ROLI is a design-led technology startup that is about to ship its first product, the multi-awardwinningSeaboard GRAND. Our mission is to empower people through intuitive technology,developing interfaces that expand the bandwidth of human-computer interaction.BeatHive is a new type of digital music sequencer designed for easy compatibility withcomputers and tablets. It takes two converging product categories, electronic drum kits andsequencers (both popular music products with growing markets) and integrates them into asingle modular system featuring our proprietary SEA Interface technology and an entirelynovel design. SEA technology, combined with a series of further technological innovationsrequired to realise BeatHive’s breakthrough form factor, will enable us to create a product thatis lightweight, portable, intuitive and accessibly priced, while also offering richness ofinteraction and an unprecedented level of functionality.Our launch of the Seaboard GRAND met with global enthusiasm, with thousands of peoplefrom almost 100 countries registering for the chance to pre-order one of the first 88 Seaboardsin the space of two weeks. BeatHive will build on the technological innovation of theSeaboard, and will add value to our existing SEA technology by combining a number ofadditional functionalities.This application seeks funding for a proof-of-concept R&D project to enable us to conductresearch into the feasibility and long-term possibilities of the BeatHive project. Our keyobjectives are: (1) to verify the technological feasibility of the product by solving thefundamental electronic, mechanical and software engineering challenges, enabling us (2) tobuild a basic prototype, which we can use (3) to assess the commercial potential through usertrials and (4) to explore options for manufacturing and assembly.

ROLI 是一家以设计为主导的技术初创公司，即将推出其首款产品——屡获殊荣的 Seaboard GRAND。我们的使命是通过直观的技术增强人们的能力，开发扩展人机交互带宽的界面。BeatHive 是一种新型数字音乐音序器，旨在轻松兼容计算机和平板电脑。它采用两个融合的产品类别：电子鼓组和音序器（这两种都是市场不断增长的流行音乐产品），并将它们集成到一个模块化系统中，该系统采用我们专有的 SEA 接口技术和全新的设计。 SEA 技术与实现 BeatHive 突破性外形所需的一系列进一步技术创新相结合，将使我们能够创造出一款轻便、便携、直观且价格实惠的产品，同时还提供丰富的交互性和前所未有的功能水平。我们推出的 Seaboard GRAND 受到了全球的热情，来自近 100 个国家的数千人注册了预订首批 88 个产品之一的机会。 两周内就到了海边。 BeatHive 将建立在 Seaboard 的技术创新之上，并将通过结合许多附加功能为我们现有的 SEA 技术增加价值。此申请寻求概念验证研发项目的资金，以使我们能够对 BeatHive 项目的可行性和长期可能性进行研究。我们的主要目标是：（1）通过解决基本的电子、机械和软件工程挑战来验证产品的技术可行性，使我们（2）能够构建一个基本原型，我们可以使用它（3）通过用户试验评估商业潜力，（4）探索制造和组装的选择。
