The robotics market is projected to reach $260 billion by 2030, yet realising the full potential of robotics is out of reach for many companies and industries because of the high cost and complexity of programming robots. BOW’s robot-agnostic software development kit (SDK) and the BOW platform solves this bottleneck, making it possible for the first time to program any robot using any operating system in any programming language.

BOW – which stands for “Bettering our Worlds” - makes it possible for any software developer to create and deploy robotics applications and manage robots. By removing the need for highly-specialised robotics programmers, BOW’s universal robotics platform allows companies to leverage the skills of generalist software developers and opens up valuable new use cases in sectors that have previously been underserved by robotics.

Liz Upton, who co-founded Raspberry Pi in 2008, played a crucial role as Chief Marketing Officer in the company’s growth, achieving sales of over 60 million units worldwide and a successful IPO on the London Stock Exchange earlier this year.

Liz Upton’s appointment follows news of BOW’s recent partnership with XPLOR, the world’s first Live Events R&D and Innovation centre. The partnership is pioneering the adoption of robotics in the film and creative industries, focusing on developing new applications, improving efficiency and lowering production costs.

Liz Upton, Chair at BOW said: “The BOW team’s passion for innovation and their commitment to developing the world’s first universal robotics platform is inspiring. At Raspberry Pi, we have always been driven by the mission of democratising computing for all. Robotics similarly has the potential to help solve global challenges but only if we can remove the barriers to its adoption. BOW solves the current complexity of developing robotics applications and makes programming any robot in any programming language possible for the first time. I’m excited to join this pioneering and fast-growing company as Chair and to helping BOW make the tremendous benefits of robotics universally accessible.”

Nick Thompson, CEO of BOW, said: “We are delighted to welcome Liz Upton to BOW as our new Chair and I’d like to thank our former Chair, Pete Hopton, for his contribution to BOW since 2020. Liz brings a wealth of experience in scaling a transformational technology business globally. In addition, her deep commitment to innovation and education aligns perfectly with BOW’s mission to enable millions of software developers to develop robotics applications for the betterment of our world.”

TAIPEI, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 28, 2024--

Rugged embedded computer brand—Cincoze has launched two new series of GPU embedded computers that overcome harsh environmental challenges, meet various application requirements, and provide comprehensive computing solutions for the booming Edge AI market. The dual full-length GPU expandable computers (GP-3100 series) support the latest 14th generation Intel® Core™ processors (Raptor Lake-S Refresh) and up to two 250W full-length GPU cards. They deliver the high computing performance required for Industrial AI, high-end machine vision, and machine learning applications. For space-limited Edge AI applications, the rugged and compact GPU computers (GM-1100 series) are the best choice. With a compact size of only 260 x 200 x 85 mm and support for an NVIDIA MXM GPU card, they combine powerful computing performance and excellent graphics processing capabilities. It has been the best-selling model in the GPU Computing - GOLD product line for many years.

Dual Full-length GPU Expandable Computer (GP-3100 series)

As the flagship model in the Cincoze GPU Computing – GOLD product line, the GP-3100 series demonstrates top-notch capabilities in performance, functionality, and future scalability, targeting applications with heavy computing requirements such as high-end machine vision and machine learning. In terms of performance, it can be equipped with the latest 14th generation Intel® Core processor (Raptor Lake-S Refresh), supports up to two 250W full-length high-end GPU cards (length up to 328mm) and 5600MHz DDR5 ECC memory, provides high-speed NVMe SSD, and four front-accessible 2.5" HDD/SSD trays for multiple storage options. High-speed data transmission can rely on the native I/O (2.5 GbE LAN and USB 3.2) or expanded I/O through CMI and CFM modules. Three patented design features on the GP-3100 solve the common customer pain points of heat dissipation, stability, and upgrade flexibility. The patented heat dissipation design ensures stable operation of the CPU and GPU at full capacity; the Adjustable 3D GPU Card Mounting Bracket ensures that the GPU card is stable and does not loosen in high-vibration environments; and the GPU Expansion Box (GEB) can be replaced to support more high-end GPU cards or expansion cards, making future performance upgrades more flexible. The rugged nature of the GP-3100 series complies with many international and industry standards (E-mark, EN 50121-3-2 for rail applications, and MIL-STD-810H military standard), making it the best choice for efficient computing in harsh environments.

Rugged, compact GPU Computers (GM-1100 series)

The GM-1100 series, which is only 260 x 200 x 85 mm, is designed for mobility and Edge AI applications with limited installation space. It is one of the few GPU computers on the market that combines small size and high performance, supporting 14th generation Intel® Core™ processors (Raptor Lake-S Refresh) to enable the choice of Hybrid or P-core Monolithic architectures to suit application needs. It supports NVIDIA MXM Type A and Type B GPU cards, providing excellent GPU computing performance. To overcome the high temperatures caused by the simultaneous operation of the CPU and GPU, an exclusive heat dissipation design and integrated external fans ensure stable and reliable system operation. The GM-1100 series provides a complete solution for mobility applications, with M.2 slots that support wireless communications modules such as 5G and Wi-Fi, and EN 50155 (EN 50121-3-2 only) for rail applications and E-mark certification. Various industrial-grade protection mechanisms and passing the MIL-STD-810H military standard are the basis for the GM-1100 series to win the favor of customers.
