BOW

Last year, BOW participated in the Innovate UK Robotics Proving Ground programme, which gave us the opportunity to use state-of-the-art facilities and collaborate with industry experts.  The programme allowed us to: ✅ Test and validate our universal robotics SDK across industrial, collaborative, and mobile robots ✅ Optimise solutions for teleoperations & autonomous robotics, leading to a Smart Factory Award at the Robotics & Automation Awards 2024 ✅ Demonstrate the real-time adaptability of the BOW SDK—switching robotic hardware with no code changes in real-time at a MTC - Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) event last May ✅ Contribute to National Robotics Strategy discussions with policymakers   Read more about our contributions to the programme in this new blog post: https://lnkd.in/e2iKqfp3    #bow #robotics #roboticsapplications #softwaredevelopment #robots #funding #roboticists #blog #casestudy #innovateuk #governmentstrategy

Sheffield is BOW’s home for good reason. It’s where our founder, Daniel Camilleri, studied, and it’s a thriving hub for manufacturing, robotics, and deep tech. Access to top-tier talent from institutions like the The University of Sheffield AMRC, combined with regional investment and cost advantages makes Sheffield an ideal location for us. Regional hubs like Sheffield are growing across the UK, offering startups access to specialised talent and supporting highly promising technology ecosystems outside of London. At BOW, we’re proud to be part of this movement. Our CEO Nick Thompson spoke to Entrepreneur UK in their new issue about the reasons behind the rise of regional hubs, and how BOW is taking full advantage. https://lnkd.in/egpsnjRT #bow #robotics #roboticsapplications #softwaredevelopment #robots #funding #roboticists #sheffield #regionalhubs #yorkshire #entrepreneur

Today we can announce that BOW has closed a £4 million seed round. This funding, led by Northern Gritstone alongside Finance Yorkshire and Praetura Ventures via the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, marks a pivotal step in making robotics accessible to all developers. What makes BOW revolutionary?  Today, programming robots is costly and complex, often requiring specific robotics expertise. With BOW's platform and SDK, developers can:    ✅ Use their preferred operating system and programming language.  ✅ Seamlessly program and manage different robots.  ✅ Create innovative robotics applications without needing to be specialised roboticists. This opens doors to new use cases in underserved sectors, driving innovation in an industry projected to reach $260 billion by 2030. Check out our CEO, Nick Thompson, sharing what today’s big announcement means for BOW and the future of robotics innovation.

As 2025 gets into full swing, we’re taking a moment to look back at an extraordinary year for the robotics industry—and for us at BOW.    2024 was a year of milestones, growth, and innovation. Here are some of our key highlights: 🌍 Global Launch: Officially unveiled our platform at Hannover Messe and showcased the power of BOW across the globe.    🤝 Game-Changing Partnerships: Collaborated with leading OEMs, including inMotion.Robotic and Sarcomere Dynamics.    🦾 Creative Expansion: Announced an exciting new partnership in the creative industries with XPLOR .    🏆 Award Wins: Proud recipients of two Robotics & Automation Awards and named as one of Europe’s top 100 start ups by The Europas.    🤖 Leadership Boost: Welcomed Raspberry Pi co-founder Liz Upton as our chair.  Want to know more about how BOW is transforming the robotics industry? Check out our full 2024 round-up here: https://lnkd.in/eMBiZw5f    #bow #robotics #roboticsapplications #softwaredevelopment #BOW #robots 

We’re honoured and excited to welcome Liz Upton as the new Chair of BOW’s Board.  As co-founder of Raspberry Pi, Liz has helped grow the company from a start-up to a global leader, driving the sales of over 60 million units and guiding its successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year. Her experience in scaling transformational technology aligns perfectly with BOW’s mission: democratising robotics and making it accessible to millions of developers worldwide.  By lowering the barrier to entry and empowering software developers to build robotics solutions, BOW’s platform allows companies to unlock valuable new use cases in sectors previously underserved by robotics.

🚀 BOW wins The Smart Factory Award! 🚀 We’re excited to share that BOW has been awarded The Smart Factory Award at this year’s Robotics & Automation Awards.  This honour recognises our work with Sarcomere Dynamics and inMotion.Robotic, driving innovative solutions in robotics for industrial automation.  ✅ With Sarcomere Dynamics, we developed a custom tele-operations robot, operational within a week. It delivered flawless remote performance from over 750 km away during the World Nuclear Exhibition. ✅ With inMotion.Robotic, we advanced applications for bionic quadruped robots, enabling them to conduct safe, reliable inspections in hazardous environments like power plants and emergency sites.  A special shoutout to our CTO, Daniel Camilleri, who accepted the award on behalf of our team.  This recognition demonstrates the effectiveness of our universal robotics software platform to simplify development, lower costs, and accelerate deployment across industrial sectors. Huge thanks to our partners Sarcomere Dynamics and InMotion Robotic, and to the judges and attendees who made this possible. #award #robotics #industrialautomation #bow #startup #innovation #robots #smartfactory #industry #remotecontrol #ROBOAA24

Proud to be leading one of Europe’s “hottest” (their words) start ups!

🎉 BOW has been recognised as one of Europe’s 100 hottest start-ups by The Europas!  Organised by Mike Butcher ✍️, editor-at-large for TechCrunch, The Europas has celebrated Europe’s most ambitious and successful start-ups for the past 16 years. A massive thank you to the Europas judging panel - comprised of leading VCs and investors; founders and senior tech journalists – for believing in the power of our universal robotics platform. #bow #robots #robotics #awards #europas #theeuropas100 #startup #softwaredevelopment #roboticsapplications

Back in 2021, we were named one of 15 finalists at the ANA Avatar XPRIZE competition.     This year, we will be returning as XPRIZE alumni to celebrate 30 years of XPRIZE’s impact.    Our CEO Nick Thompson will be at XPRIZE’s #Visioneering event in Malibu to give attendees the opportunity to meet and interact with our quadruped BOWIE.    XPRIZE rewards the best kind of innovation: that which goes towards solving the greatest challenges facing humanity. BOW’s placement as a 2021 finalist underscores the potential of robotics, and, specifically, of robot-agnostic platforms.     Read all about our XPRIZE journey here: https://lnkd.in/dRumQ6q5     #XPRIZE30 #BOW #robotics #3dinnovation #AI #robotcontrol #BowSDK #Automation #MachineLearning #softwaredevelopment #event #exhibition #malibu
