Robotics software company BOW has introduced a new application designed to simplify the deployment of robotic security patrols. The solution, named Mission Control, was unveiled at Hannover Messe 2025 and is built on BOW’s software development kit (SDK) and Universal Controller platform.
Mission Control enables businesses to deploy and manage a range of BOW SDK-enabled robots, including quadruped and wheeled models, for security and monitoring purposes. The application runs on Android tablets and supports both autonomous and manual operation modes, utilising differential GPS for outdoor use. According to the company, Mission Control allows users without programming expertise to define patrol routes and set specific trigger-based actions, supporting routine inspections and security tasks. BOW is demonstrating the new system at Hannover Messe in collaboration with its partners InMotion and DEEP Robotics. The announcement follows BOW’s £4 million seed funding round disclosed in January.
Nick Thompson, CEO of BOW said: “We’re delighted to showcase Mission Control here at Hannover Messe with BOW SDK-enabled robots from our partners at InMotion and DEEP Robotics. At events like this, innovation in robotics is on display almost everywhere you look – but there’s a very high barrier to entry for most businesses who lack the specialised skills and development resources needed to integrate robots into their day-to-day operations. BOW’s universal robotics software platform, and our latest application Mission Control, makes deploying robots to patrol your business premises as easy as a walk in the park. It’s going to transform the industry and allow any business to immediately enhance their security with customised, automated robot patrols.”
