Exhibition
Demo: Force sensitive manipulators, micropolishing, Haptic teleoperation
Robots have traditionally excelled in industrial settings with precise, repetitive tasks, but their adaptability in dynamic, unstructured environments has been limited due to complex programming requirements. AI and Machine Learning (ML) promise to make robots more adaptable and easier to program, yet challenges remain, particularly in data acquisition. While current robotic sensors capture motion data like joint positions and visuals, they often lack force measurements crucial for predicting actions and handling deformable or movable objects. Force and torque sensing play a vital role in improving robot control and enabling “physical intelligence” through AI-driven learning, allowing robots to perform tasks like preventing slippage, grasping delicate objects, and operating in dynamic environments. These advancements pave the way for applications in warehouse automation, healthcare, and underwater robotics. This session will explore effective methods for equipping robots with force sensing and capturing high-quality data to advance robotic learning and adaptability.
Bota Systems will demonstrate the following demos:Â
Demo 1: AI policy training through Kinesthetic Teaching.Â
The most prominent data gathering data collection method for outstanding performance on Manipulation with Robotic AI. More to be shown live.
Demo 2: Industrial polishing for watchmakers.
The watchmaking industry requires fine manual skills that are rare to find and difficult to train. Bota Systems polishing system makes polishing of small objects easier and more reliable than ever. A promising technology that will become a powerful tool at the hands of a master in the skill of polishing.
Demo 3: Haptic teleoperation for AI policy training.Â
Embodied, Physical or Robotics AI? You name it; and we give you the tools!
The visitors can close their eyes and will be able to teleoperate a stiff robot via its haptic feedback with precision, safety and agility. It will be the first time trying this setup! Without haptic feedback robots can brake the parts.
This movement can be recorded and replayed with just a button or two. No coding involved!Â
- One can label the episode and gather data to build the AI model to control autonomously the robot.
- One can teleoperate manually hazardous materials like those in nuclear decommissioning.
Demo 4: Tactile sensing for detecting slippage and contact.
More will be demonstrated live.

CynLr SA
About
CynLr is a foundational technology company in robotics and AI that builds Object Intelligence, a technology stack that enables robots to intuitively learn to pick and handle even unknown objects without requiring any prior training. This capability allows robots to operate in unstructured and unpredictable environments, performing tasks that traditional systems cannot automate. In manufacturing, tasks like fitting screws, removing packaging, or assembling parts have resisted automation because they require machines to adapt on the fly. CynLr’s goal is to replace rigid, product-specific lines with Universal Factories, where micro factories can switch between products without needing custom-built machines.
Founded in 2019 and based in Bangalore, India, CynLr has raised $15.2 million from investors including Pavestone Capital, Athera Venture Partners, Speciale Invest, and InfoEdge’s Redstart Labs. With its Design center in Switzerland and Development center in Bangalore, the company has recently opened its US center for Business Development. Its flagship system, CyRo, demonstrates how Object Intelligence can simplify manufacturing and reduce the need for dedicated machines built for single tasks. CynLr was named a 2025 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.
