ROBOTIC CAMERA CONTROL VIA MOTION CAPTURE
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling a robot, the method comprising:
- generating motion capture data based on one or more movements of an operator;
processing the motion capture data to generate control signals for controlling the robot; and
transmitting the control signals to the robot to cause the robot to mimic the one or more movements of the operator.

Abstract
A motion capture setup records the movements of an operator, and a control engine then translates those movements into control signals for controlling a robot. The control engine may directly translate the operator movements into analogous movements to be performed by the robot, or the control engine may compute robot dynamics that cause a portion of the robot to mimic a corresponding portion of the operator.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to control a robot by performing the steps of:
-
generating motion capture data based on one or more movements of an operator; processing the motion capture data to generate control signals for controlling the robot; and transmitting the control signals to the robot to cause the robot to mimic the one or more movements of the operator. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for controlling a robot, comprising:
-
a memory storing a control application; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to; generate motion capture data based on one or more movements of an operator, process the motion capture data to generate control signals for controlling the robot, and transmit the control signals to the robot to cause the robot to mimic the one or more movements of the operator. - View Dependent Claims (20)
