Calling out to all developers, software engineers, Tech companies, and individuals interested in robots to join us for our event where we will demo BOW's early access Beta and allow you to get on BOW’s Software Platform before anyone else!

An event for software developers and robotics companies to learn about BOW's early access program.
Learn how to code for robotics in a hardware agnostic way, simply, using C#.
Learn how to connect robotics to Unity and code assets
Learn how to secure early access for your company
Learn how to secure access to code assets to accelerate your project (VR, teleoperation, XR, Haptics, etc.)

The current robotics industry is stifled by an abundance of software deficiencies, and cross-platform incapabilities. Because of the enormous difficulty of programming robotics applications, to program them successfully requires niche expertise and the startup and scalability costs of introducing robots into the workforce are high. Therefore, the installation rate of robots in productive industries is a fraction of its potential and only 0.57% of developers are capable of programming robotics.

BOW is a Robotics company looking to dismantle these barriers to entry for robotics. BOW’s software platform allows an operator to program any robot, on any operating system, in any programming language, anywhere in the world. Through BOW robotics code will become reusable, potentially sparking the era of collaborative robotics innovation. Additionally, BOWs SDK allows operators to engage with robots at any level of difficulty, unlocking the door for millions of talented minds to enter robotics.

Join us for our Webinar where we display BOW's easy programming and telepresence capabilities and demo the platform. From this event, you will be invited to BOW's early access programme to kickstart your robotics endeavours!

Secure Against What? A Threat Modelling Masterclass

During this masterclass we will be joined by Richard King, Business Analyst at BJSS. Richard has never had much respect for warranties. As a child, his parents banned him from going within arm's length of any new household electronics, in case he tried to take them apart to find out how they worked. Later he became interested not only in how things work but also how they fail. He's worked on various security products, including DDoS protection, encrypted multi-party chat, secure file-sharing, and accidental data-breach prevention.

Richard is currently a business analyst, squad lead, and security evangelist at BJSS Sheffield.

Threat modelling is an analysis method that helps you identify vulnerabilities so that you can mitigate them.

It's a proactive way to review and improve your security.

Join us to work through a practical threat-modelling method that will:

- Minimise vulnerabilities

- Avoid waste

- Communicate the security properties of your system

- Explain which security measures are necessary or valuable, and why

-Stand up to review and challenge
