GlamBot

GlamBot is a 6-axis robotic camera arm. MixUp drives it through scenes — sequences of arm poses — to create sweeping slow-motion shots around a guest.

How it connects

Section titled “How it connects”

The arm connects to the booth PC over one of several interfaces:

  • USB / UART
  • Bluetooth
  • RS-232
  • AUX (Ethernet)

If the arm isn’t reachable you’ll see “Robot arm not connected”. See Connect & home the arm.

Key concepts

Section titled “Key concepts”
  • Pose — one arm position (6 axes), with a Speed, acceleration, and a timeout before moving to the next pose.
  • Scene — an ordered list of poses the arm plays as one move. Scenes can be stored on the Robot Arm or on the MixUp App.
  • Homing — the arm must find its home position before it can move. States go Not homed → Homing → Homed.
  • Safety systems — collision pause/stop, limit switches, home-switch sync, and the E-Stop kill switch.

Two topics

Section titled “Two topics”
  1. Connect & home the arm — interface, connection, homing, and safety.
  2. Scenes & the editor — built-in scenes, the Scenes Editor, poses, and assigning a scene to a project.
