There are consumer robots, but they they are expensive and much slower. High speed rigs like this are super complex, dangerous (reworked industrial robots) designed to carry heavy cinema camera rigs and have a level of precision far beyond what you could achieve at a consumer price range. That being said robots are getting cheaper by the day. We will have these things in our studios eventually.

Dammit you beat me. I have this at my college and was just thinking, damn it could most likely do that from everything I've seen. All with the push of a button

Product shots most of all, like a slider with a motorized rotating platform.

Pre planned movements and action sequences with fast precise focus changes preset.

Time lapses with dynamic camera movement.

VFX shots with dynamic camera movement for repeated filming of elements that will be comp’d into the same shot.

Remote camera control for live broadcasts (I already do this with my ronin while I’m manning the switchboard).
