Bota Systems AG

Better together. 🤝 Starting from Athens last Christmas we did the same in Zurich. This time the crowd was massive. More than 400 attendees and many from around the world 🌍 joined us. Organizing yesterday’s Zurich Robotics Meetup with my friend @_dario_b_ and TheRoboticsClub was a highlight of February. We started this with a simple goal: to bring the local robotics community closer together. It became bigger than we expected 😅 It wouldn’t have been possible without our entertaining guests Marco Hutter from ETH Zürich, Edo Jelavić from @GravisRobotics , Eris Dhionis Sako from @Duatic , Giorgio Valsecchi from @RIVR, Manuel Yves Galliker , Dario Bellicoso from RAI Institute , and myself (😂) from @BotaSystems . @leggedrobotics Lab Alumni sent a message to how a strong robotics community looks like. Seeing the deep-dive technical conversations and the new connections made over drinks made all the planning worth it. Stay tuned and see how the Zurich Robotics community will create an impact and add socioeconomic value. If you missed this one, don't worry—we’re just getting started. Swipe left to see some highlights from the night! 📸

Zurich in February will be covered in Roboticists! 250 RSVPs! 14 days to go! Don’t miss it! Still spots available Subscribe here: luma.com/oouk1ecu

We come from research first and foremost and we want to give back to fellow researchers; robotics is being reimagined with AI and modern tools and approaches are pushing the industry forward unlocking unpredented reliability, precision, dexterity and ease of use. Again starting from research; our platform has been enabling researchers from Stanford, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, UCLA, Cornell, UTA, Texas A&M University, ETH Zurich, EPFL, Delft, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, and many many more to explore what’s possible with modern robotics; We’re excited to expand our research program, enabling researchers from similar labs to use the latest and greatest of our products, including MiniONE Gen A, for research purposes; if you are a researcher that contributes on AI for robotics, you are building AI models with the sense of touch or you plan to do as of TOMORROW, you are working for a university and would acknowledge Bota contribution in dissemination then apply here to get access to our products: botasys.com/physical-ai

Tactile Sensing based on MiniONE FT sensors with: - minimized creep, - temperature dependency, - degradation of the sensing element, - and a costless elastic touching surface made with 3d printers designed to your shape of preference

The @UnitreeRobotics G1 model is now equipped with an additional sense of touch, reaching unprecedented manipulation capabilities.

Many were asking if our force controllers and Kinova Gen 3 could go faster and match human speeds. It turns out that @Klajd_Lika couldn’t go faster, but the robot could.

1x speed + Superhuman dexterity We developed interaction intelligence based on physics, control theory, and force sensing. Closing the loop at 1 millisecond is more than enough for humanlike physical interaction experience. Now we can teach it by hand guidance some Primitive Robotic Skills that run at lower frequencies like: - grasping, - no-slip control, - mobility, - contact-based actions, and - continuous contact manipulation. In the near future we will climb a layer up and teach it some combined skills. These can be still be considered equivalent to “machine language” in CS. Later on, we can teach it a higher level of commands that involve the world and interpretation of human commands. This we can also leave for CS people that are experts at. ;) Stay tuned.

Well... this sensing is coming to stay. For whole-body manipulation, for locomotion, for wrench estimation, and for any robot actuator that has strain-wave, planetary or any other speed reducer, our torque sensors will be a gold standard that will be produced at scale. It will come at a cost that make sense without sacrificing a tiny little bit of performance. Stay tuned at botasys.com

We’re excited to announce that our ecosystem supports the @FRANKAROBOTICS FR3, delivering full 6-DOF force feedback for advanced teleoperation and kinesthetic teaching through the SensONE Gen-A FT Sensor. Learn more in our product page: botasys.com/robot-accessor…

Giving PiPER the sense of touch! PiPER SensONE Gen A Kit! Integration kit for @AgilexRobotics robot with our SensONE Gen A 6-axis force torque sensor, including software, cabling, and everything needed for fast seamless deployment.

Delicate tasks

Pushing the Boundaries of Haptic Teleoperation. We now support the Haption 6D haptic device, delivering full 6-DOF force feedback for advanced teleoperation. New levels of precision for assembly, pick and place, polishing, grinding, and other demanding force-sensitive tasks

You all have watched the 1X Neo video. And you know that, when it comes to humanoids, the most difficult tasks are still teleoperated. Here is the future of teleoperation: High-fidelity haptics, paired with state-of-the-art robotics, making control feel natural and responsive! Force sensing by @BotaSystems unlocks a new level of dexterity and precision for the next generation of robotic manipulation, bringing the future of teleoperation to today.

Towards trillions of parameters and millions of training hours! Autonomy with AI requires that any data engine or platform should account for efficiency and quality. That is why full robot dynamics and kinematics should be included in any episode recording. With Force being the most fundamental modality @BotaSystems solutions stand for their intuitiveness: - With a sense of touch of less than 0.1N and 0.01N on the fingertip level. - Less than 30ms latencies of teleoperated over thousands of km.

Record & Replay with a couple of clicks in under one minute. A force-sensitive system to train a Robotic AI like never before! Bota’s Kinaesthetic Teaching system is one of a kind. No AI was used for the replay. If you train an AI like this you might be able to see astonishing success rates that weren’t possible before.

At Bota, we’re leveraging force sensing to empower the AI community with the next generation of robotic data collection methods. • Intuitiveness • Precision & reliability • Efficiency Discover how we’re enabling Physical AI: botasys.com/physical-ai
