Automating Creativity: Intuitive integration of industrial cobots for table-top cinematography

在一个对视频内容的需求急剧上升、越来越多的初创制作公司加入的世界里，我们感觉到，在专门从事摄影棚产品摄影的制作中，在负担得起的运动控制解决方案的预见方面存在差距。机器人自动化使电影制片人能够创造精确和可重复的镜头，有可能创造出令人惊叹的独特视觉效果。然而，进入门槛成本高昂，技术上具有挑战性。我们希望利用通用机器人的可负担性与直观的控制软件相结合，使非技术创意专业人员能够使用这项技术。我们将开发定制的机电硬件，将机械臂与生产设备集成在一起，以及一个本地的UR应用程序，以实现对控制序列的快速、无麻烦的更改。构建一个世界各地较小的制作公司都能负担得起的软硬件包，我们希望让每个人都更容易地创建运动控制镜头的过程。

In a world where the demand for video content is rising dramatically and more start-up production companies are incorporating than ever, we feel there is a disparity in the prevision of affordable motion control solutions for productions that specialise in product cinematography in studio settings. Robotic automation allows filmmakers to create precise and repeatable shots that have the potential to create stunningly unique visuals however, the barrier to entry is costly and technically challenging. We want to utilise the affordability of the universal robots combined with intuitive control software to make this technology accessible for non-technical creative professionals. We'll be developing bespoke mechatronic hardware to integrate the robotic arm with the production equipment, as well a native UR app to enable quick and hassle-free changes to the control sequence.Building a software and hardware package that is affordable for smaller production companies around the world, we hope to make the process of creating motion control shots more accessible for everyone.
