectly and do not offer the necessary redundancy that a robotic system is required to have for its functionality and safety assessment. An ideal force-sensitive robot could solve this problem by feeling the applied forces on an object or human, and Bota Systems provides this solution.

Their vision is for robots to work and move safely and as natural and free as humans.
As an ETH spin-off, Bota Systems develops and manufactures load cells, torque sensors, and FT sensors; and is diligent about providing the best external page force-torque sensing solutions and user care experience.
Bota Systems' team of accomplished mechanical, robotic, and software engineers develop highly-integrated and advanced sensors that support a wide range of applications and overcome some of the best-known limitations of existing 6-axis force-torque sensors.
Their sensors include all necessary electrical components, IMU, temperature sensors, USB, EtherCAT communication interface, are dust and water-resistant, and compatible with ROS, MATLAB, and LabVIEW. Whether your sensor is for research or industry, Bota Systems aims to streamline the process. All at a cost-effective price.
