About Us
At BOW, we’re driven by a singular vision: Unlocking the next golden age of humanity through a collaboration-revolution in Robotics software. We are revolutionising the field of robotics by simplifying the complexities involved in programming, integrating, and deploying robotic solutions. Founded on the principles of innovation, accessibility, and efficiency, BOW is dedicated to empowering developers, businesses, and academic institutions to harness the full potential of robotics technology. Our mission is to bridge the gap between the digital and physical worlds, enabling the creation of robotic applications that were once deemed too complex or inaccessible.
Our Journey
The genesis of BOW came from a realisation that the robotics industry was fraught with barriers to entry, including the steep learning curves associated with robot-specific programming languages and the siloed nature of robotic systems. In response, we developed the BOW Software Development Kit (SDK), a groundbreaking platform designed to democratise robotics programming and make it accessible to a wider audience.

What We Offer
BOW SDK
At the heart of our offerings is the BOW SDK, a comprehensive toolkit that abstracts the underlying complexity of robotics programming. It provides developers with a universal API, simulation environments for testing applications, and the BOW Hub for managing robot licences and communications.
Simulator
Our simulator allows developers to test and refine their applications in a controlled environment before deploying them to real-world robots, ensuring reliability and safety.
API
The BOW API is designed for intuitive development, enabling the creation of sophisticated robotics applications with ease.
BOW Hub
A central management system for robot licences and communication, the BOW Hub streamlines the deployment and operation of robotic solutions.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a world where the development and deployment of robotics solutions are not hindered by technical complexities. We aim to foster an ecosystem where developers, irrespective of their robotics programming background, can contribute to advancing the field of robotics. By doing so, we believe we can unlock new possibilities in various sectors including manufacturing, healthcare, education, and beyond.
