ARCAM / IO.BOT: Robotic camera system

Unlock a new level of creative freedom with the ARCAM / IO.BOT motion control robotic camera system, XD motion’s complete solution for creating a centralized and scalable robotic camera ecosystem. This seamlessly integrated system pairs the agility and reach of the 6-axis ARCAM robotic arm with the power of the IO.BOT software—a single, intuitive interface providing centralized control over your entire robotic fleet, from ARCAMs and PTZs to towers, tracks, and remote heads. Engineered for the evolving needs of broadcast, virtual production, and live events, ARCAM / IO.BOT empowers creators to capture extraordinary shots with unparalleled safety and efficiency.

The 6-axis ARCAM robotic arm provides full motion control and is designed to operate safely around people.

It is programmed to move in 3D within a virtual sphere, with operational diameters of 1.7 m (ARCAM 5), 2.5 m (ARCAM 10, ARCAM 15, ARCAM 30), or 3.5 m (ARCAM 20).

An optional dolly can support the ARCAM 10 and ARCAM 15 models upside down.

All models are particularly suited for dynamic shots, whether wide shots in movement or close-ups for Pan and Tilt, and can also be fixed.

If you want to gain space on the floor, hang the robot on a wall or ceiling.

This arm does not need any complex calibration and is fast to set up.

The ARCAM is Augmented Reality compatible for any actual 3D engine under FreeD protocol. XD motion provide all metadata for XYZ position, pan/tilt/roll angles, and zoom/focus positions.

The IO.BOT software is designed by and for end users to ensure functional and ergonomic satisfaction.

Save time and space by controlling all PTZs, ARCAMs Robots, and other remote heads robotics with IO.BOT single interface.
