Bota Systems partners with Kinova to add sense of touch to AI robotics [Video]

Advances in perception promise to advance machine learning and robotic manipulation. Kinova Inc. last week announced that it has partnered with Bota Systems AG to bridge the simulation-to-reality gap with multimodal interaction sensing and accelerate robot development.

“As artificial intelligence continues to transform industries, the underexplored modalities of force-torque data offer unprecedented opportunities for advancing robotic learning,” stated Bota Systems. “This collaboration will empower research labs to efficiently gather and analyze force-torque, inertial and temperature data, paving the way for novel AI applications.”

Spun out of ETH Robotics Systems Lab in 2020, Bota Systems develops and manufactures multi-axis force-torque sensors, torque sensors, and custom sensors. The Zurich, Switzerland-based company said its sensors give robots the sense of touch so they can move and work freely and safely in academic and industrial applications.
