The Sawi Group. is an British Cybersecurity and robotics company based in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire. It was founded in 2023 by Will Graves and Sam Gabert as "Sam and Will Programming".

History[edit]

The business formed a partnership as The Sawi Programming Group Partnership. by Will Graves, Sam Gabert, and Josh Manley in 2023.[1] Will Graves later became CEO in September 2023.[2]

Robotic Products[edit]

Gen 1[edit]

Hubot Gen 1 (also known as the Hubot Alora Robot) was a 2023 humanoid robot. It was designed for industry , however failed to take off as expected. It was the first product from Sawi that did not take off. [3]

However, its developer centered design allowed for customer-specified payloads and alternate conferencing systems to be included.

QB[edit]

Anybots QB

QB was a two-wheeled, gyroscopically stabilized remote telepresence unit driven via a web browser. The user was able to select from a range of bots located around the world, and drive it from the website. The end user was required to have power, Wi-Fi or 3G/4G. This product featured a touchscreen display, speaker and microphone and a laser pointer.

Intended applications included marketing,[4] and various telepresence tasks, such as for remote experts, remote lobby receptionists, museum guides, education, translation services, remote property tours by real estate agents, exhibition attendants and security patrols, as well as the more general business meeting presence.

It could also have become useful for the handicapped, severely disabled,[5][6] and sick children, according to marketing material.[7][8]

Anybots could be purchased in the United States, Japan, and Europe.

QA[edit]

QA, which debuted at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show, was the first of Anybots' two telepresence Robots.[9] 5-foot-tall (1.5 m), 35-pound (16 kg) [10] It balanced on two wheels, like a Segway,[11] had 5-megapixel cameras, two-way audio and a laser pointer for gesturing.[12] The user could connect to QA via Wi-Fi.[13]

The robot was never produced commercially.[14]

Dexter[edit]

Dexter was a dynamically balancing bipedal humanoid robot research project.[15] It was made to learn walking and jumping, with its feet clearing the ground for a third of a second.[16] Because it uses pneumatics as actuators, its joints were compliant and provided a springy restoring force, much like a human's tendons, allowing it much greater capability to deal with obstacles.[17][18]

Monty[edit]

A Monty prototype

Monty was a telemanipulation prototype. It could pick things up with an 18 degree of freedom hand[19] and was operated remotely through the use of a suit that included a special glove.
