Why Bota Sensors

A New Standard in Robotic Force Sensing

Traditional FT sensors require external boxes, complex wiring, and heavy integration work.

Bota Systems eliminates all of that.

All-in-ONE design with fully embedded electronics.

Negligible measurement drift for long-term stability

Ultra-low noise for high-precision control
Compact & lightweight designs for any robot size
USB, Serial, Ethernet, EtherCAT connectivity

Integrated 6-DoF IMU for complete dynamic feedback

Open-source software (Python, C++, ROS2)
Industrial reliability proven in harsh environments

Applications of Force Torque Sensing

Force torque sensors allow robots to detect contact, regulate applied force, and adapt to real-world interaction. By measuring forces and torques at the robot tool, they enable precise, compliant, and safe manipulation.

Typical applications include:

  • Precision assembly — controlled insertion and alignment of parts
  • Surface finishing — sanding, polishing, and deburring with constant force
  • Teleoperation & haptics — remote manipulation with real-time force feedback
  • Physical AI & robot learning — collecting interaction data for learning-from-demonstration
  • Collaborative robotics — safe human–robot interaction and adaptive manipulation

Testimonials

“Rokubi is the most accurate and robust 6-axis force torque sensor with embedded electronics.”

Marco Hutter

Robotic Systems Lab ETH Zurich

“We chose to use three Rokubi EtherCAT sensors for our upper-limb exoskeleton due to their small volume and integrated electronics. These features make them easy to incorporate into the design of the exoskeleton. Furthermore, the different connector locations help to integrate the sensor flush into the design. The drift resistance of the sensors is beneficial for use in longer exercises where the arm of the user is continuously connected to the sensor. The inbuilt electronics for EtherCAT communication enable adding sensors in a modular fashion to an existing framework of actuators and sensors. This keeps the flexibility of the system high.”

Yves Zimmermann

Robotic Systems Lab & Sensory-Motor Systems Lab ETH Zurich

“While our Gen3 robot already has a built-in torque sensor, adding the Bota sensor takes its precision and sensitivity to a whole new level – meeting the demands from research laboratories for higher precision and higher sensitivity”
