Problem
Robotic applications requiring precise force control, such as surface finishing, assembly, and medical procedures, are often limited by the difficulty and complexity of integrating force torque sensors. Traditional force torque sensors can be cumbersome to integrate, requiring significant setup time for cabling, signal conditioning, and custom adapters, increasing the risk of misinterpreting force measurements.
Solution
Bota Systems provides digital 6-axis force torque sensors designed to simplify force sensing for robotic applications. Their sensors are compact, fully integrated, and provide accurate force and torque measurements, enabling robots to interact safely and effectively with their environment. Bota Systems' sensors feature a plug-and-play design with built-in electronics, integrated 6 DoF IMU, temperature measurements, and negligible drift. The company also provides software integration with TwinCAT, ROS, LabVIEW, and MATLAB®, reducing integration time and streamlining the force-sensing process.
Target Audience
Bota Systems' primary customers include robotic integrators, researchers, and end-users in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, and space robotics who require precise force control for robotic applications.
