Bota Systems and Kassow Robots partner to enhance touch-sensitive automation. Bota Systems joins the KR Pulse ecosystem, enabling seamless integration, while Kassow Robots joins Bota Systems’ OEM network

Bota Systems, a leader in force-torque sensing technology, and Kassow Robots, a pioneer in agile and powerful collaborative robotics, have joined forces to enable advanced industrial automation. As part of this collaboration, Bota Systems is now a member of Kassow Robots’ KR Pulse ecosystem, which offers seamless integration of a diverse range of end-of-arm tools and software.

By integrating Bota Systems’ high-precision force-torque sensors with Kassow Robots’ collaborative robotic arms, the partnership enhances automation for applications requiring precise force control, such as grinding, polishing, and sanding. These solutions are particularly valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing.

“With Bota Systems now part of the KR Pulse ecosystem, manufacturers can benefit from effortless integration and a streamlined path to automation in force-sensitive tasks,” said Ilias Patsiaouras, CTO & Co-founder at Bota Systems.

This collaboration represents a significant step toward smarter, more adaptive automation, enabling manufacturers to achieve higher quality and productivity with minimal integration effort. Additionally, Kassow Robots now joins Bota Systems’ partner network of robot OEMs, alongside Kinova Robots, Mecademic Robots, Universal Robots, and others.
