Bavaria-based Camerobot Systems GmbH has introduced a radical new approach to broadcasting - by bringing state-of-the-art robotics into the studio. Camerobot, a robotic system for automating cameras, features a variety of new technological solutions for longstanding challenges on live and virtual sets.
At a time of intense competition among networks, particularly those offering daily news programming, robotic automation opens up new creative possibilities. Camerobot, which was recently updated, ensures constant quality of pictures and frames, thanks to its precision, smooth motion, and ability to shoot from a variety of angles beyond pan and tilt.
A 4-meter operating diameter makes it possible to capture broad sweeps of movement. Tracking shots are programmed in 4ms resolution, guaranteeing smooth motion and flawless synchronization of real time images and virtual overlays, even those containing movement. Camerobot can be controlled either manually with a joystick or in automatic mode via studio automation, wherein an operator programs a pre-set series of locations. An optional aircushion system enables the camera to "walk" through the studio.
A newly redesigned robotic arm from Staubli Robotics features a more force-resistant tilt unit, which minimizes vibration while providing greater agility with lower weight and fewer cables around the attachment interface. The tilt unit is integrated into the control loop of Camerobot's CS8C robot controller - a real-time control system five times faster than video imaging speed, enabling pinpoint precision.

Featured Product
Bota Systems - The SensONE 6-axis force torque sensor for robots
Our Bota Systems force torque sensors, like the SensONE, are designed for collaborative and industrial robots. It enables human machine interaction, provides force, vision and inertia data and offers "plug and work" foll all platforms. The compact design is dustproof and water-resistant. The ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting flange makes integrating the SensONE sensor with robots extremely easy.
No adapter is needed, only fasteners! The SensONE sensor is a one of its kind product and the best solution for force feedback applications and collaborative robots at its price. The SensONE is available in two communication options and includes software integration with TwinCAT, ROS, LabVIEW and MATLAB®.
