Bota Systems AG is a Swiss technology company that develops multi-axis force–torque sensors used in robotic and automation applications. The company is headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, with a subsidiary in Athens, Greece.[1]
History
Bota Systems was founded in 2020 as a spin-off from the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich by Klajd Lika, Ilias Patsiaouras, and Marco Hutter.[2] The company’s early research focused on tactile sensing for legged robots, leading to the development of lightweight, compact sensors. In October 2020, Bota Systems received CHF 150,000 in support from the Venture Kick startup program.[1] In 2023, the company raised US$2.5 million in a seed funding round to expand international operations.[3]
Products
Bota Systems manufactures six-axis force–torque sensors designed for robotic arms, mobile robots, powered exoskeletons, and surgical robots.[4] The sensors are designed to be compact and integrated directly into robot systems without additional electronics.
Notable products include:
- MiniONE – a compact six-axis sensor
- Rokubi – a medium-range sensor for collaborative robots (cobots)
- PixONE – designed for high-torque industrial applications
Recognition
Bota Systems’ products have been adopted by research institutions such as ETH Zurich and Carnegie Mellon University.[5] In 2024, the company received the EDGE Award from RoboticsTomorrow for its PixONE sensor.[6]
