Bota Systems will exhibit its recently unveiled sensors featuring a through-hole flange design and enhanced cable management at the Robotics Summit & Expo. The company can be found in Booth 315 on the event’s show floor.

“During the Robotics Summit, we will showcase our complete range of sensors at our booth, and we invite you to experience these sensors in action,” Marco Martinaglia, vice president of marketing at Bota Systems, told The Robot Report. “You’ll see a live demonstration of inertia compensation with a handheld device, and a Mecademic Robot equipped with our cutting-edge MiniONE Pro six-axis sensor will perform automated assembly and deburring tasks.”

The company said it designed its latest sensors for humanoids, industrial, and medical robots. It claimed that they can improve functions in fields such as welding and minimally invasive surgeries.

Bota Systems added that its force-torque sensors can give robots a sense of touch, enabling them to accurately and reliably perform tasks that were previously only possible with manual operators.

Bota Systems designs for ease of integration

“We are particularly excited to have just announced the release of our latest sensor, the PixONE,” said Ilias Patsiaouras, co-founder and chief technology officer of Bota Systems.

“The PixONE sensor’s innovative hollow shaft design allows it to be seamlessly integrated between the robot’s arm and the end-of-arm tooling [EOAT], maintaining the integrity of internal cable routing,” he added. “This design is particularly advantageous as many robotic arm manufacturers and OEMs are moving towards internal routing to eliminate cable tangles and motion restrictions.”

Bota Systems is an official distribution and integration partner of Universal Robots and Mecademic.

In October 2023, the company added NEXT Robotics to its distributor network. NEXT is now its official distributor for the German-speaking countries of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. That same month, Bota Systems raised $2.5 million in seed funding.

“Our vision is to equip robots with the sense of touch, making them not only safer and more user-friendly, but also more collaborative,” Klajd Lika, co-founder and CEO of Bota Systems, told The Robot Report. “We look forward to the Robotics Summit and Expo because it brings together the visionaries and brightest minds of the industry — this interaction is valuable for us to shape the development of our next generation of innovative sensors,” 

This will be the largest Robotics Summit & Expo ever. It will include more than 200 exhibitors, various networking opportunities, a Women in Robotics breakfast, a career fair, an engineering theater, a startup showcase, and more. Registration is now open for the event.
