Well done Team BOW 👏👏

[Research & Impact at Sheffield @ShefUniImpact]

🚀Exciting News! @sheffielduni spinout company, BOW, has secured a massive £4 million investment from @NorthGritstone to unleash the power of #robotics 🤖

BOW will bridge the gap between different robotic systems, allowing developers to focus on creativity instead of technical hurdles.

This investment will fuel BOW's growth and help developers realise the full potential of this exciting technology, all here in #Sheffield!
