BOW Hub

What is the BOW Hub?

As its name suggests, the BOW Hub is an application that acts as a center for all things BOW related. The BOW Hub provides:

• Notification of updates available for the Hub, Sim, Apps, APIs and Simulated Robot Drivers.
• Instructions on how to install the BOW API for your chosen language or languages
• Launchers for the BOW Sim and the BOW Apps
• Website links to this documentation and to our repository of tutorials.
• Constantly updated list of currently active robots
• Easy way to select a robot as the target for the next quick connect function

BOW Hub is an unobtrusive application that appears only as a system tray icon and associated menu. Once you have logged in, it will periodically check to see which of the robots associated with your account is online, active and ready to connect.
