Learn how to make your own motion controlled robot with Extreme Reality's easy to use Extreme Motion SDK.

1. Create Your Own Motion
Controlled Robot
Powered by Extreme Reality

2. Motion controlled experiences do not need to be limited to games, or even
digital devices, actually a responsive motion interaction can be attained by
using simple and accessible everyday objects.

3. Chen Goldberg, an
Algorithm Engineer at
Extreme Reality created
a cardboard robot
operated by body
movements. Chen’s goal
was to show how our
Extreme Motion SDK can
be used to create off
screen physical human
machine interactions
that are simple to
execute, inexpensive,
and cool.

4. Here’s your 101 for creating your own
DYI robot for under $100

5. Purchase one Micro Maestro Servo Motor controller ($20)

6. A servo motor controller is a circuit that is used
to control the position of a servo motor. It
consists of a controller, the servo motor and
the power supply unit. This specific controller
was used because it is user friendly and can
operate up to 6 servos

7. Purchase 4 Servo’s or more
( Less than $10 )

8. Servos are used to create the movement. The
more servos being used the more freedom of
movement you will have when creating your
robot. In this Robot Chen only needed 4 servos
to create the robots “hand” movements.

9. Place the Servos
on the main
robot joints.
Associate each
servo to its
specific
counterpart
according to the
skeleton data.

10. Use a box in order to hide the motor controller and
servos behind It while allowing it to serve as a
holder for the robots “hands"

11. Modify the Extreme Motion SDK C# sample
project to drive the servo controller based on
the incoming skeletal data

13. Connect the controller to the computer
through a USB and run the sample project

14. And Voilà!

15. You have your own motion controlled robot

16. Our Motion technology is
accessible for anyone
looking to create un
ordinary motion
experiences.

17. The Extreme Motion SDK works with a
simple camera, on any device (iOS,
Android or Windows) enabling both
developers and companies to bring their
motion inspired ideas to life in both
digital and physical environments. For
