About
About Bota Systems
Bota's six-axis sensors measure force in three directions and torque around three axes at the robot wrist or within a joint. Embedded electronics process the strain measurements within the sensor body, reducing external signal-conditioning hardware and simplifying mechanical integration.
SensONE, MiniONE, Rokubi and Medusa products cover different size, load and mounting requirements. EtherCAT, Ethernet, USB and serial interfaces connect directly with industrial controllers and research computers, while ROS 2, MATLAB and LabVIEW support enables force control, hand guiding and teleoperation.
