This Master´s Thesis deals with the principle of the work and wide range of use of the Motion Control rigs use. It familiarizes readers with the types of rigs and their technical aspects which might affect any shooting. In this work I try to explain my all gathered experiences from my six months working internship in London at the world leading motion control company Mark Roberts Motion Control Ltd. This company (althought it is not the only one motion control rig company in the world) has given me the wide view due to its complex production starting with the motion control rigs and ending with its software. Thanks to being on quite a lot of filming sets where these righ were used I try to explain and recapitulate all my practical experiences from this specialized and technical challengingly part of cinematography which is not quite usual.

The thesis will be established as prototype of DSP-Based motion control card with USB2.0 interface. The whole system is composed of three subsystems: 1. Windows AP¡]Application Program¡^, 2.USB2.0 development tools, and 3.DSP development tools. Many motion control commands can be transmitted from friendly AP, through USB2.0 development board, to DSP development board, for example, position, velocity and acceleration. DSP will parse and execute these commands immediately; furthermore, the course and result of processing can be sent back to host by the same route. Then AP can display the data received from target with high readability. In a word, proved by experiment, the thesis achieved the expected goal: accomplish the prototype research and development of DSP-Based motion control card with USB2.0 interface.

M.Ing. / This study describes a new class of mechanism to provide leg like motion, for use in a new type of walking machine, that is larger and simpler than electromechanical machines that are currently available. The mechanism is located in a historic context, and current technology in this area is reviewed. The problem of calculating the geometry of the complex mechanism is solved using an innovative solution based on coordinate geometry, which may be extended to solve other planar mechanisms of either greater or lesser complexity. All assumptions have been detailed. The analysis covers both the motion and the power requirements required to make the mechanism move. Structural aspects, which may affect any practical walking machine, are covered. A software implementation has been developed, providing output to demonstrate that the model developed reflects reality, within the limits of the assumptions made.

A navigation system developed for an omni-directional wheeled mobile robot, called the Omnibot, is presented. This system is developed to enable the Omnibot to autonomously navigate, in a collision-free manner, along predefined paths in indoor structured office or factory-like environments. The navigation system is composed of four integrated subsystems: localization, path- following, velocity control, and obstacle detection. The path-following subsystem is responsible for driving the Omnibot along a given path based on feedback about its location relative to its environment. A localization system that uses a combination of odometry and a novel indoor GPS-like system provides the necessary estimates of the Omnibot's position and orientation (i.e., pose). Using the pose updates from the localization subsystem, the path-following subsystem is able to compute motion commands to drive the Omnibot along the path. Execution of these motion commands is performed by the velocity control subsystem, which uses feedback control to regulate the angular velocities of the motors driving the Omnibot's wheels to produce the required motion of the robot. To ensure collision-free navigation, the Omnibot is equipped with an array of infrared distance sensors for detecting obstacles around its perimeter. Interaction between a human operator and the Omnibot is facilitated with a user-control interface running on a remote workstation. The interface allows the operator to visualize the Omnibot's location within a 3D model of its indoor workspace and provides a means to input commands. Testing of the developed system is performed, and the results confirm its e effectiveness at enabling the Omnibot to perform collision-free autonomous navigation in an indoor structured environment. / UOIT
