About this report
BOW is a young robotics software company that emerged from the University of Sheffield with a bold mission: to eliminate the complexity and fragmentation in programming robots. This UK-based spin-off is building what it calls a “universal language for robots,” a platform-agnostic software toolkit that allows any developer to control any robot, regardless of manufacturer or operating system .
Born in 2020, BOW has quickly gained recognition for its groundbreaking approach – drawing inspiration from neuroscience and even an aquarium epiphany – to create a common “brain” for diverse robotic bodies .
