Bota Systems’ PixONE recognized as winner of EDGE Award
The PixONE is an industrial lightweight force torque sensor that measures on 6 axes, provided in a compact housing which is dust-proof and water-resistant.
Zurich, Switzerland - 20th September 2024 - Bota Systems, a pioneer in multi-axis force torque sensors, is honoured to announce its PixONE sensor has been chosen as a winner in the 2024 EDGE Awards, in the category Robotics & Motion Control.
The 2024 EDGE Awards program celebrates outstanding innovation in product design and function for the engineering industry. EDGE Award winners are chosen by the qualified readers of Machine Design, Electronic Design, Power & Motion, Microwaves & RF, Vision Systems Design, Laser Focus World, and Military + Aerospace Electronics. Winners, honourees, nominees, and the Leading Edge Award are revealed every fall.
The PixONE is an industrial lightweight force torque sensor that measures on 6 axes, provided in a compact housing which is dust-proof and water-resistant. It includes embedded electronics, an inertial measurement (IMU) and temperature sensors. The PixONE is designed for applications in automation used for polishing, assembly and pick-and-place and for humanoid robots.
"We are proud that PixONE has been chosen as a winner of this prestigious award," said Klajd Lika, CEO & Co-Founder at Bota Systems. "This recognition of PixONE is a great recognition of our team's dedication to Robotic Sensors innovation.
The EDGE Awards, formerly known as the IDEA Awards, are organized by Endeavor Business Media. Every year, the awards showcase and reward companies, designers, and innovators who have contributed to the advancement of technology through their creative and impactful designs.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
