Robots are advancing fast, but programming them? That’s still a challenge—until now. Enter BOW, a University of Sheffield spinout that just secured £4 million to make robot programming simpler, faster, and more accessible. Right now, coding a robot can feel like trying to get different operating systems to agree on anything—it’s complex, expensive, and slows down innovation.

BOW’s software development kit (SDK) fixes that. By bridging the gap between different robotic systems, BOW lets developers focus on creativity, not compatibility issues.

Their platform works across multiple robots, regardless of manufacturer or operating system—a game-changer for the industry. With the robotics market projected to hit $260 billion by 2030, BOW’s universal platform could unleash the full potential of robotics.

This £4 million investment, led by Northern Gritstone and co-investors, will help BOW grow its team and accelerate development—bringing us closer to a world where programming robots is as easy as writing an app. Exciting times ahead for robotics, and BOW is leading the way!
